Is Your Electrical Panel a Hidden Hazard in Your Home?

When outdated or undersized electrical panels fail to meet modern demands, it’s more than just an inconvenience — it’s creating a serious safety risk and limiting your home’s functionality.

  • Experiencing frequent circuit breaker trips when running multiple appliances? Modern electrical panels provide sufficient capacity for today’s technology-intensive homes, eliminating the frustration of constantly reset breakers.
  • Concerned about outdated panels that lack essential safety features? Many Colorado homes still operate with electrical panels known to have serious safety issues, where inadequate protection creates ongoing fire risks.
  • Frustrated by limited capacity that prevents adding new circuits? Professional panel upgrades dramatically increase your home’s electrical capacity, allowing for new appliances, technologies, and amenities.
  • Worried about unusual sounds, odors, or heat coming from your panel? Today’s panel replacement services address these serious warning signs with comprehensive solutions that restore proper function while enhancing safety.

Expert Electrical Panel Solutions

Your home’s electrical panel is the command center for your entire electrical system. With our comprehensive capabilities and specialized knowledge, we provide complete panel solutions that enhance safety, improve capacity, and deliver years of reliable service.

Our years of experience with Northern Colorado homes ensure panel installations that address the specific challenges of regional electrical demands and building configurations. From basic repairs to complete panel replacements, we develop and implement solutions that provide consistent performance through years of daily use.

Our Comprehensive Panel Services Include:

Panel Upgrades and Replacements

Is your home still operating with an outdated 60-amp fuse box or 100-amp panel? Today's homes typically require 200-amp service or greater to accommodate modern appliances, electronics, and technologies. Our panel upgrade services replace outdated systems with modern alternatives offering increased capacity, enhanced safety features, and improved reliability, providing the foundation for today's technology-intensive lifestyles.

Safety Inspections and Evaluations

Uncertain about your panel's condition or capacity? Our comprehensive inspection services evaluate your existing equipment, identifying potential safety concerns, code violations, and capacity limitations. We provide clear documentation of findings with appropriate recommendations, allowing informed decisions regarding necessary improvements.

Federal Pacific, Zinsco, and Pushmatic Panel Replacements

Many Colorado homes still contain electrical panels from manufacturers now known for serious safety defects. Our specialized replacement services address these hazardous panels, replacing them with modern alternatives that provide reliable protection against overloads, short circuits, and fire hazards.

Main Service Upgrades

Increasing your home's overall electrical capacity requires more than just panel replacement. Our complete service upgrade packages include coordination with utility providers, service entrance cable replacement, meter base upgrades, and comprehensive panel installation, providing turnkey solutions for homes requiring increased electrical capacity.

Circuit Breaker Replacements and Additions

Individual breaker failures or needs for additional circuits don't always require complete panel replacement. Our targeted breaker services address specific issues or expansion needs, replacing damaged components or adding new circuits within existing panels when capacity allows.

GFCI and AFCI Protection Implementation

Modern safety standards require specialized protection for specific applications. Our comprehensive safety upgrades implement Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter protection where required, dramatically reducing shock and fire risks while ensuring code compliance.

Surge Protection Integration

Power surges damage expensive electronics and create fire hazards. Our panel-integrated surge protection services install whole-house surge suppression systems that protect your entire home from damaging power fluctuations, providing superior protection compared to plug-in devices.

Sub-Panel Installations

When main panel capacity is limited or specific areas require dedicated power, sub-panel installations provide the solution. Our sub-panel services extend your electrical system to detached garages, workshops, additions, or specialized areas, providing appropriate power distribution while maintaining overall system integrity.

Signs Your Electrical Panel Needs Immediate Attention

Physical Warning Signs

● Rust or corrosion on or within the panel
● Warm or hot panel cover during normal operation

Quick Answers to Panel Service Questions

Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels have a documented failure rate of up to 60% when tested under UL standards, creating significant fire risks. Insurance companies increasingly refuse coverage for homes with these panels. We recommend immediate replacement to protect your family and property.

Most modern homes require at least 200-amp service to accommodate typical appliances, electronics, and HVAC systems. Larger homes or those with electric heating, workshops, EV charging, or other high-demand applications may require 300-400 amp service. Our load calculation determines your specific requirements.

Most residential panel replacements are completed in a single day (6-8 hours), with power interruption typically limited to 4-6 hours. Complex replacements or service upgrades requiring utility coordination may extend to 2 days. We schedule work to minimize disruption to your household.

Many insurance companies now require updated electrical panels, specifically excluding coverage for homes with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or fuse boxes. Panel upgrades often qualify for insurance discounts and may be required for policy renewal or home sales.
