Panels & Service UpgradesPanel replacements and 200A service upgrades
If your panel is full, outdated or recalled, or you are adding an EV charger, hot tub or heat pump, a service upgrade is usually where the project starts. We size it right, pull the permit, and coordinate with Xcel Energy or your co-op.
What is included
- Full panel replacements, including Federal Pacific, Zinsco and Challenger panels
- 100A to 200A service upgrades with new meter socket and mast where needed
- Load calculations so the service fits what you plan to add
- Subpanels for garages, basements, shops and ADUs
- Grounding and bonding brought up to current code
- Utility disconnect and reconnect scheduling with Xcel Energy, CORE, IREA and others
- AFCI and GFCI protection where today's code calls for it
How we price it
After a walkthrough or a look at your plans, you get a written scope of work that lists what we will do, what is excluded, and one total price. Permit fees are shown at cost when they apply.
Common questions
How long does a panel replacement take?
Most residential panel swaps are done in one day. Power is off for part of that day while the utility disconnects and reconnects the service.
Do I need a permit?
Yes. Service and panel work in Colorado requires an electrical permit and inspection. We pull it and meet the inspector.
Can you tell me if I need 200 amps?
Yes. We run a load calculation based on your home and what you plan to add, then recommend the size that fits instead of guessing.
