PANEL REPLACEMENTS

OUT WITH THE FUSE BOX.

Older panels were never built for modern loads. We replace them with safe, modern breaker panels sized for decades of growth.

  • Fuse-to-Breaker Conversion: Replace outdated fuse boxes with safe, modern breaker panels.

  • 100A to 200A Upgrades: More capacity for HVAC, EV charging, and modern appliances.

  • Panel Relocations: Move panels to fit remodeled layouts and code clearance requirements.

  • Sub-Panel Installation: Dedicated capacity for garages, ADUs, and workshops.

  • Main Service Entrances: Full main service entrance replacements and upgrades.

LOAD PLANNING

SIZED FOR WHAT'S NEXT.

Engineered load planning ensures your panel handles today's demand and tomorrow's additions.

  • Load Calculations: Engineered load planning to ensure long-term capacity.

  • EV-Ready Sizing: Panels prepped for Level 2 charging without a second upgrade later.

  • Solar & Battery Prep: Capacity and breaker space reserved for solar and home batteries.

  • Dedicated Circuits: For ovens, dryers, spas, and high-draw equipment.

  • Room to Grow: Breaker space reserved so growth never means another new panel.

SAFETY & CODE

SAFE. INSPECTED. CERTIFIED.

Every panel install meets NEC code requirements with full permits and inspections.

  • Permits & Inspections: We pull permits and coordinate directly with city inspectors.

  • Utility Coordination: Direct coordination with utilities for meter upgrades and shutoffs.

  • AFCI & GFCI Protection: Modern breakers that protect against arc faults and shock.

  • Grounding & Bonding: Brought fully up to current code on every job.

  • Labeled & Documented: Every circuit mapped, labeled, and photographed for your records.

TROUBLE SIGNS

KNOW THE WARNINGS.

Panels rarely fail without warning. We diagnose the symptoms before they become outages.

  • Tripping Breakers: Diagnose and resolve overloaded or failing circuits.

  • Flickering Lights: Find the root cause behind dimming and inconsistent lighting.

  • Warm Panels & Buzzing: Thermal imaging detects hot spots and overloads before they fail.

  • Recalled Panels: Zinsco and Federal Pacific replacements that remove known fire risks.

  • Aging Wiring: Aluminum-to-copper replacement where it matters most.

COMMERCIAL PANELS

BUILT FOR BUSINESS.

Growing your business means growing your electrical capacity, from main entrance to sub-panel.

  • Commercial Capacity Upgrades: Panel capacity upgrades sized to your operation.

  • Three-Phase Service: Distributed power for warehouses and multi-suite buildings.

  • Tenant Metering: Sub-metering and panel splits for multi-tenant properties.

  • Maintenance Programs: Scheduled inspections that catch problems before they become outages.

  • Minimal Downtime: After-hours cutovers that keep your business running.

Quick Diagnosis

DOES YOUR PANEL NEED REPLACING?

REPLACE NOW

A Federal Pacific or Zinsco label inside the door. Documented fire risk, and many insurers surcharge or decline them.

REPLACE NOW

Fuses instead of breakers. Your electrical system predates the technology that keeps modern homes safe.

PLAN FOR IT

100-amp service and an EV, AC upgrade, or ADU in your plans. You will hit the ceiling, upgrade on your schedule, not during a crisis.

PLAN FOR IT

Every breaker slot is full and you need new circuits. A sub-panel or upgrade beats doubling up wires.

YOU'RE FINE

A 200-amp panel with open slots, labeled breakers, and no warmth or buzzing. You have capacity for years.

YOU'RE FINE

A breaker that trips during a storm and resets clean. That is the system doing its job once, not failing.

Uncommon Sense

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Good To Know

A breaker that keeps tripping is doing its job. It is telling you the circuit is overloaded, not that you need a bigger breaker.

Good To Know

Yes, panel work requires a permit. We pull it and meet the inspector so you never have to.

Good To Know

Most homes built before 1990 have 100-amp service. An EV, an AC unit, and a modern kitchen can max that out.

Good To Know

Insurance companies can deny claims tied to known-hazard panels like Federal Pacific. Replacing one often pays for itself.
