Questions

Panel upgrades: common questions.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

The work itself is usually done in a day. Utility scheduling and inspection can add time, and your quote spells out the schedule.

Will my power be off?

Yes, for part of the day while the panel is swapped. We tell you the window in advance.

How is pricing set?

We quote from the details you send, and visit the site first for larger jobs. You get the scope and price in writing before any work starts.

Do you take small jobs?

Yes. From a single new circuit or fixture to a full service upgrade.
