Frequently asked questions
How long will my power be off?
The power is typically off for part of the day while the panel is swapped. We'll confirm the expected window before the work is scheduled.
Do I need a 200A upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always. A load calculation shows whether your existing service can handle it, sometimes with load management instead of a full upgrade.
