Good to know
A panel that is out of capacity trips as you add modern loads.
An EV charger, hot tub, addition or new HVAC can push an older panel past its limit.
Fuse boxes and certain older panels are worth evaluating for safety and capacity.
A full panel leaves no safe way to add what you need next.
Scorching, rust or a warm panel cover should be assessed promptly.
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
Code
Panel work is permitted work. We pull the permit when the job requires it.
How it works
Cost
Factors, not figures. The written quote is the number.
Timing
Scheduling depends on the permit, the inspection and any utility disconnect. If the utility has to be involved, that step is outside our control.
Related
The charger is one part. The panel has to feed it safely. These two often go together.

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.

The two gentlemen who came to sort my electrical issues for me were very knowledgeable and courteous. Sorted out everything in a very timely manor.
Scope
Residential and commercial
Residential and commercial panel installation, upgrades and replacements across Columbia and Mid-Missouri.
Additional requested work may change the price. When extra work is needed, we make you aware and submit a change order for your approval before additional work begins.
Questions
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.
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.
Where the code and the local jurisdiction require it, yes. We pull the permit when it is required.
For part of the job, yes. Utility disconnect and reconnect requirements can affect scheduling.
