Electrical Panel Upgrade in Empire, 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 Empire 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.

Empire customers on our work
“Called about a breaker that kept tripping and had someone at the house in Empire the same afternoon. Found a loose connection in a junction box the previous owner had buried behind drywall. Explained everything, fixed it, and the price matched the quote.”
Homeowner, Empire“The generator install went smoothly from the site visit to the final test. They sized it around what we actually needed to keep running rather than selling us the biggest unit.”
Homeowner, Empire“Rewired the upstairs of a 1920s house in stages so we could keep living here. Careful cuts, small patches, and they kept the dust contained better than expected.”
Homeowner, EmpireElectrical Panel Upgrade in Empire: common questions
How do I know my Empire 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 Empire 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 Empire?
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 Empire 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 Empire homeowner can make.
