Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacement in Aurora
North Aurora ranches from the 1960s and 70s sit on aging 100-amp services with panels whose breaker lines were discontinued years ago. Farther south, from Southlands out to Tallyn's Reach, homes are newer and larger, with more air conditioning and a fast-growing share of electric vehicles. In the north that usually means replacing tired panels; in the south it is more often about adding capacity for EV charging and finished basements.
Housing stock we work on
1960s–1980s ranches and split-levels in the north and west, and 2000s-onward production homes with large square footage in the south and east.

What we run into in Aurora
Discontinued panel lines in older homes
A number of homes in the north carry panel brands no longer supported with new breakers. When a breaker fails, replacing the panel is usually the more practical path than hunting down salvaged parts.
Production-home panel placement
Many newer homes locate the panel in a garage corner with limited working clearance. We confirm code clearance and, when needed, relocate or add a subpanel closer to the load.
Homes here are usually overhead-fed with the panel in a basement, or underground-fed with the panel in the garage; either way, most single-panel replacements are back on the same day, and we confirm the expected outage window once the panel is open. Extras that move the price are typically a meter socket replacement, a 100-to-200-amp service upgrade, or load-management hardware for a second EV charger. See panel replacement for how pricing works.

FAQ
Panel questions from Aurora homeowners
Who permits panel work in Aurora?
The City of Aurora Building Division. We pull the permit, coordinate the utility disconnect and meet the inspector, and permit fees are itemized in your written quote.
Do you serve Centennial, Parker and Green Valley Ranch?
Yes, all three are inside our normal service area along with Southlands, Tallyn's Reach and Foxfield.
My breaker brand has been discontinued. Do I have to replace the whole panel?
Usually, and it is generally the more cost-effective path. Chasing salvaged breakers for an unsupported line can cost more and leaves you with equipment nobody stands behind.
