Richmond Panel Upgrade FAQ

How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?

If your breakers trip frequently, you still have a fuse box, or your panel feels warm to the touch, it’s time for an inspection.

Is this the same as an EV charger install?

No. While we often perform panel upgrades to support EV chargers, this service focuses on the main electrical hub of your home to ensure overall safety and capacity.

How long does a panel replacement take?

Most Richmond residential upgrades are completed in a single day, with power typically restored by the evening.

Will you handle the Richmond building permits?

Yes. We handle the entire permitting process with the local building office to ensure your upgrade is legal and adds value to your home.
