Panel Upgrade · Lee Vining, California
An electrical panel upgrade in Lee Vining is usually the fix when your home keeps outgrowing its service: an EV charger, a heat pump, a kitchen remodel or a second AC unit all pull more than an older board was built for. We handle 100 amp to 200 amp upgrades, breaker box replacement and fuse box removal throughout Lee Vining, California.
Scope of work
Whether you searched for electrical panel upgrade Lee Vining, electrical panel replacement Lee Vining or simply electrician near me, this is the crew that turns up. We work across Lee Vining and the neighbouring California towns, and we give you the price for the described work before anything starts.
How it goes
Tell us what is happening and where. Emergencies get triaged on the phone — sometimes the first thing we do is tell you which breaker to shut off before we arrive.
We open the panel, test the affected circuits and tell you what is actually wrong, including the parts you would rather not hear.
One number for the work described, before it starts. Options where there are options — the repair now versus the replacement that stops it recurring.
We do the job, label the circuits, clean the space and walk you through what changed and what to watch for.
Reviews
Storm took out our weatherhead. Ascot got the temporary sorted the same afternoon and the permanent repair inspected within the week.
Ceiling fans in four bedrooms, none of which had fan-rated boxes. They braced every one properly instead of just hanging them off the old box.
Called at 11pm with half the house dead and a smell coming off the panel. Someone answered, and a van was outside by half midnight. Found a burnt neutral, isolated it that night and came back Tuesday to do it properly.
Questions
It depends on whether the meter, service entrance and grounding all get replaced alongside the panel, and on what the utility requires at your address. We price it after looking at the existing service — panel-only swaps sit at the low end, full 100 to 200 amp service upgrades with a new meter-main at the high end.
Most residential panel upgrades in Lee Vining are a one-day job with the power off for a good part of it. Where the utility has to disconnect and reconnect the service drop, the schedule follows their availability, which we coordinate.
If you are adding an EV charger, a heat pump, a second AC unit or an ADU, usually yes. If you are simply replacing an obsolete panel and your load is unchanged, a like-for-like service can be enough. We run the load calculation rather than guessing.
Almost always, once you are doing any meaningful work. Fuse boxes cap capacity, have no AFCI or GFCI protection at the board, and complicate insurance and resale on Lee Vining homes.
Yes, including knob and tube and aluminium branch-circuit replacement. We rewire Lee Vining homes in stages so you keep power in the rooms you are living in, and we work with your schedule rather than shutting the house down for a week.
