Circuit Panel Upgrade or Heavy Up Additions
A heavy-up circuit is a type of electrical circuit that is designed to handle a higher electrical load than a standard electrical circuit. This is typically achieved by increasing the size of the conductors and equipment used in the circuit, such as the wires, switches, and breakers. Heavy-up circuits are used in home-based businesses or for home hobbyists where there is a need for a large amount of electrical power to support machinery, lighting, or other high-demand equipment. The term "heavy-up" refers to the process of upgrading an existing electrical circuit to handle a higher electrical load.
Circuit panels may need an upgrade because they're outdated, don't have enough circuits, or you've done an addition or added additional features to your home that require more circuits. Installing a pool or hot tub are just 2 examples of upgrades that might require an update to your circuit panel. We also install circuit panels for new construction of Additional Dwelling Units (ADUs) and other residential buildings.
Dedicated circuits
There are other reasons to have a dedicated circuit besides the electric car charger mentioned above. You may be installing a pool or hot tub that requires its own circuit for safety or code requirements. If you've noticed issues like a hot tub plug getting hot, it could be a sign that your current setup isn’t handling the load safely. .You may be running power down to your outbuildings, or adding air conditioning or an electric stove to your home where you had none previously. There are a variety of reasons you may need a dedicated circuit - our team of licensed electricians near you can help you make the need a reality!

Arrived onsite to be shown the existing hardwired detectors, are the smoke detectors that were recalled, as well as all the battery ones linked to them. We went throughout and found the foyer and office are hardwired, but the rest of the 6 in the house are all battery. They are leaving for a trip for 2 weeks and want them fixed today, but i also discussed the long term fix of hardwiring all the units together as well, which i wrote up an estimate for and will be sending them. For today, we will replace the hardwired unit in the foyer with a combo unit, and the one in the entry office with a hardwired smoke detector. The husband ran out and got battery ones for all the other locations that we installed as well. All detectors are verified working properly and they will reach out when they want to get them all hardwired next time.
08/25 Arrived onsite where we were given the sticker for the inspection corrections needed. We spoke to the homeowners about what would be required to update the other half of the service to modern safety standards, that is being asked of us by the inspector. We will have to add a disconnect for the 125amp line, as well as update grounding, and add a whole home surge protector to the existing cutler hammer panel as well. We will relocate the phone box to the front corner of the house, and pad the wall outside to go over the existing grounding, fiber, and phone lines that are already run. We will return 8/28 to complete this work and fulfill what the inspector is asking of the job. Deposit taken today Returned on 8/28 today and i started inside and Tyler started outside. We had to move the phone box and redo the strapping for the grounds but we were able to fit the 100amp disconnect on the same wall. Tyler worked on the grounding and once we got outside far enough, i came inside and
Arrived onsite and the resident is a big diy guy in terms of replacing all his devices, but told us he noticed the wiring looked messy and potentially wasn’t right behind the dining room switches. We opened up the gangbox and the splices were messy, the dimmer has a black mark on it where it burnt somewhere in it life, and the splices weren’t all that good either. I discussed completely re-tying in the gangbox and installing a new single pole switch along with his smart switch he provided as well and he liked that idea. Both switches will be customer supplied and wont be covered by warranty. After we discussed that he took us down to the panel and showed me around and there is water pipes hanging in front of the panel, all put together with sharkbites. The panel had a ton of surface rust and it was also clear water had ran through it at one point because there was rust dripping out the bottom of the panel and down the wall. He is going to call the plumber out to have that all secured

We had a major panel replacement an upgrade that took three days. Josh and Tyler were thorough, professional and a pleasure to work with. They made sure everything was done properly and cleaned up after all the work was completed. They stayed very late on the third day to make sure the house had power everywhere.
