FAQs

Will I need a full 200A upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always. Some homes qualify for load management solutions that safely share capacity. We’ll calculate your actual load and give options.

How long will my power be off?
Most swaps take a few hours within a one-day install. We schedule the PG&E window to minimize downtime.

Can you relocate a panel to meet code?
Yes. We commonly move panels from closets or other non-compliant spots to a safe, inspector-approved location.

Do you handle permits and inspection?
Yes. Our office team manages permits, inspector scheduling, and PG&E coordination.

Is my old brand unsafe?
Some legacy brands/models have a history of failures. We inspect panels from all major manufacturers, including older or discontinued models that may have known safety advisories or recalls.
