Main Panel Upgrades
Your electrical panel is the backbone of your home’s power supply. When it can’t keep up with modern demand, you’ll see it in tripped breakers, flickering lights, and outlets that never seem to have enough power. MRG Electric upgrades outdated panels to 100, 150, and 200-amp service, safely and up to code.
As a licensed C-10 electrical contractor with over 20 years of experience, we’ve completed more than 5,000 electrical projects across Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, and Ventura County. Every panel upgrade is permitted, inspected, and backed by our workmanship.
Signs You Need a Panel Upgrade
• Breakers trip frequently, even under normal use
● Lights flicker or dim when appliances turn on
● Your panel still uses fuses instead of breakers
● You’re adding an EV charger, ADU, hot tub, or central A/C
● The panel feels warm, or you notice a burning smell
● Your home has 60 or 100 amp service, and you need more capacity
