Questions

Before we get started.

How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?

Signs you may need a panel upgrade include: tripping breakers, a panel over 20 years old, 100A or less service, or planning to add EV charging, pool equipment, or other large loads. We offer free assessments to evaluate your panel's capacity.

How long will I be without power during a panel upgrade?

Most panel upgrades require 4-8 hours without power. We schedule the work to minimize inconvenience and can coordinate with Austin Energy for same-day reconnection in most cases.
