Electrical Panel Installation and Wiring in Henrico County & the Greater Richmond Area

Electrical panels – also known as a breaker panel, load center, service panel or breaker box – is the most important part of your home’s electrical system.

Many homes throughout Henrico County and the greater Richmond Virginia area use outdated fuse boxes or breaker panels long past their prime.

Your electrical Panel’s purpose is to provide a braking point from the power line. Older panels can present a danger of fire. Older fuse boxes are no longer insurable by many insurance companies. The average lifespan for an electrical panel is 20 – 25 years.

There are two primary reasons to replace an electrical panel or to add a sub-panel. You may wish to add circuit breakers beyond the capacity of your current breaker panel, or your house may use the older fuse box systems which are no longer safe. We remove old electrical panels and replace them with newer, new up-to-date panels wired to your home’s specifications and needs.
