Panel Swap
Replace a flagged panel before it slows down the sale.
Most of the homes built prior to 1960 that we work on across South-Central PA were wired decades ago, and a lot still run on the panels home inspectors flag on sight, Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, Zinsco, Pushmatic, or an old fuse box that never got touched. A panel swap pulls that out and replaces it with a modern, code-compliant box at the same service size. We disconnect with the utility, remove the old panel, re-land and label every circuit, start to finish in a single day. You get a panel that won't cost you the sale and won't keep the next buyer's inspector up at night.

Common questions
Do I need to be on-site all day?
No. We need access and a few minutes with you at the start to confirm scope and the power shut-off, but most of the day is just us working. Your power will be off for part of it while we make the swap, so plan around that. You don't need to stand over us. We lock up or hand it back the way we found it.
Will this pass the county inspection?
Yes. We take care of anything required by the township, install to current NEC 2020 code, and schedule inspection as needed. You don't have to chase paperwork or handle any of the scheduling.
What's the difference between a panel swap and a panel upgrade?
A swap replaces your panel with a new one at the same service size, 100 amps to 100 amps, say, usually because the old box is failing or a flagged brand like Federal Pacific. An upgrade increases your capacity, almost always 100 amps to 200 amps, and includes service-entrance work and utility coordination. Not sure which you need? Send a photo of your panel and we'll tell you straight.
