The panel is the heart of a building's electrical system, and in a lot of Alabama homes it is the oldest part. If yours still has screw-in fuses, a 60 or 100 amp main, or a brand that has been recalled, the panel is quietly limiting everything you can add to the house.

Common signs in Alabama homes: a fuse box, a 60 or 100 amp main, breakers that trip when two appliances run, lights that dim when the AC starts, a panel that feels warm, rust inside the cabinet, or double-tapped breakers. Any of those is worth an inspection.
Most residential panel replacements take six to eight hours with the power off for a portion of that. We agree the outage window ahead of time, and for businesses in Alabama we can often stage the work after hours so you never close.
Not always. Plenty of Alabama homes run a Level 2 charger on a 100 or 125 amp service once a load calculation and, if needed, a load management device are in place. We do the maths before recommending an upgrade you may not need.
Yes. We pull the permit, coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with the utility, and meet the inspector. You do not need to take a day off for paperwork.
