Frequent Tripping
Your breakers click off when two big loads run at once, like a space heater and a vacuum.
What to know before you get started.
Many Colfax homes have older panels that were not built for heat pumps or EV chargers. We look at your wiring route and the meter base before giving you an exact price in writing for the upgrade.
Signs your panel is overloaded
A lot of the local housing was built long before anyone used a welder or an EV charger in the garage.
No extra room
You want to add a heat pump but your panel has no open breaker spaces for the new circuit.
Physical Heat
Your panel feels warm to the touch or you notice a smell like hot plastic coming from the breakers.
When a replacement is necessary
Some older panels are known for failing to trip or having physical damage that makes them unsafe.
Fuse Boxes
We replace old fuse boxes with modern breaker panels to handle the higher amperage modern life requires.
History of problems
We swap out panels known for failing to trip even during a short circuit or a surge.
Visible Damage
We replace panels showing rust, corrosion, or scorch marks on the bus bar where the breakers attach.
Our process for your home or shop
We make sure your new panel is safe and every circuit is easy for you to find.
On-Site Review
We look at your panel and what you plan to run to give you an exact price in writing.

We coordinate with the utility to shut down the power while we install the new meter base and panel.
Clear Labeling
