Common questions
When should I upgrade my electrical panel?
If your panel is 60–100 amps, trips frequently, or you're adding major appliances, an upgrade is often needed for safety and capacity.
Can I do electrical work myself?
Simple swaps may be DIY, but wiring or panel work should be done by a licensed electrician for safety and code compliance.
