What You Get With Us

Every electrical panel upgrade includes a full assessment of your home’s electrical needs, proper permitting, and coordination with ComEd for safe power disconnection and reconnection.

Many homes in Inverness were built in the 1980s and 1990s with 100-amp panels that can’t handle today’s electrical demands. Modern homes typically need 200-amp service for things like electric vehicle chargers, home additions, or upgraded HVAC systems.

We handle the entire process from start to finish, including pulling permits and scheduling inspections. You get a panel that meets current electrical codes and can actually power your home the way you need it to work.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?

If your breakers trip frequently, lights flicker when you turn on appliances, or you can’t run multiple devices without losing power, your panel is likely undersized for your electrical needs.Other signs include burning smells near your electrical panel, warm or discolored outlets, or if your panel still uses fuses instead of circuit breakers. Most homes built before 2000 have 100-amp panels that struggle with modern electrical demands.You’ll also need an upgrade if you’re adding an electric vehicle charger, finishing a basement, or installing a hot tub – these all require more electrical capacity than older panels can provide.

How long does an electrical panel upgrade take to complete?

Most residential electrical panel upgrades take 4-8 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of your home’s wiring and whether any additional electrical work is needed.The actual installation happens in one day, but you’ll need to coordinate with your utility company for power disconnection and reconnection. We handle scheduling this for you, but it can add a day or two to the overall timeline.If your home needs significant rewiring or if we discover code violations that need to be addressed, the project might take longer. We’ll let you know upfront if we find anything that will extend the timeline.

What's the difference between 100-amp and 200-amp electrical panels?

A 100-amp panel can handle about 24,000 watts of electrical load, while a 200-amp panel can handle 48,000 watts. Most modern homes need 200-amp service to run everything safely.With a 100-amp panel, you might be able to run your air conditioning or your electric dryer, but not both at the same time without tripping breakers. A 200-amp panel gives you the capacity to run all your appliances simultaneously.If you’re planning to add an electric vehicle charger, pool equipment, or a home addition, you’ll almost certainly need 200-amp service. The upgrade also increases your home’s value and makes it more attractive to potential buyers.

Do I need permits for electrical panel replacement in Inverness?

Yes, electrical panel upgrades require permits in Inverness, and the work must be inspected by the village to ensure it meets current electrical codes.We handle pulling the permits for you as part of our service. The permit process typically takes a few days, and we’ll schedule the required inspections once the work is complete.Working without permits can create problems when you try to sell your home, and insurance companies may not cover damage from unpermitted electrical work. That’s why we always do things the right way with proper permits and inspections.

How much does electrical panel upgrade cost in Inverness?

Electrical panel upgrades in Inverness typically cost between $2,500 and $5,000, depending on the size of the upgrade and the complexity of your home’s electrical system.The cost includes the new panel, labor, permits, and coordination with ComEd for power disconnection. If your home needs additional electrical work like new wiring or grounding updates, that will add to the total cost.We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work. We also offer discounts for military personnel, first responders, seniors, teachers, and students.

Can you upgrade my electrical panel during a power outage?

We can’t upgrade your electrical panel during a power outage because the work requires coordinated power disconnection and reconnection with your utility company.However, if you’re experiencing frequent outages due to an overloaded panel, we can schedule an emergency upgrade to prevent future problems. We understand that electrical issues can’t always wait for convenient timing.For true electrical emergencies like burning smells, sparks, or immediate safety concerns, we provide 24/7 emergency service to make your home safe until we can schedule the full panel upgrade.
