FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a panel upgrade and a service change?+
A panel upgrade replaces the breaker box inside, while a service change also updates the meter, mast, weatherhead, and grounding from the utility connection in. Larger loads often need a full service change.
Do I need a service upgrade for an EV charger?+
Often yes. EV chargers pull significant power, and older service may not have the capacity. We evaluate your current service and upgrade it if needed so the charger runs safely.
Who coordinates with the power company?+
We do. We handle the utility disconnect and reconnect scheduling so your downtime is minimal and everything stays to code.
How do I know if my service is overloaded?+
Frequent breaker trips, dimming lights, or a warm panel are common signs. If you are planning to add major appliances, it is worth having your service evaluated first.
