Electrical Panel Upgrades in Huntley, IL

If your panel is old, out of room, or you're adding something big like a hot tub, EV charger or an addition, it might be time for a new one. We'll look at what you have, tell you honestly whether it needs replacing, and give you a price.

We'll call you back within one business day

When to call us

  • No open spaces left in the panel
  • Breakers trip a lot, or feel warm
  • You're adding a big load: EV charger, hot tub, AC, basement finish
  • Rust, scorch marks, or a burning smell at the panel
  • The home inspector or your insurance company flagged it
  • It's a brand the inspectors call out, like Federal Pacific or Zinsco

What’s included

  • Look at the panel, the service and what you're planning to add
  • Do the load math and tell you if 100, 150 or 200 amps makes sense
  • Give you one written price that includes the permit
  • Coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with ComEd
  • Label every breaker so you know what's what

Common questions

Do I really need a new panel?

Not always. Sometimes the panel is fine and you just need a circuit or two rearranged. If the panel has a known problem or is damaged, we'll show you why we recommend replacing it.

How long will the power be off?

Most panel swaps are done in a day. The power is off for part of it. We'll tell you the plan ahead of time so you can work around it.

Do you pull the permit?

Yes. A panel change needs one, and we pull it. The village inspects it after. That protects you when you sell the house.

Smell burning or see sparks? Turn that breaker off. If there’s smoke or fire, get out and call 911. A wire down outside is ComEd: 1-800-334-7661. Stay away from it.
