Electrical Panel Upgrades

Upgrading your electrical panel is a critical step in ensuring that your home can handle the growing demands of modern electrical appliances, including the integration of solar energy solutions. With an increasing number of homeowners opting for solar energy, having an efficient, up-to-date electrical panel is vital. This page delves into the details of our electrical panel upgrade service, explaining the process, addressing common customer concerns, and highlighting how we stand apart from the competition.


When you choose to upgrade your electrical panel with us, the process begins with a comprehensive assessment of your existing electrical system. Our certified technicians will evaluate your current panel, identifying any potential deficiencies or safety issues. This evaluation includes checking the amperage rating of your panel, ensuring it aligns with your home’s power needs, especially considering any future solar installations and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.


Once our assessment is complete, we will propose an appropriate upgrade solution tailored to your specific needs. Most homes today benefit from panels rated at 200 amps or higher, especially if they are equipped with solar systems or other high-demand appliances. We’ll take care of any necessary permits and codes, ensuring compliance with local regulations in Utah.


After discussing our findings and your options, the upgrade process is initiated. Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved:


1. Preparation: Our team will schedule a convenient time for the panel upgrade. Prior to the installation, we will inform you of any preparations needed, such as clearing the area around the panel or temporarily disconnecting certain appliances.

2. Power Shutdown: To ensure safety, we will shut off power to your home during the upgrade. We understand that being without power can be inconvenient, so we strive to minimize this downtime.

3. Panel Removal: Our technicians will carefully remove your existing electrical panel, ensuring that all wiring is properly managed.

4. New Panel Installation: We will install the new electrical panel, connecting the wires and integrating any existing systems. Special attention is given to solar connection points, ensuring seamless integration for your future solar power needs.

5. Testing: Once installed, we conduct thorough testing to ensure that the new panel operates correctly and meets all safety standards.

6. Power Restoration: After successful testing, we restore power to your home, walking you through the new panel's features and safety elements.
