Electrical Panels & Meter Bases

Panels are the one part of the house most people never look at until something's wrong. We repair them, replace them, and upgrade them — and we handle the permit and the inspection so you don't have to call the county yourself.

What’s included

  • Permits and inspections handled for you
  • Panel testing and capacity assessment
  • Surge protector consultation
  • Meter base work
  • New services

How It Works

From call to done

  1. Tell us what it’s doing

    Call, or send a request with what you’re seeing — tripping breakers, dimming lights, no room for another circuit.

  2. We assess it, honestly

    Sometimes a panel needs work. Sometimes it doesn’t. We’ll tell you which, and give you a free estimate either way.

  3. Old panel out, new panel in

    If it needs replacing, we pull the permit and schedule the inspection ourselves — you don’t have to.

  4. Every circuit labeled

    Before we leave, the panel is labeled so the next person who opens that door — including you — knows what’s what.

Worth Knowing

How to tell if yours needs a look

A panel doesn't usually announce itself. Here's the honest way to think about it: breakers that trip for no reason are worth a call, but not automatically a new panel. No room left for a circuit you actually need — a car charger, a hot tub, a shop — is a capacity conversation. Rust, heat, or a burning smell at the panel means stop reading and call.

We assess it and give you our honest feedback. Sometimes the answer is that it’s fine and your money is better spent somewhere else.

Questions

Quick answers

Can you tell me if my panel needs replacing?

We can assess it and give you our honest feedback. Sometimes the answer is that it is fine and you should spend the money elsewhere.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes, on panel work we handle the permits and the inspections. You do not have to call the county.

Do you charge for an estimate?

We provide free estimates. A free estimate does not include any work that may be performed — if we can fix it on the spot, that becomes a separate conversation before anything gets done.
