Is It Time for a Panel Upgrade?

An outdated panel isn't just an inconvenience; it can be a significant safety hazard. Look for these warning signs:

  • You Have a Fuse Box: Old fuse boxes lack the safety features of modern circuit breaker panels.
  • Breakers Trip Frequently: This is a clear sign your panel is overloaded by modern appliances.
  • Lights Flicker or Dim: When a large appliance like your HVAC or microwave kicks on, dimming lights indicate a strained system.
  • You Smell Burning or Hear Crackling: Shut off the main breaker and call us immediately. This is a serious fire risk.
  • You're Renovating or Adding Major Appliances: A kitchen remodel, a new hot tub, or an EV charger all require more power than an old panel can safely provide.

Our Panel Upgrade Process

Safety and precision are our top priorities. We handle the entire process from start to finish.

  1. System Evaluation: We perform a full load calculation to determine the correct panel size (e.g., 150-amp, 200-amp) for your home's current and future needs.
  2. Permitting & Coordination: We secure all necessary permits with Horry County or your local municipality and coordinate with the power company.
  3. Safe Removal & Installation: We safely disconnect your old panel, install the new, high-capacity breaker box, and connect all existing circuits with new, high-quality breakers.
  4. System Labeling & Testing: We clearly label every circuit for your convenience and conduct thorough testing to ensure everything is working perfectly and up to the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) standards.
