SACRAMENTO & CALIFORNIA • CA LICENSE #990457 • 35+ YEARS UTILITY PEDIGREE
Don't let an overloaded 100-amp panel, nuisance breaker trips, or a recalled Zinsco / Federal Pacific box put your home at risk. Led by veteran electrician and system protection test technician Homer (35+ years with PG&E, Southern California Edison, LADWP & APS), we manage your entire panel upgrade—from NEC load calculations and city permits to utility shutoff and same-day power restoration.
Your main electrical panel is the heart of your home's power system. Most older California homes were built with 60-amp or 100-amp panels that were never engineered for modern air conditioning, EV chargers, induction cooking, and solar inverters.
Turnkey Panel Upgrade Scopes
Whether you need a like-for-like safety swap or a heavy-duty 200A/400A service entrance upgrade, we supply commercial-grade equipment, clean stucco/drywall patching coordination, and permanent circuit directory labeling.
Complete upgrade from an outdated 60A/100A service to a modern 200-amp solar-ready meter-main panel. Includes a new overhead weatherhead riser (or underground feed evaluation), dual 8-foot copper grounding rods, water and gas main bonding, whole-home surge protection, and full utility shutoff/reconnect coordination.
Fast, code-compliant replacement of recalled Zinsco, Sylvania, Federal Pacific (FPE Stab-Lok), Challenger, Pushmatic, and old screw-in fuse boxes. We install modern copper-bus load centers populated with responsive thermal-magnetic, AFCI, and GFCI breakers—plus signed completion documentation for your insurance underwriter or escrow officer.
Need more circuit spaces in your garage, workshop, kitchen remodel, or new Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)? We install 100A–125A indoor and outdoor subpanels, 320A/400A dual-subpanel estate services, main breaker replacements, and dedicated 240V feeders for EV chargers, solar batteries, spas, and heat pump HVAC systems.
Same-Day Cutover Protocol
Homeowners worry about losing power for days. Our disciplined 4-step process gets your old panel removed, your new panel inspected, and your refrigerator and Wi-Fi back online the very same afternoon.
We inspect your existing meter location, service drop clearances, grounding electrodes, and total connected wattage to give you a transparent, flat-rate written quote.
We pull the city or county electrical permit and coordinate the exact morning disconnect/reconnect window with PG&E, SMUD, Southern California Edison, or LADWP.
Our crew removes the old box, mounts the new 200A/400A enclosure, drives new copper ground rods, torques every busbar lug to factory spec, and dresses all circuits cleanly.
We verify voltage balance, polarity, and AFCI/GFCI trip response, print a clear circuit directory on the door, complete municipal inspection sign-off, and restore full power.
Homeowner Questions Answered
In almost all residential panel replacements, your power is only off for 4 to 7 hours on installation day. We arrive in the morning for utility disconnect, install and test your new panel, complete inspection, and restore power before the end of the afternoon.
Yes—100%. Never hire an unlicensed handyman to swap a main panel without a permit. As a licensed California C-10 contractor (License #990457), we handle all municipal permitting, utility service applications, meter pulls, grounding upgrades, and final inspector sign-offs on your behalf.
Yes. We recommend installing a 200-amp solar-ready main panel with a 225-amp rated busbar whenever upgrading a service entrance. It costs virtually the same upfront and ensures you never have to replace your panel again if you add rooftop solar, battery storage, or a second EV later.
Absolutely. After replacing a recalled Zinsco, Federal Pacific (FPE), Challenger, or fuse panel, we provide your itemized invoice, before-and-after photos of the new UL-listed breaker panel, and the signed municipal building permit card required by insurance underwriters.
