60 amp service upgrade in Ridgewood

Most fuse boxes are tied to 60 amp service, so replacing one normally means upgrading the service too: new meter socket, new service cable, new breaker panel, and proper grounding. We separate overloaded circuits while we are in there, so the new breakers are not doing the work of fuses that were the wrong size.

Fuse box replacement in Ridgewood: common questions

Are fuse boxes dangerous?

A fuse box in good condition with the right fuses is not dangerous in itself. The trouble is age, overfusing and having too few circuits for a modern house.

Will my insurance company require replacement?

Many insurers ask about fuse panels and some will not write a policy until they are replaced. Check with yours.

Does all the wiring have to be replaced too?

Not necessarily. We check the condition of the circuits and tell you what can stay.

What customers say

Our old 100 amp panel was full and warm. They upgraded us to 200 amps in one day, labeled every breaker and dealt with the utility and the inspection. Power was back before dinner.

James K., Toms River

Half the house went dark on a Sunday night. They picked up on the second ring, told me which breaker to switch off and had someone here that evening. It was a burnt connection in the panel, fixed on the spot.

Maria D., Newark

Our insurer wanted the knob and tube gone. They traced what was still live, replaced it with hardly any wall damage and wrote the letter the insurance company asked for.
