Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades
From a tired 60 amp service to a clean, labeled 200 amp panel. We handle the whole job ourselves, from the first look to the last label. Call (574) 404-1973.
Your Panel Is the Heart of the House
The service panel is where every wire in your home begins. When it is old, undersized, or full of fuses, the whole house feels it. We replace outdated service with clean, modern panels sized for how you actually live.
A lot of homes around South Bend still run on 60 or 100 amp service, or on a fuse box that was put in when the house was built. It worked fine for a smaller house with fewer appliances. It does not cut it once you add a microwave, an air conditioner, an electric oven, and a charger in the garage.
A panel upgrade is not just about more breakers. It is about a service that can carry the load you put on it today without tripping, dimming, or running hot. We pull the old box, set a clean new panel, land every wire in the right place, and label the door so you never have to guess again.
We do the work ourselves. We walk the job first, look at what you run and what you plan to add, and give you a straight price before a single wire moves. The layout gets mapped carefully and coordinated with the utility company so the day we install, the meter base, the service wire, and the panel all line up.
When we are done, you have a panel you can read. Every breaker is labeled. The wires are landed clean. The door closes flat. That is how a panel upgrade is supposed to look, and it is how we leave every one of them.
Signs It Is Time for a New Panel
You do not have to know the amps to know something is off. If any of this sounds familiar, it is worth a look.
- Breakers trip when you turn on the microwave and the toaster at the same time.
- Your panel still has screw in fuses or a push button setup from decades ago.
- Lights dim or flicker when the AC, oven, or hair dryer kicks on.
- You added a finished basement, a big shop, or an ADU and the old service is too small.
- An inspector or buyer flagged the panel during a home sale.
- You can hear a faint buzz or see scorch marks inside the panel.

How We Approach a Panel Upgrade
No two houses are the same, so we plan before we pull wire. Here is what every upgrade gets, from the first walk through to the last label.
Right sized for your house, not a guess.
We look at what you actually run today and what you plan to add, then size the service so you are not back here in two years doing it over.
Coordinated with the utility.
Every layout is mapped carefully and coordinated with the utility company, so the meter base, the service wire, and the panel all match up the day we install.
Labeled before we leave.
Every circuit gets labeled on the door. No more flipping breakers to figure out which one runs the kitchen or the back bedroom.
A straight price up front.
You get the number before we start. If a trip or diagnostic fee was needed to troubleshoot, that fee is credited back toward the job when you hire L&L.
Often Goes Hand in Hand
A panel upgrade opens the door to a few other jobs. Here is where they usually pair up.
