Electrical Panel Upgrade in Colorado

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.

Most residential 200 amp upgrades in Colorado 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.

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.

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.

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 Colorado homeowner can make.
