Electrical panel upgrades across Salt Lake and Utah counties

A panel is the one part of a house's electrical system that everything else depends on. Most panels are replaced for one of two reasons: the house has run out of room for new circuits, or the equipment in the panel has reached the end of its life.

What the work involves

What is actually in thereAmperage, breaker type, condition of the bus and the service coming in. A photo of the label and the inside gets you a real answer quickly.
Capacity for what is comingSized for the basement, the hot tub and the charger you are planning, not just for today.
Utility coordinationWhere the service itself has to change, that involves the power company and it changes the timeline. We tell you up front.
Permit and inspectionPanel work always needs one. Issued by your city and inspected before it is closed up.
Labeled properlyEvery breaker marked for what it actually controls, which is worth more than it sounds the first time something trips.

Common questions

How do I know if my panel needs upgrading in Salt Lake and Utah counties?

The usual signs are no space left for new breakers, breakers that trip under normal load, scorch marks or a burning smell, or a panel brand with a known history. If you are adding a basement, a hot tub or an EV charger, capacity is the question to ask first.

Does a panel upgrade need a permit here?

Yes. Panel and service work always requires a permit, issued by your city, and it gets inspected. Unpermitted panel work is the kind of thing that surfaces at closing.

How long does it take?

Most panel changes are a day with the power off for part of it. If the utility has to be involved in the service itself, that adds scheduling time outside our control.
