Briefly Describe The Job:

Relax, We’ve Got This!

As a customer, you won’t need to worry about dealing with the city or the utility company. All you have to do is sit back and relax—we’ll take care of the entire process from start to finish! Feel free to reach out for a consultation and let us make your panel upgrade stress-free!

Pricing

• Underground Services: $3,000 – $5,000

• Overhead Services: $4,000 – $6,000

• 400-Amp Upgrades: Start at $10,000 for larger homes or commercial projects requiring more power.

400-amp upgrades are usually needed for larger custom homes, home additions, guest houses, or multiple electric car chargers. If your panel is overloaded, it’s time for an upgrade.

Note: If APS or SRP requires us to move your panel due to code violations (like being under an awning or carport), this can affect the cost.

Included

• All Parts and Labor: Everything necessary to complete the job, no shortcuts.

• Engineering & Permitting: We handle all the paperwork, so you don’t have to worry.

• Communication: We’ll be your go-between with the utility company and the city, keeping everything running smoothly.

• Trenching & Roof Work: If digging or roof penetrations are required, we’ve got it covered.

• State-Enforced Warranty: We stand behind our work with a quality assurance guarantee.

• Consultation: We’ll sit down with you, go over all your options, and give you a clear
estimate based on what the utility company requires.

Excluded

• No Hidden Fees: There are no surprise charges at the end of the project. What you see is what you get.

Underground vs. Overhead Service: What’s the Difference?

Underground Service:

Your power runs through wires buried underground, making it more durable and protected from weather and accidental damage. This requires trenching and conduit installation.

Overhead Service:

Your power comes from wires suspended above ground, typically from a pole to your home. This setup is usually quicker but more exposed to weather and potential damage.

Duration and Scheduling:

Typically, the entire process from consultation to completion takes 2-3 weeks.

Installation Day:

The installation itself is an all-day process, with power restored around noon to 2 PM. We suggest you take a staycation for the day since the power will be off for most
of it.

Larger Upgrades:

If you’re going for a 400-amp upgrade, plan for a multi-day installation due to the size and complexity of the project.

Important Safety Policy:

If your home currently has a load center, split bus panel system, Federal Pacific, or Zinsco panel, our technicians will only perform the necessary maintenance, repairs, or upgrades until the main panel is replaced with a modern, safe, and reliable system. Your safety—and the safety of our technicians—is our top priority. Upgrading to a new panel ensures that your electrical system is up to today’s safety standards.
