- No remaining breaker space
- Frequent tripping or dimming lights

Related customer proof
Feedback from customers who hired us for similar categories of work.
“Had our panel upgraded from 100 to 200 amps. Dave and his crew were on time, explained everything clearly, and left the work area cleaner than they found it. Passed inspection on the first visit.”
“Needed an EV charger installed in the garage. Riney evaluated the panel, ran a new circuit, and had the charger up and running in one day. Clean install and fair price.”
Questions customers ask before starting panel upgrades
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options for larger projects like generator installations, panel upgrades, and EV charger installations.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We pull permits when required, coordinate inspections, and make sure your project is completed to current code.
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
Common signs include breakers tripping frequently, lights dimming under load, lack of open breaker space, or plans to add major loads like EV charging, electric HVAC, or a hot tub.
Can my current panel support an EV charger?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. We evaluate your existing load, breaker space, and service capacity before recommending the charger and circuit size.
