Panel Upgrades in Colorado Springs

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. Older 60A or 100A panels — common in homes built before the 1990s — were never sized for today's loads: EV chargers, central A/C, induction ranges, electric water heaters, finished basements, hot tubs, and home offices. An undersized or aging panel runs hotter, trips more often, and can become a real fire risk. A modern 200A service with a quality panel solves all of that and adds capacity for the next 20+ years.

Every panel upgrade is led by Eric, a Licensed Master Electrician, with permits pulled when required: • On-site evaluation of your existing service, meter, and grounding • Coordination with the utility for service work • Replacement of the main panel and breakers with a modern, quality brand • Updated grounding and bonding to current code • Surge protection (optional but strongly recommended) • Permits and inspection scheduling where required • Clean labeling so future work is easier We specifically watch for older Federal Pacific (Stab-Lok) and Zinsco panels — both have well-documented failure issues — and we'll be straight with you about whether yours needs to go.

If you're planning an EV charger, hot tub, mini-split A/C, basement finish, or detached garage with power, talk to TruLee Electric before you buy equipment. The right panel and service capacity decisions up front save thousands later — and a Master Electrician can tell you in 10 minutes whether your existing panel will handle the new load or whether an upgrade should come first.
