A Panel That Fits How You Live Now
Your panel was sized for the house as it was built. Add a charger, a heat pump, a hot tub or a finished basement and it may run out of room or capacity. Recalled panels such as Federal Pacific and Zinsco bring another reason to replace, because their breakers have a record of not tripping when they should.
Electrician Tukwila starts with a load calculation. It tells us whether you truly need more amps or just more breaker spaces, which is a much cheaper fix. If an upgrade is the answer, you get a written quote covering the panel, the meter base if needed, the permit and the utility disconnect.
On the day, power is off for part of the work. We plan it so you know when, and we get you back on as fast as the inspection allows.
What a Panel Upgrade Includes
Everything from the meter to the last labeled breaker.

A written calculation of your current and planned load, so the size is chosen on evidence.
Capacity options
A straight comparison of a full upgrade, a subpanel or a load-managed alternative where they apply.
Recalled panel replacement
Federal Pacific, Zinsco and Challenger panels removed and replaced.
100 to 200 amp upgrades
New service equipment sized to the load calculation.

How a Panel Upgrade Runs
Assess
We inspect the panel, the service and the meter, and run the load calculation. You see the numbers and the options.
Schedule
After you approve the quote we file the permit and book the utility window. This part usually takes one to two weeks.
Swap and inspect
The changeover usually takes one working day. We transfer and label every circuit, then meet the inspector.
Why Homeowners Trust Us With Panels
No upgrade you do not need
If more breaker spaces or a subpanel solves it, we say so first.
One date, kept
We coordinate the utility and inspector so your power-off window is planned, not open-ended.
A panel you can read
Every breaker labeled clearly, so you know what controls what.
Coverage on the work
Panel changes touch the service itself, so credentials matter. We are licensed, bonded and insured as an electrical contractor in Washington State, and the permit for your upgrade is filed under that license.
