Service Panel Upgrades & Repairs

Keeping your service panel up-to-date is important as the electrical needs of our devices change. If your panel is 20 years or older, you should have it looked at. If your panel is made by Federal Pacific, it should be replaced as these panels are responsible for 2400 fires per year. GRT Electric of Long Beach, California, can provide both service panel upgrades and panel repairs.

Why Upgrade Or Repair?

Over time, the current traveling through your service panel can wear the materials. Older panels will wear down, pit, and eventually have electrical arcs. These arcs can cause fires or bodily harm. Additionally, new devices have different power requirements than old devices, and an upgraded panel can help ensure that your modern home has the power it needs and even help you save power. Today’s panels have more dedicated circuits because modern homes have more devices and require more power. Keeping up with that demand requires newer panels that can handle the loads.

How To Tell If You Need Panel Work

Take a look at the front of your panel and see if it looks new. Next, look in the panel for dust and dirt. If you see debris or the panel looks aged, you may need a new panel or panel repairs. Our team can take a look at the breakers and other components to ensure they’re in good order. You can prolong the life of your breaker box by making a habit of flipping breakers off and on once a year.

When you call us to look at your panel, we’ll schedule an appointment. Once we’ve had a chance to inspect your panel, we’ll make an honest recommendation about whether you should simply have some minor work done or go for a full service panel upgrade. You’ll know everything that needs to be done, including an estimate of the final cost. If you accept our estimate, we’ll setup a date to begin and arrive promptly to get the job done.

Our electricians provide panel upgrades and repair, run power for Jacuzzis, lighting, outlets, install electric car charging stations, and other electrical services. We also offer full-service electrical troubleshooting and repair services any time you’re having electrical troubles for all residential and light commercial clients.

Had them upgrade my main panel and solar for my house. What a top notch job they did, on the day of main panel they ran into problems, even as it got dark out they kept working to get the power back on. About 9:30, 12 hours after starting he got the lights back on, then called it a day, then next day at 7am they where back to finish up. Truly a 10 star company

I’ve used GRT Electric on several occasions and couldn’t be happier! Rich is great at his profession and is very sensitive to his customer’s needs. Because I live in a home built in 1914, Rich took extra steps to ensure that there was no possibility of issues. After Rich upgraded my electrical panel, I’ve had him back twice to install two car chargers. I highly recommend GRT Electric for ALL your electrical needs.

If you need an electrician, call Rich. He is responsive, knows his stuff, does the job right the first time and provides great value. He has done two jobs for me. He fixed some minor electrical issues at my home, then did a major job at my work replacing over 100 light florscent fixtures with led fixtures. This resulted in much improved lighting and lower electrical costs. We couldn't be happier and will contact him the next time we have a need.

GRT electric has done work for me more than once. It was fast and affordable. When it comes to electricians. Trust is as important as quality. And there’s nobody you can trust for quality and professionalism more than Richard at GRT electric. Best prices and best service go hand-in-hand with professionalism.
