Why Choose Professional Panel Upgrades in Hamburg, NY?

The process begins with an inspection of your existing panel, service entrance, and main disconnect to determine current capacity and identify any code violations or wear.

Installation involves coordinating a temporary power shutdown with your utility, safely disconnecting the old panel, and installing the new one with proper grounding and bonding.
