Panel upgrades in Columbus
A panel with room to grow and breakers you can trust.
The panel decides how much your house can run. Older 60 and 100 amp services weren't built for an EV charger, a heat pump and an induction range on top of everything else. We replace worn-out panels, upgrade services to 200 amps, and add subpanels where a garage or addition needs its own.
A service upgrade takes a permit and an inspection, and the utility has to cut and restore power at the meter. We line all of that up and tell you ahead of time how long the power will be off, which is usually most of one working day.
What's included
- 100 to 200 amp service upgrades

How do I know if I need a bigger panel?
We run a load calculation, which adds up what the house draws now and what you want to add. Sometimes the answer is a 200 amp upgrade. Sometimes there's capacity to spare and you only need a few new circuits or a subpanel. We'll show you the math.
Are some old panels unsafe?
A few brands from past decades have a known history of breakers that fail to trip, Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco among them. If your panel carries one of those names, or you see rust, scorch marks or melted plastic, have it looked at. Don't take the cover off yourself.
