Electric Panel Upgrade
Minuteman Services performs expert electric panel upgrades for homes and businesses in Idaho Falls, ID. We replace outdated panels with modern systems built for safety, performance, and increased power needs.

Professional Electric Panel Upgrade
Minuteman Services provides professional electric panel upgrades for residential and small commercial properties. Older panels often cannot handle modern electrical loads, which leads to tripped breakers and safety risks. Our electricians replace outdated panels with new models that support higher amperage and additional circuits. We install panels that meet current code and include built-in safety features. A modern panel helps prevent overheating, electrical fires, and power outages. We also upgrade grounding systems and install arc fault and surge protection when required. Every upgrade starts with a full inspection to check capacity, breaker condition, and wiring safety. Our team explains the results and recommends the best replacement options. You get a reliable, code compliant panel that powers your home safely for years.
Jordan and the office was great to work. Jordan was very knowledgeable in his work.
Very conscientious, friendly and appeared knowledgeable. Appreciated the helpful communications with Travis!
Minuteman services were awesome to work with, Fair and Honest. Upfront about charges and quick response. Jordan was professional and knowledgeable. Thank you!!! Will definitely be using them for our home needs here on out.
Matt came to change the lights timer and when he finished he took the time to clean up really good after all the insulation fell from the ceiling
Minute Man was quick to come out, gave a free estimate and fixed our fire place without any hassles. From start to finish was a great experience. Will call again!
Jordan at Minuteman Services was fantastic! He came out quickly to fix my mom’s furnace and had it running again in no time. He took the time to explain everything clearly so we knew exactly what was going on and what to expect. Super professional, friendly, and efficient — couldn’t ask for better service. Highly recommend!
We had issues with one of the lights in our office building. I googled places to repair them, and was impressed with the reviews this company had. They were scheduled to come give us a quote on a Wednesday and to our surprise the light was fixed before they were scheduled to come take a look. The repair was done quickly and I was impressed with everyone in the company. So happy with the repair that was Made!
My furnace is getting old and had some issues this year. Minuteman has done maintenance for me since we bought our home. Contacted Jarrod and he sent Jordan out to check things out. They said they could fix it if they needed to, and would recommend to repair it over a replacement, but my preference was just fix it once and for all and get a new one. They gave me a quote including about $6,000 in optional upgrades. After speaking to them, they helped me decide that only a small upgrade of $800 was the best choice for me and my family and my home. I am willing to pay top dollar for the best system available, but they said that a lower price system was actually better for me in my situation. These guys are honest to a fault and absolutely the best at what they do.
I want to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT to Minuteman Services LLC - While my mother was getting her yearly checkup/service on her furnace, she mentioned an issue she was having with her main power connection to her house to the service tech Jordan. Jordan immediately recognized the danger as last winter's ice had completely disconnected ground and also left the main power dangling by a thread. Minuteman Services LLC not only recognized the issue, but got it taken care of both quickly (and correctly) making my Mom's house safe again - and at an ABSOLUTELLY unbeatable price. The honesty, empathy and compassion shown by this company is one that is SECOND to NONE!! I want to personally thank them for the superior job well done!! I highly recommend Minuteman Services LLC for all your HVAC and Electrical service needs!! Thank you again!!
Great to work with and great on follow-up! I had limited time when I did the one-liner above and am now coming back to add more detail. Minuteman did a full HVAC replacement at our home. They did not suggest the full replacement, but I requested it due to the age of our system and the upgrades I wanted. The new system has more functionality with better efficiency and includes a humidifier and an electronic filter. The installers were very professional and respectful in our home. And Travis oversaw the entire process from start to finish including a follow-up software upgrade on our new thermostat. We could not be happier with our new system.
Excellent service!!! Jordan did an amazing job troubleshooting and repairing my furnace. He was timely, professional, and courteous. All of my questions were answered and he took the time to listen to and address all concerns. Very pleased.
Fast response, EXCELLENT service and very affordable pricing 100% recommend!
Jordan came and got our furnace up and running in no time! Professional and knowledgeable. We just started using these guys at the property management company I work for too. Definitely recommend!
Such an awesome team! The promise of great service is easy to get- actually achieving great service - hard to come by these days. FOUND IT! We will be toasty warm this winter THANKS MINUTE MAN TEAM!
Amazing customer service, great to work with! No hidden fees! And very very helpful! Thank you for installing my range hood and gas line!! 🥰🥰🥰
Excellent experience with Minuteman! So happy with my new system. Ultimate professionals. Don’t hesitate!
Very prompt service, extremely knowledgeable staff and courteous interaction.
The employees showed up earlier than scheduled and got right to work. Everything is working wonderfully and they explained everything so I wasn't lost on using new equipment. Definitely would use again. Top recommendations for them. Thanks to all
These guys are great! They respond quickly and are professional. Travis and Jordan were very friendly and informative helping us fix both a blocked drain for the hvac and a gas leak. I would definitely recommend them!
The full experience was exceptional from the beginning starting with them coming out to do an inspection on the furnace for us. They were honest with me letting me know that I could get a little more life out of it but that honesty sold me which led us to an install today. I could not be happier and say enough of how wonderful Minute Man Service is to deal with. Thanks to everyone who was involved!
Had furnace serviced, plus Jordan repaired a gas stove in our basement, one that probably hadn't been running for some time. That took a lot of work, as it had a few problems, thus the reason it hadn't been used in quite a while. Jordan kept us informed as to his schedule and what was needed to get everything up and running. Thanks Jordan!
The men showed up on time and were very courteous. Went straight to work and had the problem fixed in 20 minutes. I was very happy with their work.
Jordan was super friendly and efficient! He did great work and explained everything. Would definitely recommend! We are so thankful for Minute Man services to have found a replacement coil for the AC so we didn’t have to buy a whole new unit yet. Trevor came out quickly after we called asking for a second opinion. He was able to find the leak and helped map out the options we had. He was super friendly and very knowledgeable. I never felt pressure with choosing what option we were given to fix the unit. I was also impress with Jasmine in the office.
Jordan, Matt and Trevor, were great. They were courteous and very professional. They completed needed ducting repair and installed a safety switch. We highly recommend MinuteMan for any HVAC service.
Big shout out to Minuteman Service for installing my new HVAC / heat pump. They were very professional, on time, answered all my questions, and best of all did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend them for any of your heating and cooling needs.
Matt and Matt#2 Aaron and Trevor all did awesome job. They are some real "cool" guys
Minute Man Service installed some mini air conditioning and heating units for us in our addition. They were friendly and professional and performed the work quickly. They also made sure they protected our new carpet from getting dirty which I really appreciate. I would totally recommend them!
Very professional and amazing clean installation, Great job guys, I highly recommend Minueman services to all
Jordan was fabulous! Explained what was going on, fixed the problem with a smile and was just very helpful. Strongly recommend Minuteman Services and I hope your lucky to get Jordan (though I'm sure all the workers are equally as great). Today, Matt and Trevor came out and put in a new filter system for me and they were fabulous! Very nice guys and great work done!
Jordan was super easy to deal with! Listened well to my concerns and was super helpful! Great customer service and quick service as well!
These guys are awesome!! I was having an issue after hours on a Friday evening, and couldn't get anyone out til Monday, but we talked on the phone, and I was able to fix my problem with some " coaching" over the phone. I kept my appointment for Monday, and I was more than pleased with their tech!! He is awesome, and now I am on a bi-annual service plan!! thank you Minuteman
Great experience from start to finish, from initial phone call scheduled for Tuesday, received call back with opening end of day Friday. Travis was great, very familiar with our unit, diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. I highly recommend them!
I had a mini split heating and a/c system installed. Travis, Trenton and Alisa were great! The system was installed, tested and running in just a day and a half. They were neat and careful and answered any questions I had. I would recommend them highly!
Jordan was professional. He was able to get to our AC unit quickly and get it back up and running and we will definitely be using him in the future with our HVAC maintenance and repair needs.
I was able to get a solid hvac system for a great price. They also worked hard and got me scheduled quickly. Jordan made sure everything was perfect on the installation.
Absolutely amazing service. Travis did a great job in fixing our water heater. Went above and beyond. Great communication
If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Jordan was awesome and had the problem diagnosed and fixed ASAP. we will call them every time for HVAC questions and repairs. Vince Wray
Jordan did an amazing job. I got my gas line in record time, in my opinion, with very little sheet rock disturbance. He cleaned up as appropriate. I now have a fully functioning gas cooktop thanks to Jordan. 👍 Side note, Travis fixed a minor thermostat wiring issue, my bad, during consultation for the gas line, free of charge. Win win for me.
Such great customer support and service! Travis did an excellent job with the yearly maintenance of my heater. He found an issue the home inspector missed when I purchased this place and gave me several options on moving forward. Will continue to use this company for yearly maintenance and the new install of heat and air.
Dual fuel heat pump installation done on time. I recommend this company for their professional work.
MinuteMan is always my go to for HVAC and Electrical work. We got a new AC unit and also moved it from beside our back porch to the side of the house. We got 4 bids to do this work. Only MinuteMan was honest about doing this work. We only have a one stage HVAC system. The other quotes ranged from $14,000 to $16,000. They were insistent that I needed two stage or variable stage units. MinuteMan noted that since our system was a single stage system, unless we were also going to replace our entire HVAC system, those other AC units would just run single stage anyways and thus be a complete waste of money. They also were much more knowledgeable about the code and requirements for running the new systems and avoided having to cut into walls and do very expensive work. I validated everything that they said and it was all legit. The AC system that we got was HALF the price of those other systems. The installation was professional and the crew was amazing. The bidding and communication was also amazing. We also had an in-wall dog door that I needed to install and their electrician installed it for us for a very minimal fee and did an amazing job! This wasn't part of the bid or work, they just did it while they were here and helped me out a TON! You really can't go wrong with MinuteMan. EDIT: Thank you to Jordan, Trevor, Matt, Shane, and Jace!
1st time commercial business customer. Called in after my business AC unit went down. Immediately had Jarod pick up the phone, scheduled me in immediately. Its Friday and had me scheduled Monday morning. Great on diagnostic service rate charge. I had called multiple highly rated HVAC companies previously, no one picked up or responded to my service call request, and lost opportunity to help. Give the little guys a chance, and they come through. Minuteman picked up and won my business, and quickly got me on the schedule. Minuteman will be my call moving forward for any needs. Thank you Jarod, and Tyson my service tech coming out quickly Monday to fix me up.
Travis did a great job fixing our leak with our HVAC. He was helpful in in telling me what he did to fix the issue, step by step.
If needed I would call them again without hesitation. Quick, professional and thorough. They fixed my issues and my house is cool again!! Thank you!
They were quick and professional. Pricing was very reasonable and work was done very well.
Excellent service, replied to texts on a weekend night with advice and a few things to try before coming out and fixing the issue!
Very Professional. Excellent service from beginning to end. Definitely the guys to see for HVAC and Electrical. Very satisfied with our Mini Split Heat pump A/C system.
Shoutout to Minuteman Services today for the quick response for my electrical problem. Ted arrived within an hour of me calling and completed the job of repairing an outlet that was giving shocks when touched. …. not good!! Also replaced another switch that was bad and checked another for me!! Great attention to detail and the repair cost was very reasonable! Thank you Ted and Minuteman Services. I will certainly be using them again in the future!!!
These guys are awesome top notch installation very professional I will never use anyone else
Great job on the installation. Electricial guys and the Hvac. Looks great too.
Thanks Shayne for your fast, friendly service. Shayne identified my electrical problem, discussed options and fix the issue in record time! I appreciate your help!
Jordan, Trevor and Jarrod were really helpful installing my mini split
I recently had a heat pump system installed by Jordan and Dylan with Minuteman, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. They took the time to explain all of my options, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and provided a clear and fair estimate. The installation process itself was quick, clean, and affordable. The technicians arrived on time, worked diligently, and treated my home with respect. Now that the heat pump is up and running, I’m already noticing a difference in comfort and energy efficiency. It’s quiet, effective, and exactly what I needed. I would absolutely recommend Minuteman to anyone looking to have a heatpump installed.
Travis and his electrician were prompt, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. They found the problem in my home air conditioner, had the replacement part in their truck and after servicing and total system check I have a functioning system again. The price for parts & labor was less than I expected. I only wish I was able to give them a higher rating than 5. JOB WELL DONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, the Taylor Family.
Travis called before he went and was able to repair unit right there and was very knowledgeable & friendly
I can’t say enough about the way you guys came out really quick and did a great job! Five stars for sure! Thank you! I will be passing along to everyone I know!
Travis from Minute Man took care of our air conditioning problems today. We appreciated his patience in explaining different options and helping us find a good resolution. We will continue to call on them for any of our HVAC needs. I would highly recommend Minute Man and Travis to anybody with HVAC concerns.
These guys were awesome . We had another company come out and work on AC twice with no permanent repair. Minuteman was out to check out our system and had located the issue within an hour. They were fair and honest to deal with. We won’t call anyone else in the future .
Travis was fantastic. He fixed our problem quickly and was very fair with his price. We will most definitely call Minute Man again for help when we need it!
These guys are amazing to work with and helped get me setup with a fantastic AC system after I completely failed to DIY the installation myself. They replaced all my faulty equipment and worked very quickly to get us up and running. I cannot recommend these guys enough!!
Great company from the first call to the completion of installation of new fujitsu split level heating and air unit. Jordan & Dillon were absolutely the best! It's so nice to find honest & knowledgeable people!
We have used Minuteman several times now and every time they have been wonderful to work with both for big major things and for regular maintenance
Always have great service with Minuteman. They are thorough and do a great job. Excellent communication and install. Highly recommend for HVAC, mini splits and chimney service.
Ted did an awesome job taking care of my family by installing a new water heater electric power breaker in order for my family to have hot water. Very professional, fast response and clean work! I highly recommend Minuteman Services LLC. for all your HVAC and electrical needs.
Have dealt with Minuteman several times over the course of a few years. They did three new installs on cabins in Island Park. One of the units had issues through no fault of theirs. However they made several trips up to fix it and finally just installed a new unit at no cost to me. Jared always takes my calls and answers my questions. Great young business with a bright future.
I needed to have my AC system cleaned and serviced 2 years after the Minutemen guys installed it. They also installed a new furnace at that time. They were able to come out quickly and were very friendly and efficient. I was surprised that they came out about 2 days after I called them rather than the week or more I usually have to wait for most service companies. I was impressed with these guys when they installed my system as well as for this service call. I highly recommend them to anyone for furnace and AC installation or service and repair.
Excellent service. I have used them multiple times for electrical and heating needs, and have been able to have someone at our house within a few days, if not same day. Will use again.
They did good work at a very competitive price. Travis‘s communication was great throughout the whole process
These guys go work to solve problems, not just get jobs done. They were great and super transparent about pricing and all the work they were doing. Highly recomend! The owner came himself when we had some hiccups and made sure we were taken care of.
Prompt and professional service. Travis was great at explaining the product and timely on bid and scheduling. Jordan and Dylan were awesome at installation. Highly recommend.
I really appreciate your guy coming here to take care of my furnace. He was kind, helpful, and took care of the problem in a short amount of time. I would recommend your services to any. Thank you so much!
We had to replace an outdated heating system. Jordan, Travis and Dillion were awesome. Great customer service. They also helped us get a rebate through our power company. Highly recommended.
Competent. Priced fairly. Professional. Can't say enough good about these guys.
Electric Panel Upgrade in Idaho Falls, ID
Minuteman Services performs electric panel upgrades in Idaho Falls, ID to meet today’s electrical demands. Many older homes still use panels with limited capacity or outdated components. These panels are not built to support modern appliances, HVAC systems, or EV chargers. Signs that you may need an upgrade include frequently tripped breakers, dimming lights, or buzzing sounds near the panel. Our licensed electricians inspect your current system, calculate load requirements, and recommend a panel that fits your needs. We handle the full process from permit to installation, including replacing breakers and labeling circuits. You get a clean, organized, and code compliant panel that supports safe and steady power throughout your home.
Upgrading your panel also improves home safety and property value. Outdated panels can pose a fire risk due to poor connections, corrosion, or undersized wiring. Some panels from past decades have been recalled or are no longer approved under current electrical code. Minuteman Services replaces these panels with high quality, reliable systems built for long term performance. We install breakers with proper amperage ratings, upgrade grounding systems, and verify that all circuits are correctly routed. Our team tests the panel before restoring full power and walks you through the completed setup. You receive documentation of the work and peace of mind knowing your home is protected by a modern electrical system.
Upgrading your electric panel is one of the most important electrical improvements you can make in your home. Many homes in Idaho Falls still have panels installed decades ago that are not built for today’s appliances and devices. These older panels often have 100-amp capacity or less, which is not enough for modern HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, or electric vehicle chargers. When the panel is overloaded, it causes circuit breakers to trip, appliances to run poorly, or even sparks and fire risks. Minuteman Services installs new electric panels with increased capacity, better protection, and proper spacing for future upgrades. We make sure each new panel meets code and supports the total power load of the home. Our team provides detailed load calculations, circuit mapping, and professional installation for long term safety.
A panel upgrade is also necessary during major remodels or when building additions to your home. Adding new rooms, an attached garage, or a finished basement often requires additional circuits. The original panel may not have space for more breakers or the capacity to handle the extra load. Minuteman Services helps homeowners plan for current and future electrical needs by installing panels with extra room for expansion. This avoids the cost of multiple panel upgrades over time and keeps your system safe. We also install subpanels when needed to support detached buildings or large additions. Each part of the system is clearly labeled for safety and ease of maintenance. Our goal is to give you a well-organized system built to grow with your property.
Many older panels include outdated or dangerous components that are no longer approved under modern safety codes. Brands such as Zinsco or Federal Pacific have known failure risks due to breaker design flaws and poor internal construction. These panels often fail to trip breakers in the event of a short, which increases fire risk. Minuteman Services replaces these panels with modern units that feature thermal protection, arc fault circuit interrupters, and improved grounding. We also update the service entrance, meter base, and grounding rods if they are not up to current standards. Our electricians handle the full job from disconnect to reconnection with safety as the top priority. You get a fully upgraded electrical system with better reliability and reduced hazards.
Minuteman Services provides electric panel upgrades that include full permits and inspection scheduling. Our team ensures that all work is inspected by the local building authority and meets current National Electrical Code requirements. We coordinate with utility companies when service disconnects or meter upgrades are required. Throughout the process, we keep your power interruptions as short as possible. After installation, we walk you through the layout of the new panel, explain each circuit, and provide a detailed service record. We use high quality panels and breakers from trusted brands to ensure durability and long term performance. You receive a safe and efficient system that meets all required codes and serves your property for years to come.
An upgraded electric panel also increases home value and can lower insurance risks. Home buyers and insurers often request panel inspections and prefer homes with modern systems. Upgrading your panel before selling or refinancing your home can lead to faster approvals and better offers. In addition, many electrical upgrades qualify for energy efficiency rebates or financing programs. Minuteman Services helps you explore your options and provides documentation for any rebate applications. Our electricians work cleanly, complete jobs on time, and answer all your questions before and after installation. We take pride in delivering service that is safe, professional, and built to last. Trust our Idaho Falls team for electric panel upgrades that improve safety, reliability, and value.

Most Common Electric Panel Upgrade Questions
An electric panel upgrade is essential for improving safety and increasing electrical capacity. Modern appliances, HVAC systems, and EV chargers require more power than older panels can safely handle. Minuteman Services installs new panels that meet code, reduce fire risk, and support long term electrical demands.
There are several warning signs that your electrical panel may need to be replaced. Breakers that trip frequently, visible rust or corrosion, and burning smells near the panel are all signs of a problem. If you hear buzzing or see melted wires, those are signs of dangerous electrical issues. Older panels often cannot handle the power needs of new appliances or added circuits. If your home still uses a panel from the 1970s or earlier, it may not meet today’s safety standards. Some panels, including Federal Pacific and Zinsco models, have a history of breaker failure and should be replaced as soon as possible. Our electricians inspect your panel and explain what is safe and what needs to be upgraded.
Minuteman Services performs full panel evaluations to look for overloaded circuits, poor connections, and undersized wires. We test each breaker, inspect grounding, and check for code compliance. If a replacement is needed, we provide a clear plan, including the panel type and upgraded components. We also explain what new circuits or additional protection may be required. Our work meets current National Electrical Code standards and is approved through the proper inspection process. Upgrading your panel improves both safety and system reliability. You also prepare your home for future electrical needs like solar panels, hot tubs, or electric vehicles.
Upgrading your panel also helps reduce insurance risk and increases home value. Many insurance companies look for modern electrical panels when reviewing coverage. A new panel shows buyers and inspectors that your home is up to date. Minuteman Services makes the process easy by handling permits, scheduling inspections, and providing detailed documentation. You get a clean, labeled, and future-ready panel installed by licensed electricians. If you are unsure about your panel’s condition, book a professional inspection with our team.
A full electric panel upgrade includes more than just swapping out the old panel. It often starts with a load calculation to determine how much power your home actually needs. Minuteman Services uses this calculation to recommend the correct panel size for your property. We remove the old panel, disconnect the service lines, and safely install a new panel with modern breakers. This includes labeling each circuit, checking wire gauge, and updating grounding systems. If your main service line or meter base also needs to be replaced, we can handle that as part of the upgrade. Our team follows all local and national codes and secures all necessary permits.
During installation, our electricians also check for damaged wires or circuits that need replacement. We look for signs of overheating, overloading, or worn insulation. If needed, we run new circuits to safely power heavy appliances or new additions. Our team installs breakers with the right amperage rating and includes arc fault and surge protection where required. Every circuit is tested before we restore full power. Once installed, we explain how the panel is organized and give you a full report of the work. This helps with future upgrades or service.
Minuteman Services makes the process smooth by managing the entire project from start to finish. We coordinate with utility companies when service disconnects or meter upgrades are required. We also keep you informed every step of the way and avoid delays. Our work is backed by licensed electricians and built for long term performance. A full panel upgrade improves your home’s safety and electrical reliability for years to come.
Yes, Minuteman Services offers emergency electric panel repair and replacement. If your panel is overheating, sparking, or showing signs of failure, you need professional help fast. Our electricians respond to power loss, burnt breakers, and other urgent panel issues. We start by safely disconnecting power and checking for the source of the failure. If repair is possible, we replace damaged breakers or tighten connections. If the panel is too far gone or poses a safety risk, we install a new unit with modern breakers. Emergency service is available for homeowners experiencing system failure, safety hazards, or complete power loss.
Our team brings the tools and parts needed to handle most panel emergencies on the spot. We verify the integrity of each circuit and confirm that your home can safely receive power again. If a full replacement is needed, we explain the work clearly and give you financing options when available. Every emergency panel service includes a complete safety check to prevent future issues. We document the work and follow code requirements for all repairs and replacements. Our focus is on restoring power while keeping your home safe.
Minuteman Services understands how disruptive a failed panel can be. That is why we treat emergency calls with urgency and professionalism. We work fast, communicate clearly, and never leave a job unfinished. Our team is trained to resolve electrical emergencies safely and efficiently. When your panel fails, contact our Idaho Falls electricians for expert emergency help.
Yes, upgrading your electric panel is often necessary when installing an EV charger, hot tub, or other high-demand appliances. These systems require dedicated circuits and additional capacity that older panels cannot support. If your panel is full or underpowered, it can lead to tripping breakers or unstable performance. Minuteman Services evaluates your panel to see if it can safely handle the added load. If not, we recommend and install a panel with enough space and capacity for new circuits. We make sure the new setup meets safety standards and allows future expansion. Every upgrade is custom planned based on your home’s layout and power needs.
Our electricians also plan wiring routes, breaker sizes, and panel location to fit your installation goals. For EV chargers, we install a dedicated 240-volt circuit with proper wire gauge and surge protection. For hot tubs, we install GFCI-protected circuits with weather-rated enclosures as required by code. These new circuits connect cleanly to your upgraded panel, ensuring safe and stable operation. We label every circuit and provide documentation for future maintenance or inspection. Your system is safe, efficient, and ready for long term use.
Minuteman Services makes it easy to prepare your home for new high-demand electrical systems. We work with you from the planning phase through final inspection. We help future-proof your home with added capacity and smart panel layouts. You will be ready for any upgrades with a system that meets all safety and code requirements. Let our Idaho Falls team handle your panel upgrade and installation with expert care.
The size of your electrical panel depends on your total power usage and any future upgrades you plan to make. Most modern homes need at least a 200-amp panel to support HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, laundry machines, and home electronics. If you plan to add an EV charger, hot tub, or workshop, you may need more capacity. Our electricians at Minuteman Services calculate your load requirements during an inspection. We measure the demand of each room, circuit, and appliance to determine the safest and most efficient panel size. Choosing the right panel size helps avoid overload, improves power reliability, and reduces wear on your electrical system. Undersized panels can lead to tripped breakers, overheating wires, and limited space for new circuits.
Minuteman Services installs panels that support current and future needs. We help homeowners avoid repeat upgrades by recommending panels with extra capacity. Even if you do not need all the power today, planning ahead saves money in the long run. Each installation includes code compliant labeling, updated grounding, and new breakers rated to match the wire and devices on each circuit. We also inspect your existing wiring and offer to upgrade it if it does not meet safety standards. This gives you a system that works better and lasts longer. The correct panel size also increases home value and lowers insurance risk.
Our team explains every detail and never installs more capacity than you need. We show you the results of the load calculation and give you the best options available. If needed, we install subpanels for detached garages, additions, or high-demand equipment. We follow national and local code to ensure the final result is fully approved. With the right size panel, you avoid power interruptions and safety issues. Our goal is to give you a panel that fits your home, your needs, and your future upgrades.
A modern electrical panel typically lasts between 25 and 40 years, depending on the brand, usage, and environment. Panels installed by licensed electricians using high-quality materials last longer and perform better. Minuteman Services only installs panels from trusted manufacturers with strong safety records. We ensure proper breaker sizing, secure connections, and clean circuit layouts to help your panel operate at peak efficiency. Proper installation extends the life of the system and prevents early wear. Regular maintenance, such as tightening terminals and inspecting for corrosion, also helps extend the panel’s usable life. A well-maintained panel stays safer and works better over time.
The lifespan of a panel may be shortened by moisture, heat, poor ventilation, or overloaded circuits. Homes with outdated wiring or frequent surges can put stress on the breakers and internal parts. Minuteman Services installs panels with built-in protections like surge protection and arc fault interrupters to reduce long term damage. We also offer service plans to inspect your panel regularly and catch signs of wear before they cause a failure. During every visit, our electricians check for signs of aging like rust, heat damage, or faulty breakers. These small issues can be repaired early to keep the system in top condition. Routine care improves lifespan and helps avoid major repairs.
If your panel is reaching the end of its lifespan, we help you plan for a smooth replacement. We assess the condition and give you a clear estimate for upgrading to a safer, higher capacity model. Our team explains all of your options and helps you choose the best solution for your property. With Minuteman Services, you get a panel that is built to last and properly maintained. This protects your home and ensures stable power for decades.
Yes, all electric panel upgrades require permits and inspections to comply with state and local building codes. This process ensures the work is done safely, correctly, and in full compliance with current regulations. Minuteman Services handles all permitting and inspection coordination for you. Our licensed electricians submit the proper paperwork and follow approved plans during installation. After the work is complete, we schedule an official inspection with the local authority. The inspector checks grounding, breaker sizing, wire connections, and code compliance. Once approved, the permit is closed and your upgrade is fully documented.
Permits are not optional and skipping this step can cause major problems. Unpermitted work may fail future home inspections or cause insurance issues. If a fire or electrical fault occurs, insurance companies may deny claims for unapproved installations. Minuteman Services protects your home and investment by following every required step. We also keep a record of the work so you have proof of compliance for refinancing, insurance, or resale. Our work is neat, labeled, and easy to inspect, making approvals faster and smoother. We work closely with local officials to make sure everything is up to code.

Yes, upgrading your electric panel can help reduce or eliminate power surges, flickering lights, and voltage fluctuations. These symptoms often come from overloaded circuits, poor connections, or panels that are no longer operating correctly. Older panels may not provide consistent power or may have worn out breakers that cannot handle demand. Minuteman Services replaces aging panels with modern units that distribute electricity more evenly. We also install breakers with accurate ratings to match your devices and prevent small surges. New panels include better grounding and surge protection for added safety. This reduces stress on your appliances and extends their lifespan.
Flickering lights are often caused by circuits that are overused or wires that are loose inside the panel. Our electricians inspect every connection, tighten terminals, and upgrade wires if needed. A properly installed panel eliminates many of the small power issues that affect lighting, electronics, and HVAC systems. We also balance the load across multiple circuits to prevent overuse in one area. If voltage drops are an issue, we can install dedicated lines or subpanels for heavy appliances. These changes improve performance and reduce wear on your electrical system. You get more stable, reliable power throughout the home.
Minuteman Services helps diagnose the cause of flickering or surging and offers permanent solutions. A panel upgrade is one of the best ways to address these problems. You get better power delivery, fewer breaker trips, and a lower risk of fire or damage. Our work is clean, tested, and backed by years of professional experience. If your power has been unstable, schedule an inspection with our team today. We will help you decide if a panel upgrade is the right fix.
