Electrical panels. Done right.
Panel upgrades, 200A service rebuilds, sub-panel installs, breaker replacements, and full diagnostic on existing panels. Permits pulled, breakers labeled, inspector signed off, every job.
200A is the new minimum.
Most homes built before 2000 in East Tennessee have 100A panels. Add an EV charger, a heat pump, an induction range, or a home office, and that 100A panel runs out of headroom. A 200A upgrade gives you the load capacity for everything you’re going to add over the next 30 years.
A panel upgrade is more than swapping a cabinet. We pull a load calc, size the service drop, coordinate the meter swap with the utility, and sequence the inspection so power comes back the same day. For most residential homes, that’s a one-day job from morning to dusk.
Federal Pacific, Zinsco, and Sylvania-Challenger panels are recall-class. Insurance companies in Tennessee are increasingly refusing to cover homes with them. If your panel is one of those three, an upgrade isn’t optional — it’s the path to keeping your homeowner’s policy.
We also run a full diagnostic on every existing panel we touch: torque every lug to spec, check breaker temperatures with an IR camera, label every circuit, and document the work for your inspector and your insurance carrier.

Five things included on every panel upgrade.
Full load calculation
We pull a load calc per NEC 220 to size the panel correctly — not just “200A because that’s what everyone gets.” HVAC, EV, induction, and well pump are all factored in.
200A service rebuild
New panel cabinet, new bus bars, new breakers, neat conductor routing. Federal Pacific, Zinsco, and Sylvania-Challenger panels replaced under recall-class protocol.
Whole-home surge protection
A Type 2 SPD ($300-$600) installs at the panel and clamps spikes from the utility before they hit your devices. Recommended on every upgrade.
Sub-panel installation
Garage sub-panels for EV charging or workshop, basement sub-panels for finished space, detached structure sub-panels with proper grounding.
Permit + inspection coordination
We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, walk it through. You don’t make a single phone call to a government office.
Documentation + handoff
You get a labeled circuit directory, the inspector’s sign-off, and a panel photo set for your records and your insurance carrier.

Three other electricians quoted me for the panel upgrade and ghosted on the install date. Volt Pro showed up at 7:30am, finished by 4, and labeled every breaker neatly. The kind of work I’d brag about if I were the contractor.
