Our Services

Panel upgrades and electrical capacity solutions tailored to Charleston homes and businesses.

Residential Panel Upgrades

Charleston homes built before 2000 often have 100-amp panels that can't handle modern appliances, AC upgrades, or electric vehicle chargers. We upgrade to 200-amp or higher capacity so your home handles everything safely.

Neighborhoods like the Historic District and West Ashley frequently need upgrades due to older construction. We coordinate with local inspectors to ensure all work meets code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about electrical panel upgrades in Charleston.

Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Charleston?

Yes, Charleston requires a permit for any panel work. We handle the permit application, inspection coordination, and all paperwork so your upgrade is legal and documented.

How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?

Will my power go out during the panel upgrade?

We work to minimize outages. Some power may be temporarily unavailable during final connections and inspection, but we coordinate the work to reduce disruption. We'll discuss timing options when you call.

Can you upgrade my panel if I'm adding an EV charger?

Yes. EV chargers require dedicated circuits and usually a panel upgrade. We'll size both the panel and the charger circuit to your vehicle and home's electrical capacity to avoid overload.

Is a panel upgrade necessary for a home sale in Charleston?

If an inspection reveals an outdated or unsafe panel, it may be required for financing approval or insurance. We upgrade panels to meet all code requirements and pass inspection for resale.
