At Black Cat Electric and Plumbing, every electrical panel upgrade centers on one goal: giving you a system that powers your home safely and reliably for decades. We don’t cut corners or push unnecessary add-ons. Our focus is on accurate load calculations, code-compliant installation, and components chosen for long-term performance. Each panel we install is treated with the attention detail demands, from meter coordination to final inspection, so you get power you can count on every single day.
Families adding electric vehicle chargers, heat pumps, or home offices quickly outgrow older 100-amp panels. A properly sized upgrade ensures circuits never overload and every new appliance runs safely. We calculate your home’s actual load, pull the necessary permits, and coordinate with the utility so the installation goes smoothly. The result is reliable power, fewer tripped breakers, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your system meets current code.
We calculate current draw, identify undersized circuits, and determine amperage requirements for your home.
We mount the new load center, connect service entrance cables, install breakers, and ground to code.
We verify voltage at all busbar connections, test AFCI and GFCI protection, and confirm safe operation.
Every panel upgrade starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch. We walk you through what your home needs, explain the load calculation in plain terms, and answer every question before any work begins. Permits, utility coordination, and code compliance are handled without shortcuts. Your home gets the amperage it requires, installed to last, and you stay informed at every step without confusion or surprise costs.
