Panel Upgrades & Electrical Service

Many Pinole homes built in the 1960s–1980s have 100-amp service panels that are now undersized for modern appliances and EV chargers. We upgrade aging panels to 200-amp service, add subpanels for remodels, and ensure your home can handle today's electrical demands without constant breaker trips.

Why Local Expertise Matters in Pinole

Understanding Pinole Home Age & Electrical Codes
