ELECTRICAL PANEL UPGRADES
Panel Upgrades Done Right the First Time
Your electrical panel is the backbone of your home’s power system. When it cannot keep up with modern demand — or when your insurance carrier flags it — Mohammad Adam handles the upgrade, the permit, the Dominion Energy coordination, and the inspection.
What Panel Upgrades Covers
An electrical panel upgrade replaces your home’s main breaker panel with a modern, higher-capacity unit — typically moving from 100A or 150A to 200A. The reasons vary: your panel is full and you need circuits for an EV charger, a kitchen remodel, or a heat pump. Your insurance company flagged a Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Pushmatic panel. Or your home simply trips breakers under normal load because it was wired for a different era.
S&H Contracting treats every panel upgrade as a full-system assessment. We inspect the service entrance, the meter base, the grounding, and the branch circuits — not just the panel box. We coordinate with Dominion Energy for the meter pull and reconnect. We pull the permit, schedule the county inspection, and make sure the work passes on the first visit.
