Common questions

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most residential panel swaps are done in one day. Power is off for part of that day while the new panel goes in and the utility reconnects service.

Is a 100A panel enough?

It depends on your home's size and what runs on electricity. We do a load calculation before recommending an upgrade.

Lost power or smell burning?
