Professional electrical panel upgrades that handle today’s power demands without the safety risks of outdated systems.
Hear from Our Customers
You flip a switch and the lights come on. Your appliances run without dimming the house. Your circuit breakers stop tripping every time you use the microwave and dishwasher together.
That’s what happens when your electrical panel can actually handle what you’re asking it to do. Most homes in Preston Heights were built when we had fewer devices plugged in and smaller power demands. Now you’ve got smart TVs, gaming systems, electric vehicle chargers, and high-efficiency appliances that need more juice than your old panel was designed to provide.
An upgraded electrical panel gives you the capacity you need without the safety risks. No more flickering lights when the AC kicks on. No more choosing between using the dryer or the vacuum cleaner. Just reliable power that keeps up with how you actually live.
We’ve been handling emergency electrical repairs and panel upgrades in Preston Heights for over two decades. We’re the team homeowners call when their electrical system isn’t keeping up with their needs.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, which means you’re protected and the work is done right. Our electricians specialize in the kind of urgent electrical issues that can’t wait—like panels that are overloaded, circuits that keep tripping, and systems that need immediate attention for safety reasons.
Preston Heights homeowners trust us because we understand that electrical problems don’t happen at convenient times. We’re equipped to handle everything from adding circuits for EV chargers to complete panel replacements that bring your home up to modern safety standards.
First, we assess your current panel and calculate your home’s electrical load. We look at what you’re using now, what you plan to add, and what capacity you actually need. Most Preston Heights homes benefit from upgrading to 200-amp service, but we size it based on your specific situation.
Next, we handle the permits and coordinate with your utility company for the temporary power disconnect. We remove your old panel and install the new one, upgrading the main breaker, adding circuits as needed, and ensuring everything meets current electrical codes.
The final step is inspection and reconnection. A local inspector verifies the work meets safety standards, then your utility company restores power. The whole process typically takes 6-8 hours, and you’re back to full power the same day. We clean up completely and walk you through your new panel so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Your electrical panel upgrade includes the new panel itself, properly sized for your home’s needs—typically 200 amps for most Preston Heights residences. We install new circuit breakers, upgrade the main breaker switch, and add circuits as needed for modern appliances and EV chargers.
We handle all the permit paperwork and coordinate with ComEd for the power disconnect and reconnection. The installation includes proper grounding, updated wiring where necessary, and full compliance with current electrical codes. Everything is labeled clearly so you know which breaker controls what.
Preston Heights homes built before 1980 often need additional work to bring the electrical system up to code. This might include upgrading the meter socket, adding GFCI protection, or installing new grounding systems. We identify these needs upfront so there are no surprises, and we offer military, first responder, senior, teacher, and student discounts to make the upgrade more affordable.
