Breaker box replacement in Haledon
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.

For an electrician that usually means 60 or 100 amp service, a mix of old cloth-covered cable and newer wire, and panels that were never meant to carry central air, an induction range and a car charger at the same time. We see it every week around Haledon and we plan the work around it.

Electrical panel upgrade in Haledon: 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 I need a permit for electrical work in Haledon?
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.
Do you cover all of Haledon?
Yes. We work throughout Haledon and Passaic County, including ZIP code 07508.
