If your home still runs on a 100-amp panel, a fuse box, or an old Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, an upgrade isn't just a convenience — it's a safety upgrade. We replace tired service equipment with modern 200-amp panels that handle today's loads: heat pumps, EV chargers, hot tubs, induction ranges, and shop equipment.
We've been doing electrical panel upgrade work across Newport and Cocke County for years. From Downtown Newport, Cosby, Hartford to the surrounding communities, we know the local housing stock, the local code officials, and the utility companies that serve Newport, TN. That means faster permits, cleaner installs, and zero surprises.
