What panel and breaker upgrades do we provide?

Every job below comes with upfront pricing and our satisfaction guarantee.

Main panel & service upgrades

If your home still runs on a 100 A panel — or worse, a fuse box — every new appliance is a gamble. We replace the panel, service entrance and grounding in one visit, sized for how your household actually uses power.

From $1,900 for a 200 A panel swap1 day of work — power back on by dinner
  • Load calculation first, so you buy the capacity you need
  • Permit, utility coordination and final inspection handled

Breaker replacement & tripping fixes

A breaker that trips weekly isn't "just sensitive" — it's doing its job on an overloaded circuit, or it's worn out and due for replacement. We find out which one it is before swapping any parts.

From $150 per standard breaker, installedFrom $240 for AFCI / dual-function breakers

Subpanels for garages, shops & additions

A subpanel puts breakers where the load lives — garage workshop, backyard studio, basement suite — so one table saw doesn't dim the kitchen. We run the feeder, mount the panel and label every circuit.

From $900 for a 100 A subpanel, installed
  • Sized with room to grow — add an EV charger or mini-split later without rework
  • Buried or overhead feeder runs to detached buildings

Whole-home surge protection

One Type 2 surge protector at the panel shields everything downstream — HVAC boards, the induction range, the TV and every charger in the house — from utility spikes and nearby lightning strikes.

From $350 installed at the panel
Code note: since NEC 2020, surge protection is required whenever a service panel is replaced. We build it into every upgrade quote instead of springing it on you later.

Circuit tracing & thermal inspections

Loose lugs and overloaded circuits show up as heat long before they show up as failures. We scan your panel with a thermal camera, torque every connection and map circuits to a legend that finally matches reality.

Free diagnostics whenever we do the repair
  • Annual maintenance plans for landlords and small businesses
  • Written report you can hand to your insurer or a home buyer

Booked them for a dead outlet and they came out the next day. Friendly, professional and no mess left behind — the outlet has worked perfectly ever since.
