Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about electrical service upgrades & repairs
How long does a service upgrade take?
Most service upgrades take 1-2 days. The utility needs to disconnect and reconnect power, which we coordinate.
Will I be without power?
Yes, typically for 4-8 hours while we replace the meter base and service entrance. We schedule around your needs.
Do I need a service upgrade for solar panels?
It depends on your current service size and solar system capacity. We'll assess and recommend accordingly.
How do I know if I have 100A or 200A service?
Check your main breaker size in your panel. The meter base and service entrance cable size also determine capacity.
Does a service upgrade require a permit?
