Main Panel Upgrades

Older Homes

Are your breakers overheating? Is your power often going out as you plug in a device? Sometimes older homes don’t have sufficient power needed for our increased demands on electricity. You may need to upgrade your home’s old electrical service with a new panel (complete with new breakers, wiring, and grounding).

More Electrical Demands

Your home’s main panel breaks up the power supply down to branch circuits so that you can operate appliances and technological devices in rooms through out your home. These days, we are requiring more electrical power when we use our computers, appliances, EV chargers, pool heaters, AC, solar PV system, and many other devices. With your added electrical demands, you may need to upgrade your home’s electrical service.

Preparing for Solar

As more Californians rely on solar energy to power their homes and offices, many homeowners will need to upgrade their main electrical panels prior to their solar PV installation and commissioning.
