Direct answers

Questions homeowners ask before moving forward

Clear answers help you decide whether the next step is a fit. Project-specific facts are confirmed during review and documented before work begins.

Do I automatically need a 200-amp panel?
Not always. We perform a load calculation based on your current and planned electrical equipment to determine the safest and most cost-effective capacity.
How long will the power be off?
A planned outage is required during the upgrade. We coordinate with the utility company to keep this downtime as brief as possible, typically a few hours.
Can a panel upgrade be done before an EV charger or remodel?
Yes. It's best to upgrade your panel early so it's ready to handle the new circuits when the renovation or installation begins.
Will the circuits be clearly labeled?
Yes. We trace and label the circuits accurately so you can easily identify what each breaker controls.
Does a panel upgrade require a permit?
Yes, electrical panel replacements require municipal permits and inspections, which we handle for you.

What does your home need more power for?

Tell us about the current panel and the EV charger, generator, remodel, HVAC, appliance, or other improvement driving the request.
