Hear from Our Customers
Your lights stop flickering when you start the microwave. Your breakers quit tripping every time you run multiple appliances. You can charge your devices, run your HVAC system, and power your home theater without constantly worrying about overloading your electrical system.
That’s what happens when you upgrade from an outdated 100-amp panel to a modern 200-amp system. You get the capacity your home actually needs, not what it had when it was built decades ago. Your appliances run more efficiently, your family stays safer, and you stop playing electrical roulette every time you flip a switch.
Modern electrical panels don’t just handle today’s power demands—they’re built for whatever comes next. Whether that’s an electric vehicle charger in your garage or smart home technology throughout your house.
We’ve been handling emergency electrical repairs and panel upgrades in Frankfort for over two decades. We’ve seen every type of electrical problem this area throws at homeowners—from aging Federal Pacific panels that should have been replaced years ago to undersized systems struggling with modern appliances.
What sets us apart is our focus on residential electrical emergencies. While other contractors spread themselves thin across commercial and residential work, we specialize in the electrical issues that keep homeowners up at night. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, with the experience to handle everything from simple circuit additions to complete electrical service upgrades.
Frankfort homeowners know they can count on us when their electrical system isn’t keeping up with their needs.
First, we’ll assess your current panel and electrical usage to determine the right amperage for your home. Most Frankfort homes need either a 150-amp or 200-amp upgrade, depending on square footage and appliance load.
Next comes the installation itself. We’ll coordinate with ComEd to temporarily disconnect your power, remove your old panel, and install the new breaker box with updated wiring as needed. The entire process typically takes 4-8 hours for a standard residential upgrade.
Finally, we’ll test every circuit to ensure proper operation and walk you through your new panel’s features. You’ll know exactly which breakers control what areas of your home, and we’ll explain any new safety features like AFCI or GFCI breakers that protect against electrical fires and shock hazards.
The power comes back on, and you immediately notice the difference in how your electrical system handles your daily power needs.

Every electrical panel upgrade includes the new breaker box, updated main breaker, new circuit breakers for each circuit, and professional installation that meets current electrical codes. We’ll also upgrade your meter socket if needed and ensure proper grounding for safety.
In Frankfort, many homes built in the 1980s and 1990s still have 100-amp service that’s simply not enough for today’s electrical demands. Between high-efficiency HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, home offices, and entertainment systems, the average Frankfort home uses significantly more power than these older panels were designed to handle.
That’s why most upgrades involve moving from 100-amp to 200-amp service. This gives you plenty of capacity for current needs plus room for future additions like electric vehicle charging or home additions. The upgrade also includes modern safety features that weren’t available when your original panel was installed.
