Electrical Panel Upgrades

Your electrical panel decides how much power your home or business can safely use. We replace outdated and undersized panels — including Federal Pacific, Zinsco and old fuse boxes — with modern breaker panels sized for the way you live and work today, from EV chargers to heat pumps and remodels.

What a panel upgrade includes

  • Subpanel installation and relocation to accessible, code-compliant locations
  • Load calculations before adding EV chargers, heat pumps or remodels
  • Permits, city inspection and utility meter release coordination
  • Clear, typed circuit labeling on every panel we install
Signs your panel needs attention
  • Breakers that trip again and again on the same circuit
  • A fuse box, or a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel
  • Warm breakers, scorch marks or a burning smell near the panel
  • You are adding an EV charger, hot tub, central AC or a major appliance
  • Your insurer or home inspector flagged the panel
  • The panel sits inside a closet or without proper working clearance
