Signs Your Panel Needs An Upgrade

A panel that is undersized or deteriorating can create nuisance trips and real hazards. Plan ahead with an inspection that documents risk for permits and future loads. Less guesswork, more control.

Overloaded Circuits

When loads outgrow capacity, breakers trip and heat builds where you cannot see it.

Safety Risk

Random Shutoffs

Intermittent outages can indicate loose terminations that worsen under heavy demand.

Reliability

Insurance Concerns

Documented, code-focused upgrades help reduce coverage questions after an electrical incident.

Planning

EV Or Remodel

Major additions need right-sized service so you are not forced into rushed changes later.

Future-Proof

Electronics Damage
