Panel upgrades for homes that outgrew their wiring
A 100-amp panel built for a 1970s house does not run a modern one. We replace undersized and obsolete panels with 200-amp service, pull the permit, coordinate the utility disconnect, and hand you a system with room to grow.

What's included
The process, start to finish
Load calculation
We measure what your home actually draws rather than guessing from square footage, then size the service to it with headroom for what you are planning next.
Permit and utility coordination
We pull the permit with your county and schedule the Duke Energy disconnect and reconnect. You do not make a single phone call.
Changeout day
Power is off for most of a working day. We set the new panel, re-land and label every circuit, and bring grounding and bonding up to current code.
Inspection and sign-off
The county inspector signs off, the utility reconnects, and you get the labeled panel schedule and the permit record for your file.
What a panel upgrade costs
Most Charlotte-area panel upgrades run $2,200–$4,500. The spread comes down to whether the meter base is being replaced, whether the service entrance cable needs to be re-run, and how far the panel sits from the meter. We walk the job and give you a firm written number before anything is scheduled.
