From Irvine to Costa Mesa, Newport Beach to Anaheim, we’re the trusted team OC homeowners call for clean, code-compliant panel work done right the first time.

Why Your Electrical Panel Matters

Think of your electrical panel like the command center of your home. Everything—from your AC to your EV charger, fridge, Wi-Fi, oven, and that air fryer you swear by—relies on it. When the panel can’t handle the load, you’ll feel it.

Common issues we see across Orange County:

  • Breakers that constantly trip

  • Burning or melting smells

  • Buzzing or humming sounds

  • Scorch marks or corrosion

  • Lights that flicker when appliances turn on

  • Homes with 60-amp or 100-amp panels needing upgrades

These problems aren’t just annoying—they’re fire hazards. That’s why professional repair or replacement is critical.

Our Electrical Main Panel Services

Main Panel Repair

If your electrical panel is acting up, we’ll inspect, diagnose, and repair the issue quickly and safely. Our repairs include:

  • Replacing damaged breakers

  • Fixing burnt or loose wiring

  • Correcting overloaded circuits

  • Eliminating corrosion or moisture buildup

  • Restoring power continuity and safety

We repair all major brands, including Siemens, Square D, Eaton, GE, and more.

Main Panel Installation & Replacement

Homes across Orange County are using more electricity than ever—EV chargers, solar systems, smart appliances, and multiple HVAC units add up. Older panels simply can’t keep up.

We install brand-new, high-capacity electrical panels to support:

  • 200-amp service upgrades

  • EV charging stations

  • Home remodels and additions

  • Pool and spa equipment

  • Solar system integrations

  • Whole-home surge protection

Our installations are fully permitted, up to NEC code, and completed with clean, organized workmanship.

Sub Panel Services

Sub Panel Installation

Sometimes your main panel can’t handle additional circuits, or the distance to the new equipment requires a secondary panel. That’s where sub panels come in.

We install sub panels for:

  • Detached garages

  • ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units)

  • Workshops

  • Home gyms or studios

  • Pool equipment

  • Outdoor kitchens

  • EV charging setups

These secondary panels help distribute power safely and reduce strain on your main panel.

Sub Panel Repair

If your sub panel has loose wires, bad breakers, or early signs of overheating, we’ll repair it before it becomes a bigger issue.

Signs You May Need a Panel Upgrade

If any of these sound familiar, it’s upgrade time:

  • Your home still has a fuse box

  • You smell burning from your panel

  • Your breakers feel hot to the touch

  • Your panel is more than 25–30 years old

  • You added new appliances (HVAC, EV charger, spa, etc.)

  • You’ve remodeled your home

  • You keep resetting the same breakers again and again

Orange County homes—especially older properties in Anaheim, Orange, Costa Mesa, or Huntington Beach—often need upgrades to meet modern electrical demands.
