Electrical Panels

Your panel is where every circuit in the building starts. We replace worn-out boxes and upgrade service so the house can handle what you plug into it.

Your electrical panel controls how power moves through your whole property. We replace outdated or unsafe breaker boxes and upgrade service to 200-amp or 400-amp systems when a home or business has outgrown what it has.

Signs you've outgrown your panel

Breakers that trip when two things run at once, lights that dim when a big appliance starts, a panel with no open slots, or plans to add an EV charger, a generator, or a shop. Any of these is worth a look.

What a service upgrade involves

A real service upgrade means working with your utility, not just swapping a box. One recent customer's job included coordinating with MN Power for the overhead connection, adding a surge suppressor, extending the main feeder, and installing a new 30-circuit panel. We handle that coordination so you don't have to.

Panels for multi-unit buildings

We also install meter banks and panels for apartment and commercial buildings, where every unit needs its own metered service.

On price: every job gets an on-site look and upfront pricing before any work starts. Book online or call (218) 900-7771.

Great customer service and fast work. I had a small repair that I needed done on the outside of my house and they were able to get it done within a few days after I called them. I would use them again, and would recommend them to others.

Questions

Electrical Panels FAQs

01 How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?

Frequent tripped breakers, no room for new circuits, an old fuse box, or a big addition planned (EV charger, generator, shop, addition) are the usual signs.

02 Do you coordinate with the power company?

Yes. Service upgrades often need the utility to disconnect and reconnect. We coordinate that with MN Power or your provider.

03 100, 200, or 400 amp: which do I need?

It depends on what you run now and what you plan to add. We do a load calculation and recommend the size that fits, not the biggest one.

04 Does a surge protector go in the panel?

A whole-home surge protector can be installed at the panel. Ask about adding one with an upgrade.
