Panels
Electrical Panel Upgrades in Woodway, WA
Panels get replaced for three reasons: no space, a known-faulty brand, or a service too small for what the house now runs. We will say which is yours. Ask on (000) 000-0000.
Talk it through — (000) 000-0000
An upgrade is not automatically a larger service. Plenty of houses have 200 amps and a full panel, where a sub-panel is the honest answer. Where the service genuinely is undersized the work involves the utility as well as us, and arranging that is part of the job.

Detail
What we watch for
- Known-problem panels flagged — some older brands have documented failure modes
- Utility scheduling handled — where the service changes, we deal with it
- Every circuit relabelled — the new directory is accurate
- Surge protection offered, not pushed — cheapest to add during a panel change if you want it
Our work
What is covered
Our labour on the changeover is covered for two years. If a termination we made works loose inside that window we come back and correct it at no further labour charge.
Questions
Asked often
Do I need 400 amps?
Very rarely. Most homes are well served by 200 once the load is calculated properly, and we would rather talk you out of capacity you will not use.
How long is the power off?
Usually most of a working day. We agree the date in advance and never start a changeover we cannot finish and energise the same day.
Have it looked at before you commit
Describe the job on the phone and we will tell you what is involved and whether it needs a visit to price properly.
