Breaker box replacement in Kearny
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 Kearny

None of that is unusual in North Jersey. The job is to trace it properly, fix what is unsafe first, and leave you with a panel schedule that finally matches the house.

Electrical panel upgrade in Kearny: 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.
Which towns near Kearny do you serve?
We also work in Harrison, North Arlington and Belleville and the rest of Hudson County.
Do you cover all of Kearny?
Yes. We work throughout Kearny and Hudson County, including ZIP code 07032, from the Arlington section to South Kearny.
