Many Dallas homes built before 1990 have 100-amp panels that can't handle modern appliances and electronics. Our upgrades to 200-amp service prevent breaker trips and reduce fire risks.
We assess your current usage patterns and future needs, especially important for homes adding EV chargers or smart home systems. The process includes securing permits, installing weatherproof outdoor panels (crucial for Texas storms), and thorough safety testing.
For historic properties in neighborhoods like Lake Highlands, we conceal new panels in basements or garages to maintain architectural integrity. All work meets Dallas city code requirements for insurance compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my panel needs upgrading?
Frequent breaker trips, buzzing sounds, or using power strips for basic needs indicate an overloaded panel. Homes with original 60-100 amp service should upgrade.
Will upgrading disrupt my power for long?
We typically complete panel replacements in 4-6 hours with only 1-2 hours of outage while transferring connections.
Do I need to upgrade for solar panel installation?
Yes, most solar installations require at least 200-amp service and a compatible panel for safe operation.
