Electrical panel installation, upgrades and replacement
The panel itself: replacements, 100 to 200 amp service upgrades, new installs, subpanels and fuse box conversions. This is the work our crews do every day of the week, across the Denver metro and the Front Range.
Panel services
Five jobs, one piece of equipment
Every circuit in your house passes through the panel, which is why we would rather be the crew that only has to get this right.
Panel Replacement & Service Upgrades
Replacing a worn, obsolete or flagged panel, raising a 100-amp service to 200 amps, and setting new panels where a home never had the capacity to begin with.
- — Panel replacement at the same size, or an upgrade to 200 amps
- — Obsolete, corroded and heat-damaged equipment replaced
- — Load calculation before a breaker size is committed to
Fuse Box Replacement
Old screw-in fuse boxes converted to a modern breaker panel, the job insurers and lenders keep asking Denver homeowners to take care of.
- — Screw-in and cartridge fuse boxes converted to breakers
- — A written price before anything is scheduled
- — Documentation for your insurer or lender at closeout
Subpanel Installation
Extra circuits where you need them: a detached garage, a finished basement, a shop, an addition or an ADU, fed properly from the main service.
- — Detached garage, shop, ADU and addition feeds
- — Load calculation before anything is quoted
- — Trenching, conduit and grounding at the structure
Which job is yours?
Homeowners rarely call us knowing the name of the work they need, and that is fine. Here is the short version of how a tech sorts it out at the panel, so you know what to expect before anyone shows up.
Whatever the answer turns out to be, you get it in writing with a fixed price. If the honest answer is that your panel is fine for another five years, that is what we will tell you.
- Panel is full, but the equipment is sound: a subpanel adds circuits without touching the service.
- Panel works, but 100 amps will not carry what you are adding: an upgrade to 200 amps is the job.
- Panel is rusted, obsolete, recalled or overheating: a replacement is the honest answer.
- House still runs on fuses: a conversion to breakers, usually at 200 amps while we are in there.
- New structure, addition or ADU with no service of its own: a new panel installation.
Permits and inspection
Handled the same way on every job
Panel work is inspected work. We pull the permit, coordinate the utility disconnect, meet the inspector and close the permit out, and the fees are in the quote you approved.
FAQ
What homeowners ask about panel work
How do I know whether I need a repair, an upgrade or a full replacement?
A tech opens the panel and looks at the busbar, the breakers, the service conductors and the grounding, then runs a load calculation on what you are planning to add. Most of the time the equipment tells us plainly which of the three it is, and we show you photos of what we saw.
Do all of these jobs need a permit?
Any work that changes the panel or the service does. We pull the permit with your jurisdiction, coordinate the Xcel disconnect where one is needed, meet the inspector and close the permit out. Permit fees are stated in your written quote.
How long is the power off?
Most single-panel replacements are back on the same day. We give you the expected outage window before the crew arrives so you can plan around it.
Is financing available on panel work?
Yes. Panel work tends to arrive unplanned, so we offer monthly payment options alongside the written fixed price.
