Full-Service Panel Upgrade Solutions
Every panel upgrade project is completed by a licensed electrician homeowners can count on for safe, code-compliant work. Rooham Electric provides full-service electrical panel solutions for homes of all ages, as well as commercial properties throughout the region that need a properly installed, capacity-ready electrical system.
Assessment and Load Planning
Every panel upgrade begins with a thorough assessment phase. We evaluate your home’s current electrical load, review your existing panel, and identify any circuits that are undersized or overloaded. We calculate your total demand, account for any planned additions like EV chargers or appliances, and determine the correct panel size to support your home safely and reliably for the long run.
Inspection and Final Verification
One of the most important parts of a proper panel upgrade is what happens after the hardware is installed. Our team coordinates the required electrical inspection, walks you through the completed work, and confirms every circuit is functioning correctly. We test breakers, verify ground connections, and make sure your new panel is operating exactly as it should before we wrap up and leave your home. You get a clean, code-approved system and a clear explanation of how to use it.
Panel Removal and Replacement
The installation phase of your panel upgrade is where the real work happens. Our licensed electricians disconnect your existing panel safely, remove outdated or undersized equipment, and install a new breaker panel rated for your home’s current and future demands. We reconnect every circuit with care, label each breaker clearly, and ensure all wiring meets BC electrical code standards. The new panel is secured, grounded properly, and ready for inspection before we consider the job done.
