Electrical Service Upgrade
Homes and businesses use more power than ever, with everything from EV chargers to new appliances and additional equipment. For properties in Minneapolis, MN, and across the Twin Cities, we carefully inspect your existing panel and service, explain whether it can handle what you plan to add, and recommend an upgrade only when it makes sense, so you pay only for what you need.
We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and we hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Customers often mention fair pricing, polite service, and a clean job site, and that is the standard we aim to bring to every panel project we take on.
Fuseboxes & Aging Panels
Older homes often still have a fuse box or a panel that is decades old. These can be limited in capacity, difficult to expand, or no longer a good match for how you use your home. We assess what you have, explain the options plainly, and replace it when that is the right choice, without pressuring you into work you do not need.
Permits & Inspections Handled
Panel work is regulated electrical work, so it should be permitted and inspected. We handle the permit, install to code, and explain what to expect at inspection. Your service may also involve coordination with your utility, and we explain what that involves. If you are in Minneapolis, MN, or across the Twin Cities, call or text us today to plan your upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions homeowners and businesses ask about an electrical panel upgrade in Minneapolis, MN, from signs you may need one to permits and how to book.
What is an electrical panel upgrade?
Your electrical panel, often called a breaker box, distributes power to the circuits in your building. An electrical panel upgrade replaces an older or limited panel with a newer one and can include a service upgrade, which increases the amount of power the building can use. We explain what your property has and what an upgrade would involve before you decide.
How do I know if I need a panel or service upgrade?
Common reasons include an older fuse box, a remodel or addition, new appliances, or the addition of something like an EV charger. We look at your panel and what you plan to add, then tell you plainly whether an upgrade makes sense. If you are unsure what is causing a problem, our Troubleshooting page explains how we diagnose it, and our EV Charger Install page covers chargers.
How is a panel upgrade different from rewiring?
A panel upgrade covers the panel itself, your service capacity, and fuse box replacement. Rewiring covers the circuits and wiring throughout your building, including dedicated lines and older systems such as knob-and-tube. Some projects involve both, and we explain what each part involves. Our Wiring & Rewiring page covers circuits and rewiring in more detail.
Do you handle permits and utility coordination?
Yes, we handle the permit for the work, and we install to code. Some upgrades also involve your utility, for example, to disconnect or reconnect power, and we explain what applies to your project before we begin. We cannot speak for your utility’s schedule, but we will tell you what to expect and what to arrange so that nothing catches you by surprise.
Will my power be off during the upgrade?
Panel work usually requires turning off the building’s power for part of the job. We explain this when we plan your project, so you know what to expect and can prepare. The length of the outage depends on your panel and the work involved, so we cannot provide a time estimate until we understand your project. Ask us, and we will explain it plainly.
How is pricing handled?
We explain the cost of the work before we begin, so there are no surprises. The price depends on your panel, your service, and the scope of the project, so we do not quote a number until we understand the project. Tell us about your property and what you plan to add, and we will explain what the work involves and what it would cost.
