Electrical panel upgrades for older Montclair homes.
If your home still runs on 60 or 100 amp service, a panel and service upgrade to 200 amp brings it to current code and gives you room for an EV charger and modern appliances, done with care for your home's plaster and woodwork.

Why upgrade your panel
The 60 and 100 amp service common in older Montclair homes was sized for a different era of household power.
Ready for an EV charger
A 200 amp service leaves room for a dedicated Level 2 home EV charger circuit, whether you add one now or down the road.
Safer at the source
A new panel replaces aging, overtaxed breakers with modern arc-fault and ground-fault protection, so the wiring behind your walls is protected the way current code intends.
Room for modern appliances
Run heat pumps, induction ranges, and central air at the same time without tripping breakers or overloading an undersized panel.

How the work goes
A panel and service upgrade in an older home calls for a careful hand around plaster walls and original woodwork. The owner is on the job from start to finish, and the work area is left clean when it is done.
Assess the load
We review your appliances, circuits, and plans for the home, then size the right service so the new panel fits how you actually use power.
Permitted and to code
We pull the permit, install a clean panel that meets current code with every circuit clearly labeled, and the work is inspected when it is finished.
Minimal downtime
Most standard panel swaps are completed in a single day, usually about 6 to 10 hours, so your power is back on the same evening.
An upgrade your insurer will appreciate.
Aging service and old electrical panels are a common reason insurers hesitate on older homes. A modern panel that is permitted and inspected makes the home safer and leaves a clean, documented record, which often helps with both coverage and resale when the time comes.
