FAQs
Why might I need an electric panel upgrade in Duff?
Older panels (often 60–100 amps) can’t safely handle the load of today’s high-demand appliances, EV chargers, or home additions. Upgrading to a modern 200-amp panel improves capacity, reduces tripped breakers, meets current NEC code, and increases your home’s resale value—particularly important in Duff, where many homes were built before the 1990s.
What does your seamless installation process look like from start to finish?
1) Free on-site assessment and load calculation. 2) Detailed proposal with scope, timeline, and fixed pricing. 3) Permit acquisition with the City of Duff’s building department. 4) Utility coordination and scheduled power shut-off (typically 3–4 hours). 5) Removal of the old panel, installation of the new service entrance, breakers, grounding, and surge protection. 6) Post-installation inspection, power restoration, and homeowner walk-through. 7) Delivery of final documentation and warranty. All steps are managed by our team, so you have one point of contact throughout.
How long will I be without power during the panel upgrade?
For most single-family homes in Duff, the actual power outage lasts between 3 and 6 hours. We schedule work during daylight, notify you in advance, and can provide temporary generator power for critical circuits (e.g., medical equipment or refrigerators) upon request.
Do I need permits or inspections in Duff, and who handles them?
Yes. Duff requires an electrical permit and a follow-up inspection by the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Our licensed master electrician secures the permits, coordinates with inspectors, and remains on-site during inspection to ensure immediate approval, saving you time and potential re-inspection fees.
What factors influence the cost of an electric panel upgrade?
Pricing depends on service size (200 amps vs. 400 amps), panel brand, need for meter base or service mast replacement, distance to utility connection, and any code-driven upgrades (grounding, AFCI/GFCI breakers). After the assessment, we give a fixed, upfront price that won’t change unless the project scope does.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
All labor is backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty, and panels/breakers carry the manufacturer’s 10-year limited warranty. You’ll also receive a maintenance guide and one free follow-up inspection within 12 months. Our 24/7 emergency line means you can reach a licensed electrician in Duff anytime after the upgrade.
