Is your electrical panel keeping up with your power needs?
Outdated or damaged panels are a leading cause of electrical issues in Minnesota homes and businesses. If your lights flicker, breakers trip randomly, or you’re increasing your power demands, your current panel may be due for an upgrade. Many homes built in the south metro before 1990 still rely on an outdated 100-amp service. These panels can struggle to support today's electrical loads from modern appliances, heating systems, and EV chargers. These issues can lead to nuisance tripping, overheating, or even fire hazards, especially if your panel still uses fuses.
Whether you need a simple repair or a complete upgrade, we offer comprehensive electrical panel services near you. Our licensed electricians will inspect your system, diagnose the issue, and recommend the safest and most cost-effective option—whether that means replacing your panel, upgrading your service, or making targeted repairs. We also handle all permitting and inspections to ensure full code compliance, and every job is backed by our lifetime craftsmanship guarantee.
Common signs you might need an electrical panel upgrade.
We often see the same red flags during inspections. If you’re noticing any of these, it's important for a licensed electrician to take a look before it becomes a bigger issue:
- Frequent breaker trips or flickering lights
- Your panel still uses fuses instead of breakers
- A burning or fishy smell or buzzing sound near the panel
- Limited room for new circuits
- You’re adding high-powered appliances or systems (EV charger, hot tub, HVAC, etc.)
What we offer
✅ Full electrical panel upgrades & replacements
We replace outdated panels with modern, high-capacity systems designed to handle today’s power demands. This includes installing a new panel, breakers, and full code-compliance updates.
⚡ Electrical service upgrades/change outs
Need more than just a new panel? A full service upgrade increases the total electricity your home can receive from the utility. This is common when upgrading from 100 amps to 200 amps or higher. We’ll upgrade your panel, meter socket, and main service line, all with proper permits.
➕ Sub panel installation
If your main panel still has life left but you're adding a new space or system (like a basement, hot tub, or EV charger), a sub panel is a smart and cost-effective way to expand your capacity.
Still have a Federal Pacific panel? It might be time to replace it.
If your home has a Federal Pacific panel, we strongly recommend a replacement. These panels have a long history of safety issues. It's estimated that they may be responsible for 2,800 fires, 13 deaths, and $40 million in property damage every year, according to the Columbus Fire Department. Because of these risks, some insurance companies may refuse coverage or even cancel policies if you have a Federal Pacific panel. To reduce these risks and improve safety, we can replace your Federal Pacific panel with a modern, code-compliant panel that helps protect your property and keeps your coverage in place.

Got questions? We have answers
Do I need an electrical panel upgrade, replacement, or just a repair?
It depends on the condition of your current panel and your power needs. If your panel is outdated, overheating, too small for your electrical load, or causing frequent issues, an upgrade or full replacement is often the safest option. On the other hand, if the panel itself is in good shape and the issue is limited to something like a faulty breaker, a repair may be all you need. Our licensed electricians will evaluate your system and recommend the most practical and cost-effective solution.
How do I know if my panel is outdated or unsafe?
Look for signs like frequent tripping, burnt smells, buzzing sounds, or a panel that still uses fuses. If your home was built more than 30 years ago and hasn’t been upgraded, your panel may no longer meet safety standards. Also, if your home has a Federal Pacific panel, we strongly recommend a replacement, as these panels have a long history of safety issues. In fact, some insurance companies may refuse coverage or even cancel policies if you have a Federal Pacific panel.
When do I need a service upgrade/change out?
You’ll need a service upgrade if your current electrical capacity isn’t enough to support your home or business. This is common when adding major appliances, EV chargers, hot tubs, or heat pumps. It’s also common for Minnesota homes built prior to 1990 to still rely on an outdated 100-amp service. Upgrading ensures your property can safely handle increased power demands and doesn’t violate any electrical codes near you.
