PANEL & SERVICE UPGRADES

Is it Time to Upgrade Your Electrical System?

If you are experiencing frequent electrical issues, or your electrical system is struggling to keep up with the demands, you may need a panel upgrade or a service upgrade.

At GEM Electrical Services, we specialize in panel and service upgrades to ensure that your electrical system runs safely and efficiently. Our team of licensed electricians has the expertise and experience to assess your system and recommend the best solution for your specific needs.

Panel Upgrades:

Panel upgrades involve replacing your outdated or insufficient electrical panel with a newer, higher-capacity panel that can handle the electrical demands of your home or building. Our technicians will upgrade your circuit breakers and other components to ensure your electrical system is safe and reliable.

Service Upgrades:

Service upgrades involve upgrading the electrical service that enters your home or building from the outside. This may include upgrading the metre and associated wiring and changing the electrical service entrance equipment to accommodate higher voltages and amperages. Our team will ensure your electrical system is up to code and running smoothly.

Electrical upgrades can be a daunting task. When it comes to updating your electrical panel or service needs, trust the experts at GEM Electrical Services to get it right.
