The electric panel directs the flow of electricity throughout your home and is the most important asset in your electrical system.
The two primary motivations to change or upgrade your old fuse box or existing electrical breaker panel are safety & space.
These could be independent issues, or one could be causing another. For example, a space issue could spur a safety concern.
Our skilled electricians can wire all of your electrical needs. From replacing a fuse box with an electrical panel to upgrading an existing main breaker service.
