Our Electrical Panel Upgrade Process in Portland, OR
At Sunset, upgrading your electrical panel is a multi-step process we've honed over 100 years serving Portland area homeowners. Our certified electricians bring a true craftsman's touch to every job.
In-Depth Evaluation
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing service entrance, panel, and branch circuits. This allows us to identify any safety issues, calculate your home's total electrical load, and spec out the ideal new equipment with no guesswork.
Prepping the Site
With an upgrade plan mapped out, we'll pull all required permits and have utility line locations properly marked. Our team will construct a secure, contained workspace while taking care to protect both your home's interior and exterior from dust or damage.
Out with the Old
Once preparations are complete, we disconnect that outdated panel and remove it in a safe, systematic manner. Existing wiring from the utility service drop gets properly terminated as we make way for new equipment.
In with the New
The new panel's enclosure goes up perfectly square and level, with every grounding and bonding component installed to stringent safety specifications. We're sticklers about doing it right.
Re-Routing Circuits
Our electricians re-route and reconnect each branch circuit cable into the new panel housing with a tight, organized arrangement. We triple-check every connection to ensure no future overloads or hazards.
Final Testing & Labeling
With circuits re-established, we affix permanent labels identifying the purpose of each new breaker for easy identification. Our team conducts comprehensive testing and inspection of the total system before reinstalling covers and trim.
Clean & Walkthrough
Last but not least, we'll give you a full walkthrough explaining the new panel's capabilities while answering any remaining questions. Our team cleans up fully, leaving no trace other than your property's newly enhanced electrical service and peace of mind.
From the initial planning phase through the final testing, we treat every panel upgrade as a true craft. You can expect Sunset's expert electricians to bring an unmatched level of quality and attention to detail!
