Good to know

Signs your panel needs attention

Breakers trip often

A panel that is out of capacity trips as you add modern loads.

You are adding a big load

An EV charger, hot tub, addition or new HVAC can push an older panel past its limit.

Fuses or an old brand

Fuse boxes and certain older panels are worth evaluating for safety and capacity.

No room to add circuits

A full panel leaves no safe way to add what you need next.

Signs of heat or corrosion

Scorching, rust or a warm panel cover should be assessed promptly.

Whole-home surge protection

Protection at the panel covers every circuit, not one power strip. We size it with the panel work. It is also available as its own job.

Scope

What is included

  • A load assessmentWe calculate what your home actually draws and what the new work will add. Sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need an upgrade.
  • Right-sized serviceCommonly 100-amp or 200-amp service, sized to the real and planned load.
  • Permit and inspectionWe pull the permit when required.

Code

Permits, code and inspection

Panel work is permitted work. We pull the permit when the job requires it.

  • Work is performed to the National Electrical Code and the local amendments that apply in your jurisdiction.
  • Unpermitted electrical work can surface at resale, complicate an insurance claim, and leave the owner holding the liability. We handle it the right way so you do not have to think about it.

How it works

What happens next

  1. AssessmentWe evaluate the existing panel, run a load calculation, and confirm what the upgrade involves. Clear a path to the panel before we arrive.
  2. Written quoteYou get your quote by email and accept it from that email.
  3. Permits, when requiredWe pull the permit when the job requires it.
  4. InstallationWe install and land the new panel and circuits.
  5. InspectionThe work is inspected where required.

Cost

What affects the price

Factors, not figures. The written quote is the number.

  • Service size

    100-amp versus 200-amp service and the panel selected.

  • Meter and mast work

    Whether the meter, mast or service entrance also needs work.

  • Utility requirements

    Some upgrades require the utility to disconnect and reconnect.

  • Circuit count and condition

    How many circuits move over and the condition of the existing wiring.

Timing

What affects the timeline

Scheduling depends on the permit, the inspection and any utility disconnect. If the utility has to be involved, that step is outside our control.

I’ve used Pinnacle Electric three times now and I’ve always had the best experiences. I live in a very old home and always have a list of random electrical needs. They come out, give an accurate estimate and complete the work on time. Everything is always well done and they explain why they are doing certain things. They really make sure that I understand what’s happening with my home. Everyone who works for Pinnacle is also so kind. From the gal who answers the phone, the owner Jed and all of the technicians that I’ve had. I will keep going back to Pinnacale year after year for all of my electric needs.

I recently had Pinnacle Electric out to do some work on a recent home I purchased. They were not only fast and reliable but the most competence price I had received. Highly recommend!

I’ve used Pinnacle twice and they are amazing. They are prompt and do great work. They take great care and leave everything pristine. They explained everything before they left. Their work is quality and their pricing is very fair. I trust them with Amy electrical work in my house and would use them for anything in my home. I most highly recommend them. They take great care and pride in everything they do.

Questions

Common questions

Do I really need a panel upgrade?

Not always. We run a load assessment and tell you plainly. If your panel has the capacity and is safe, we say so. The upgrade is the fix when the panel is full, undersized or unsafe, not a default recommendation.

What changes the scope or cost?

Service size, whether the meter or mast also needs work, utility requirements, and how many circuits move over. The written quote lists what applies to your panel.

Will this work require a permit or inspection?

Where the code and the local jurisdiction require it, yes. We pull the permit when it is required.

Will my power be off during the work?

For part of the job, yes. Utility disconnect and reconnect requirements can affect scheduling.
