Electrical panel replacement in Cranford
A panel upgrade replaces the breaker box and, for a service upgrade, the meter socket and the cable from the utility connection as well. We run a load calculation, install the new panel and main breaker, bring grounding and bonding up to date, move every circuit over and label it. We arrange the utility disconnect and reconnect and the inspection.

Electrical panel upgrade cost in Cranford
Electrical panel upgrade cost in Cranford depends on the service size, whether the meter and service cable are replaced, the panel's location and what the utility requires.

Electrical panel upgrade in Cranford: common questions
How long is the power off during a panel upgrade?
Usually most of one working day. Power is back on before we leave.
Do I need 200 amps?
If you plan to add a car charger, heat pump, electric range or an addition, almost certainly. The load calculation gives a definite answer.
Is a panel replacement the same as a service upgrade?
No. A replacement keeps the same amperage and swaps the box. A service upgrade also increases the capacity coming from the utility.
Do you cover all of Cranford?
Yes. We work throughout Cranford and Union County, including ZIP code 07016.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Cranford?
New circuits, panel changes and service work generally need a permit from the local construction office. Simple like-for-like replacements usually do not. We tell you when your job needs one.
