Right-sized panel upgrades based on a real load calculation, not a guess.
Before recommending a panel upgrade, we run a load calculation per NEC Article 220 that accounts for your existing appliances, HVAC, and whatever you're planning to add, so you're not paying for capacity you'll never use. A lot of Mendocino County homes still run on 100-amp panels installed decades ago with only a handful of open breaker spaces, which becomes a hard limit the moment you want a NEMA 14-50 for an EV or a second heat pump condenser.
Upgrades typically mean a new panel enclosure, updated bus bar and breaker set, and often a meter main swap if the service conductors are undersized too. This work always requires a permit and PG&E coordination for the temporary power disconnect, and we schedule the outage window as short as possible, usually a few hours.
We also flag any double-tapped breakers or missing AFCI/GFCI protection we find in the old panel while we're in there.
Panels, wiring, lighting, outlets, generators, and EV charging for homes across Mendocino, Lake, Sonoma, and Napa County.
We work here every day, so we know what's behind the walls before we open them.
Much of Ukiah, Calpella, and Hopland was built long before modern loads, heat pumps, induction ranges, shop tools, EV chargers. We see the same failure patterns weekly: undersized 100-amp services, aluminum branch circuits, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and panels no longer supported by breakers you can buy.
We know which county desk handles your permit and which inspector will be at the meter.
Photos from real jobs around the county. If you want to see something closer to your own situation, ask and we'll send more.
No mystery, and no surprise invoice at the end.
Every review below came from a job in Mendocino County. Read the rest on Google.
“Diagnosed a dead circuit in twenty minutes and had it fixed the same afternoon. Clear pricing, no upsell.”
“They upgraded our 100-amp panel and handled the permit and inspection start to finish. Crew left the garage cleaner than they found it.”
“We manage eleven units and they turn around electrical punch lists faster than anyone we've used.”
Crews dispatch from Ukiah across Mendocino, Lake, Sonoma and Napa County.
