Electrical Panel Upgrade in Burns, CO

Your panel is the heart of the electrical system, and most of the trouble people blame on old wiring actually starts there. If your Burns home still runs on 60 or 100 amp service, a fuse box, or a brand with a known failure history, an upgrade buys you capacity for the way houses are actually used now, with EV chargers, heat pumps, induction ranges and home offices all drawing at once.

Reviews

Burns customers on our work

★★★★★

“Installed a Tesla Wall Connector in the garage and ran a clean conduit line I actually do not mind looking at. Checked our panel capacity first instead of just assuming. Charging overnight has been flawless since.”

EV owner, Burns
★★★★★

“Our shop needed a lighting retrofit and new circuits for equipment. They worked two weekends so we never closed. Invoices matched the estimate line for line.”

Business owner, Burns
★★★★★

“Upgraded our panel from 100 to 200 amps ahead of an EV charger install. Done in a day, permit handled, inspector signed off with no issues. They also cleaned up better than the last three contractors we have had here.”

Electrical Panel Upgrade in Burns: common questions

How do I know my Burns home needs a panel upgrade?

Common signs are a fuse box instead of breakers, a panel with no free slots, breakers that trip when two appliances run together, lights that dim when the dryer or AC starts, rust or scorch marks inside the cover, or a plan to add an EV charger, hot tub or air conditioning. If you are unsure, we will read the label and load and tell you honestly whether you need it.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most residential 200 amp upgrades in Burns are done in a single day. Power is off for a portion of that while the service is disconnected and reconnected. Larger homes, meter base replacements and utility coordination can push it to two days.

Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Burns?

Yes. Service changes are permitted and inspected work everywhere in Colorado. We pull the permit, coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect, and meet the inspector so the upgrade is properly closed out on your property record.

Is 200 amp service enough for a modern home?

For the large majority of Burns homes, yes. 200 amps comfortably covers electric heat or a heat pump, an EV charger, a range, a dryer and normal household loads. Very large homes, shops with welders, or households running two EV chargers plus electric heat sometimes need 320/400 amp service, and we will run a load calculation rather than guess.

Can you replace a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel?

Yes, and we recommend it. Those brands have a documented history of breakers failing to trip under fault conditions. Replacement with a modern load center is one of the most worthwhile electrical investments a Burns homeowner can make.
