What to know about Electrical Panel Upgrade
Panels get crowded as a home adds an air conditioner, a pool, a workshop or an EV charger. A panel that is full, hot to the touch or tripping under normal use is a sign the home has outgrown it.

“Even though the job was delayed due to the incorrect main box was not received on time it was delivered late the next morning and the job was completed by 2:30. Jonathan and his guys were very courteous, congenial and respectful in a manner in which a customer expects to be treated.”
