Electrical Panel Upgrades in Morris County, NJ

Most panel calls begin in the same way. A homeowner wants to add an EV charger, a heat pump, or a hot tub and learns that the existing service will not carry the additional load. The remaining calls involve fuse boxes, panels from the 1970s and 1980s made by brands with a known failure history, and panels that have no open slots left.

Trapani Electric performs 100 amp to 200 amp service upgrades, fuse box to breaker conversions, and subpanels for additions and detached garages in Morris, Passaic, Essex, Bergen, and Union Counties. Erik pulls the permit, submits the utility disconnect and reconnect request, and meets the inspector. Utility scheduling is set by the utility company. You receive a labeled panel and the completed paperwork.

Any of the following is a reason to have the panel looked at:

• Breakers trip more than occasionally
• Lights dim when the air conditioning, the dryer, or the microwave starts
• You are adding an EV charger, a heat pump, a hot tub, or an addition
• The panel uses fuses, or the cover is warm to the touch
• There are burn marks, a buzzing sound, or a hot smell near the panel
• A home inspector or your insurance company has flagged it

Send us a photo of the panel with the cover on and we can usually tell you over the phone whether it needs a repair or a replacement.
