Your electrical panel is the control center of your entire electrical system, distributing power to every circuit and protecting them from overloads. When a panel is undersized, aging, or damaged, the risks range from breakers that trip constantly to genuine fire and shock hazards. Our licensed electricians handle the full range of panel work, from a single breaker replacement to a complete service upgrade from 100 to 200 amps. Every job is performed to National Electrical Code standards, with permits pulled through the correct authority and the utility coordinated wherever a service upgrade is needed. We do not consider a panel job finished until the inspection has passed and you have the documentation in hand.
Built to Pass Inspection
Every panel job is performed with code-compliant materials, filed permits, and a final inspection — not just a finished installation. We coordinate directly with your utility provider on any service upgrade requiring a meter pull, and we provide documentation of the passed inspection for your records once the job is complete.
What Electrical Panel Work Covers
From a single breaker swap to a full 200-amp service upgrade, here is what panel work involves.
A panel upgrade replaces an outdated panel with a unit rated for greater capacity. A circuit breaker replacement addresses one faulty breaker without touching the rest of the panel. Panel installation covers new construction and additions. Panel repair fixes internal damage or loose connections. Subpanel installation adds a secondary panel for a garage, workshop, or large addition.
Signs You Need Service
Breakers tripping under normal loads, lights flickering when appliances run, a burning smell or discoloration near the panel, or a panel that feels warm to the touch all signal a problem. Panels over 25 to 30 years old, especially Federal Pacific or Zinsco models, carry documented failure risks regardless of symptoms.
Why Permits and Inspections Matter
Panel work is among the most risk-sensitive electrical jobs available. Improperly installed panels can pass a visual check but create dangerous conditions months later, including arc faults and overloaded neutral bars. Permits are legally required for replacements and upgrades in nearly every jurisdiction, and unpermitted work creates serious problems at resale or with insurance. We pull every required permit, coordinate the utility meter pull on service upgrades, and ensure the job passes final inspection before we call it done.
A load calculation determines what your home actually needs based on current and planned electrical use — not just how many open breaker slots remain. Homeowners planning an EV charger, hot tub, or addition often discover their existing capacity has no safe headroom left. We walk through the load calculation with you before recommending any specific service, so the scope matches your actual need.
