What we handle

Panel and service work we do

Your panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. We start with what your home actually needs today and what you're planning next, then recommend the right-sized solution — not the biggest one.

Panel replacement & 200A service upgrades

When an older panel can't keep up with today's appliances, heating and cooling, or a new addition, we size the new service to your home, install it cleanly and label every circuit so you know exactly what's what.

Smart panels & load centers

Smart load centers let you see and manage how your home uses power. We'll tell you straight whether one makes sense for your home or whether a standard panel is the better value.

Sub-panels

Adding a garage, workshop, addition or finished basement? A sub-panel puts circuits where you need them without overcrowding your main panel.

Surge protection

A surge protector installed at the panel helps protect the electronics and appliances throughout your home from damaging voltage spikes. It can go in during a panel upgrade or as its own job.

Load calculations before you add more

Planning an EV charger, heat pump, hot tub or addition? A load calculation shows whether your current panel can handle it, so you only upgrade when you actually need to.

Know the signs

Signs your panel may need an upgrade

  • Breakers trip often or there's no room left for new circuits
  • The panel is original to an older home
  • You're adding an EV charger, hot tub, heat pump or addition
  • Lights dim when large appliances start
  • The panel is warm, buzzing, rusted or shows scorch marks
  • Circuits are unlabeled or labeled wrong

Questions

Electrical Panel Upgrades FAQs

Still unsure? Call our Arden office and we'll walk you through it in plain English.

How do I know my panel needs an upgrade?

Frequent tripping, no open spaces for new circuits, dimming lights when appliances start, or a panel that's warm, buzzing or corroded are the common signs. Planning a big new load, like an EV charger or addition, is another reason to have it checked.

What is a smart panel?

A smart panel or smart load center lets you monitor and manage how power is used in your home, often from an app. It isn't the right fit for every home, and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it for yours.

Do I need a bigger panel for an EV charger?

Not always. A load calculation shows whether your existing panel has room. If it does, we add a dedicated circuit; if it doesn't, we'll explain the options, including a panel upgrade.

Do you add surge protection?

Yes. Surge protection can be added at the panel during an upgrade or as a separate job.

Is financing available?

Yes. Flexible monthly payment options are available for panel and service upgrades. Financing is provided by third-party lending partners and is subject to credit approval.
