At Apache Electric & Maintenance, we specialize in panel upgrades to ensure your home’s electrical panel meets current standards, providing both safety and the capacity to handle modern electrical demands. Serving Colorado residents, we offer reliable electric panel upgrades to meet all residential needs.

What Are Panel Upgrades?

Panel upgrades involve replacing or improving your current electrical panel, also known as the breaker box or fuse box, to a newer, more efficient model. This central hub distributes electricity to circuits throughout your home, and upgrading it becomes essential as your power needs grow. Our service panel upgrades enhance capacity, improve safety, and ensure your home complies with the latest electrical codes.

Why Upgrade Your Electric Panel?

Upgrading your electric panel offers several key benefits:

  • Enhanced Safety: Older or faulty panels increase the risk of electrical fires. Replacing them with updated panels reduces these risks.

  • Increased Capacity: Modern homes rely on more devices than ever, and an upgraded panel can handle these demands without frequent breaker trips.

  • Code Compliance: Electrical standards are constantly updated. Service panel upgrades help ensure that your home’s electrical system is up-to-date with current codes, improving both safety and efficiency.

  • Better Performance: When new appliances like hot tubs or HVAC systems are installed, an upgraded panel ensures your system can support the additional load.
