Electrical Panel Upgrades
More power, safer breakers, room for what comes next.
Older homes around Albemarle and Charlotte were wired for a few lights and a refrigerator, not for HVAC, an EV charger, a hot tub and a kitchen full of appliances. When the panel is maxed out you get tripping breakers, warm cover plates and no free slots for new circuits.
We replace fuse boxes, Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, and undersized services with a new panel sized for your home. Every job is permitted and inspected, and we coordinate the utility disconnect so you are without power for as little time as possible.
What's included
- Load calculation so the new service is sized correctly
- 100A to 200A service upgrades and panel replacements
- Fuse box and recalled panel (FPE, Zinsco) replacement
- Sub-panels for garages, workshops and additions
- Whole-home surge protection at the panel
- Permit, inspection and utility coordination handled for you
Common questions
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential upgrades are done in one day. Power is typically off for 4 to 6 hours while the new panel is installed and inspected.
Do I need a permit?
Yes. Panel work requires a permit and inspection in North Carolina. We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
Do I need 200 amps?
Not always. We run a load calculation first and recommend the size that fits how your home is actually used, with room to grow.
