Panel Upgrades
Do You Need to Upgrade Your Panel?
You may need an electrical panel upgrade if you notice:
• Frequent breaker trips
• Flickering or dimming lights
• Burning smells or warm panel
• Outdated panels (like Federal Pacific)
• Adding a hot tub, EV charger, or new appliances
• Your home still has a 100-amp service
👉 These are signs your system may not safely handle your electrical demand.
Are There Rebates Available?
Some homeowners in Minnesota may qualify for rebates or incentives that help offset the cost of a panel upgrade—especially for energy-related improvements.
Programs and eligibility vary depending on your utility provider and project.
👉 We’re happy to help you understand what may be available and guide you through the process.
Optional resources:
Federal home energy upgrade tax incentives
Xcel Energy rebate programs
Are Federal Pacific Panels Dangerous?
Yes. Federal Pacific (FPE) panels are widely known to be a serious fire risk.
They can fail to trip during overloads—meaning your wiring can overheat without protection.
If your home has a Federal Pacific panel, replacement is strongly recommended.
We can inspect your panel and walk you through safe upgrade options.

“Jeff replaced the main panel and converted overhead utility feed to buried. He has taken care of several other smaller jobs as well over the years. All have been consistently high quality work. He has diagnosed a couple weird issues in our 70 year old house and fixed them - the first time - without drama or complications. Would recommend Jeff without hesitation..”
