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 We replace outdated panels with modern systems built for safety, performance, and increased power needs.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 Our electricians replace outdated panels with new models that support higher amperage and additional circuits.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.

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We had to replace an outdated heating system.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.

Jordan and crew fixed my mini-split leak quickly and got me running again before summer hits. They were professional and communicated well. Their pricing was very competitive - nearly 1/3 the cost that one of their competitors quoted me for the same repair. Would definitely call them back for future work!

Minuteman Services are very efficient, explained what the job entailed and completed it well. Appreciated timely service, knowledge and efficiency!

Called on a late Saturday and got an immediate response from Shane. He helped me trouble shoot and saved me big money, fixed our eletrical problem. Cannot say thank you enough!!!

Our furnace went out, and Travis and the team were able to quickly get over and give us an estimate on a repair and a replacement. (As a courtesy, they even have a lock box with space heaters if you need to get through a night or two without heat.) We ended up not only replacing the furnace, but adding central air as well. They were able to get it done in 2 days, and the system is super quiet and distributes the heat and A/C really nicely. They even added an outlet to the outside of the house, which is great because we didn't have any before! There was a small issue about where the furnace was venting out. We have an enclosed deck, and it was just venting out onto the deck. Despite not being in the bid, they routed the vent out to the side so that we wouldn't be breathing in any more exhaust/CO! However, it didn't look as clean as it could be the first time they did it, and we had some suggestions to make it look better that Travis fully supported and said that they would take care of (even though it was like an additional project in the first place). They redid it with a good attitude, and it looks really clean now! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Minuteman! Even got this nice red hoodie as an appreciation gift 😀

Excellent Service Top Notch Service Jason And Dillon And Crew Very Experienced A Jop Well Done Thank You All So Very Much. Brian Ruth Kidder

We had Minuteman retrofit our main ductwork to make the air distribution more efficient and eliminate "hot spots." The crew was professional and efficient. I'm very pleased with their work. I recommend them without reservation!

You guys were great. Best customer service I've had in a while always returned your calls and worked with you as far as financing and did a great job in a timely manner would 100% recommend them.

Minuteman lives up to their name! Called before they showed up, arrived on time and provided an same-day estimate for a furnace replacement. Again, called and showed up on time on the day of the replacement, and finished within the promised time. Talked through the operation/maintenance of the new unit and maintenance plans and made sure all questions were answered. ...and the price could not be beat (less than half of some others!) I'd give them 10 stars if I could!

Quick to respond and very reasonable and thorough. I've had them do a few things and they've done it with great quality.

My furnace went out while it was -5° outside and Minuteman was able to be there quickly and get it running fast! Other companies that have looked at my furnace in the past have said it’s past its life expectancy and that I need replace it, but Minuteman took the time to make repairs and explain proper maintenance to try to get more life out of my older furnace! They never once mentioned a replacement.

This company provided incredible service. They came to our home quickly to inspect our furance, which in the end did need replaced. The employee who came to our home was so helpful and informative with each step of the process. The next day, employees came to install the new furnace and worked diligently and thoroughly. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing furance/HVAC needs. I will definitely be a return customer.

Travis was excellent in finding out what was wrong with a furnace he was checking out for me! I would use Minuteman anytime! They are great people.

My daughter’s cadet heater stopped working after smoking and they came same day to diagnose and replace the unit. Thank you for caring for our family in a timely manner!

Jason and Trevor were very friendly and knowledgeable in replacing our furnace. Highly recommended.

Minuteman Services go the extra mile to do all they can to help! Jarrod and Travis were fantastic! They were very efficient and quick to come out to fix the problem. I highly recommend these guys. They know what they're doing. Thank you!

What an amazing team of people! They work so hard to take care of their clients. They got my furnace replaced quickly so that I could keep myself and my dogs warm in the middle winter. Thank you!

The guys at Minute Man are the best. Very professional and knowledgeable I highly recommend them.

I was tight for time and they scheduled me in. Huge help. And the tech they sent was professional, personable and quick. These folks get the nod for all HVAC related work in the future.

Our whole family in the area uses Minuteman Services! From electrical work to HVAC work. We just had them install two brand new heating systems on Dec 12 & 13th 2024. The AC systems will be installed in the spring. Very professional and willing to answer all my questions. Their workers were very respectful of the house when they did the install putting down floor protectant and cleaning up everything.

I was very pleased with the thorough evaluation and repair that Travis provided. In the future, I will contact your company and request Travis. Thank you!

They were very helpful, explained the wiring problems and went above and beyond in getting the parts we needed. They were polite, respectful of our home, and diligently cleaned up after their work. I appreciated very all their hard work.

They did an excellent job in diagnosing and repairing the two issues we had. They were courteous and tidy during their visit. I would definately use them again.

Timely and professional. Stayed to get the job done during the holidays. Would recommend.

All the guys at minute man services did a great job at our place. we were impressed with thier professional job they did for us. They all were courteous and punctual. They cleaned up too!! I would recommend then highly. Thank you again.

They service anything from small jobs to big jobs. Extremely hard to find a company that will do a small electrical job. These guys do it all. Fast,friendly service for a reasonable price. Highly recommend this company for your electrical needs and service 👏.

I was having an issue with a breaker and these folks did a great job fixing it. Ted pinpointed the problem and Shane and crew came out and fixed it. I highly recommend this company!

We were very impressed in the timely manner that Minuteman serviced our furnace! They were very helpful and answered all of our questions. We will be calling them again!

Great service, did exactly what they said they would do and got the new furnace installed.

Ted did some electrical work for us, was super responsive on the phone and helped me trouble shoot multiple issues that were 100% my ignorance not any fault of the work he did. He also made some thoughtful suggestions to improve the ideas we had. Update Dec 2024: I needed electrical work done on a new home after moving and Minuteman came through again! They were on time, had good ideas to help me get all the outlets i needed and were diligent about making sure I had everything done to my satisfaction. Great crew. Great service.

These guys always do great work and respond right away. Highly recommend for all HVAC needs

Great company. Travis communicated well, showed up when he said he would, offered a timely appointment and options to proactively care for my equipment going forward. That was a painless service call- broken heater experience! Thank you.

Minuteman's electricians are awesome. I needed help with some breakers that were constantly flipping. They were able to quickly identify the issue and gave me several options on what to do. Their bid was in range of what I would expect that kind of repair to take. They were very professional, on time, and patient with all my questions so I can be a better informed homeowner. 5/5. I highly recommend them!

Fast. Good work. Great prices. They are great to work with. Highly recommend

This Crew did an amazing job that came through and did what they needed to do showed me after what they did and cleaned up everything after themselves and sat and explained and had asked us if we had any questions or if we need anything

Justin and Jarod ROCK!!...AND TRAVIS 😉 Sorry Travis, for some reason I keep mistaking you for a Justin. Travis, ROCKS!!! It is so good to have our furnace up and running again. Great work and fair price. Will be wanting a complete furnace upgrade through Minuteman. Cannot say enough positive things about this company.

Jarrod was the absolute best. He came and fixed our issue with our heat. He was fast and he did an amazing just. 10/10 service. Ask for Jarrod he did the best service and was professional.

Very responsive and gave me great customer service! They were able to get out there the same day and fix my furnace. Highly recommend 👍

We used Minuteman Services to do an annual service on the HVAC system in our office. They were very easy to work with and did a great job. Their fees were not exorbitant either! They didn't waste time, explained things to me and offered to set up a maintenance plan for winter and summer. I would highly recommend them for both home and office HVAC needs.

Minuteman was great. Very responsive and flexible, timely delivery, made the whole swap-out a complete breeze. Highly recommend.

My main reason for replacing my old HVAC system is to save money on my high electrical bill. Minute Man Service did an outstanding job replacing my 20 year old HVAC system and replaced it with a more efficient HVAC system that includes a 2 stage a/c & thermostat. Jarrod Mount was the tech who removed the old system and installed the new system. Jarrod was also the person who came to my house and submitted the bid I could not reject because of the very reasonable price. I therefore give Minuteman Services my highest recommendation.

This is best I've worked with. Affordable, knowledgeable, friendly and professional! I will definitely call on them again. Thank you guys.

Ted and his crew came on time, established their plan of action, ran wiring through the crawlspace to exterior conduit and heat cables on the roof, ensured they left no trash or tracks in spite of the rain and carefully explained how to use the system before they left. A superb job by a group of professionals!

Great service. Friendly, detail oriented and very professional. A great company for your electrical needs. I will use this company again and again.

I had the best experience with Jarrod, Shane and the Minuteman Services crew. They were honest, reliable & professional to work with. They installed a cadet heater, sub panel, washer & dryer plugs as well as interior and exterior lights in our Shed. They even helped me choose the fixtures which I appreciated! They completed the entire job within one day making sure they did not interrupt our renters at our Cabin which was very thoughtful. Can't wait to work with them again!

Very prompt service, extremely knowledgeable staff and courteous interaction.

Travis was very polite, knowledgeable, and efficient. He explained Contracts for service and we were pleased with no hidden costs. We’re confident we’ll get what we pay for.

Minuteman services was amazing! They provided a quote for my furnace replacement, answered all of my questions, and provided wonderful communication. The day they installed my new furnace, they were very kind and did a great job. If you need a new furnace, this is the service to use! Thank you Minuteman Services!

My husband and I just opened a new business, and needed some last minute electrical work done before we could open. Minute Man was able to get there very quickly and help us with what we needed for a reasonable price. I definitely recommend them!

We used them for an electrical problem in a mobile home. They were very quick on finding the problem and getting it fixed. Price was very fair! Highly recommend them!

Minuteman services did a fantastic job installing the electrical in our basement. They were quick to respond and schedule us. The communication was great as well during the install. We were never left wondering if or when something would be done. They gave clear timelines and stuck to them. The company was very honest and reasonable.

Ted and Shane did excellent work upsizing my electrical panel and connecting the heat tape for my gutters. They are both easy to talk to and very professional. I highly recommend their work to anyone.

Always an excellent job. These guys are professionals and know what they are doing. And we can always count on them.

Great experience with this company. First of all honesty and integrity, I appreciated his friendliness, communication, he was on time, even had it done before he thought it would be. Definitely would recommend them. Local Family owned and operated was also a plus for me. Sitting here in my nice cool house on a hot day! Thanks MinuteMan Services!

My air conditioner quit working. Called Minuteman Services the next morning and they showed up by noon and had the issue resolved within the hour. Great customer service, and quick response time.

These guys are amazing, excellent technicians and fair prices. you guys rock!!!

Completely recommend Minuteman Services. We have had them repair our AC unit at a much more reasonable price than competitors. Most recently they have done annual maintenance on our AC unit and furnace. The techs and the owners are honest, prompt, courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable and won’t try to sell you unnecessary services. I will call them every time for our HVAC needs.

Jarrod and his team are amazing and very professional and transparent. Highly recommended for all your service needs!!

Minutemen services was fantastic to work with! We had to replace our furnace and our ac. They were quick and efficient and definitely had a much more reasonable price than some other companies that are around town. Highly recommend them to anyone.

Always makes our tenants a priority and is very friendly and knowledgeable. These guy are my go to for any HVAC or Electrical needs!

Ted and his team did an excellent job in installing the electrical wirings and connection for my heat tape. I highly recommend him.

Friendly. On-time. Work was done right. Reasonable prices. Can't go wrong with the locally owned Minutemen!

During the last repair of our AC unit, we spoke with Minuteman about the eventual replacement of our AC unit. Unfortunately, that happened sooner rather than later (no fault of Minute Service) and they were able to give us an accurate quote, without having to come back, because they had taken some detailed notes and photos the previous service visit. They provided a fair and reasonable quote and even offered to help provide some temporary measures to ensure we had some relief from the hottest temps of the summer so far. Great work, they protected the area they were working from damage and kept me informed of the status. Highly recommend Minuteman Service for any of your HVAC needs

We used Minuteman to service our furnace and to fix a few electrical issues we had to address before selling. Communication and scheduling were great, I was able to get someone to my home within the same week. I felt they were very knowledgeable and efficient; I also feel that I paid a fair price for the service. I would highly recommend for any electrical or HVAC needs.

I can not say enough positive things about this service! Travis was extremely professional- always kept us informed on status via a quick text update, the price was extremely reasonable and the service was much quicker than we expected during a very busy season! Give them a call- you won’t regret it!

Travis was AMAZING. Showed up early, was so kind, responsive, and taught as he went. His prices were so fair! You have a customer for life!

I had a fire at my house due to my AC and needed electrical. I was recommended Minuteman Services by a co-worker. I am so glad she did. Jarrod got someone out to get me a quote same day. When I was ready for the repairs, I called Ted and he set me up the next day. Everyone we have come in contact with has been very nice and understanding. Their prices are amazing too. I will be using Minuteman Services for all my HVAC and electrical needs from now on.

Amazing service, outstanding work by Travis. Affordable prices. I’ll be using them again in the near future

Super friendly, easy to work with. They were in and out. Great communication

Jordan and Aiden were amazing. The customer service was exceptional and they definitely went the extra mile for me and my business! I Highly recommend them!

Great Service and great job on all their jobs they did for us!! I recommend them highly!!

I am a Senior so having a company like Minute Man do repairs & installations with such professionalism & caring was an extremely positive experience. Dylan, Devon & Travis are an outstanding team of workers. When they left I had no questions because they explained & went over everything. As well as the clean up, it was as if no one had been here. Thank you!

Travis was quick to respond to our request for assistance in setting up a new mini-split system. The team was very good to work with and their installation was clean and quick. They were able to finish in 3 days after projecting 4 days originally. They were very good to communicate alterations that were necessary and include us in the decision. The team was considerate of our schedule and made sure we were pleased with the end product, which we are.

Ted was great when I called to schedule and followed up the day of service. Shane called to let me know he was on the way and did a great job. He even cleaned up behind himself, the only way you could tell he was there, was the excellent job done. All around great experience and fair price. Thank you so much.

I filled out a request online and they contacted me that same day. They showed up the next day to do a bid and started the job the following business day! They did a great job, were affordable, professional and courteous! I would highly recommend Minuteman Services for your electrical work!

We had minute man services replace our furnace, I am very pleased with their work! Definitely will be recommending to family/friends.

I needed help with my furnace in a hurry and had no idea who to trust. A friend recommended Minute Man and they were great! Timely, professional, quality service for a good price. I highly recommend them to others!

We had Minuteman do some electrical work for us recently, running new ethernet cable for security cameras. Shayne was very responsive, prompt, friendly, and did a great job. Definitely recommend them!

Minuteman came out to replace our heaters, put in new ventilation fans, and install a heating/AC unit. They were very respectful, friendly, and even took time to play fetch with our dog. They were alway here when they said they would be, and called each time to let us know they were on their way. They took care to treat our home like their own. They took precautions to keep things clean, and left the floors and things as clean or cleaner than when they got here. Can not recommend them enough!!!

Contacted me back very quickly after waiting over a year for a previous company to show up. They were quick and professional. Awesome work. Jordan and devyn did amazing
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.

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.
Our team walks you through the process and answers any questions about what is required. We believe in doing the job the right way from start to finish. Permits and inspections add time to the process, but they protect you, your family, and your property. You can count on Minuteman Services for code compliant, fully approved panel upgrades in Idaho Falls. Trust us to handle every step professionally and legally.
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.
