How Our Upland Panel Company Started
We open the panel, photograph every breaker, and measure the load before we quote. You get the findings in writing, a circuit map, and a clean work area at the end of the day.
We started this company after pulling too many Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels out of Upland homes that had been tripping for years without anyone explaining why. The old fuse boxes and 60-amp services around the 91784 and 91786 ZIP codes were never built for today's loads, and homeowners kept getting quotes with no load calculation behind them. So we built a shop that does the math first, then the work. Our about Upland CA electrical panel upgrade company story is short: we fix panels, we document what we find, and we leave the labels legible.
Today our Upland panel upgrade specialists run service calls across the city and into San Bernardino County, with most work landing in the historic neighborhoods near downtown Upland and the newer tracts off Mountain Avenue. We install Square D and Eaton gear, run copper and aluminum wire correctly, and mount meter mains to code. If you have searched for experienced panel upgrade electricians near me Upland, that is the crew you are reading about.

What We Stand For
Our mission is simple: every Upland home should have a panel that carries its real load without nuisance breaker tripping, and every homeowner should understand what we changed and why. We run a load calculation before we quote, we install AFCI and GFCI breakers where the code requires them, and we label every circuit. As a licensed electrical contractor Upland CA homeowners can call back, we stand behind the work long after the truck leaves. The outcome you get is a panel that passes inspection and a house that stops flickering.
What Guides Our Work

Plain Answers
You get a written scope that says what we found and what we recommend, in words you can read without a code book.
The Crew Behind The Panel
Our field team is small on purpose. Two lead electricians, an apprentice, and a shop hand who keeps the vans stocked with breakers, conduit, and panel labels. Between them they have worked on everything from 1950s fuse box conversions near the Upland Civic Center to EV-ready and solar-ready upgrades on newer builds off Foothill Boulevard. They hold C-10 Electrical Contractor License coverage, keep current on California Electrical Code and Title 24 energy standards, and wear insulated gloves and OSHA safety compliance gear on every service change. When you call, you talk to someone who has actually stood in front of an overloaded electrical panel in Upland, not a dispatcher reading a script.
Panel and Service Work We Handle
Every job below starts with a walkthrough and a load calculation, whether you need a 100 amp panel or a 400 amp service for an EV charger and solar.
100 to 200 Amp Service Upgrade
The standard upgrade for older Upland homes still running 60 or 100 amp service.
200 to 400 Amp Service Upgrade
Built for larger homes adding EV chargers, solar, or a detached ADU. A 400 amp service splits into two 200 amp panels so you keep room for future circuits.
Subpanel Installation
A subpanel in the garage or at the back of the house shortens circuit runs and clears space in a crowded main panel.
Fuse Box to Breaker Panel Conversion
Old fuse boxes in Historic Downtown Upland homes cannot take AFCI or GFCI protection and often have no main disconnect.
What Upland Customers Say
Our 1950s house near Historic Downtown still had the original fuse box. They converted it to a breaker panel, labeled everything, and walked me through which breaker runs the kitchen. The inspector signed off the same day. Power was back on before dinner.
I needed a 200 amp upgrade to add a Level 2 charger for my truck. They ran the load calculation, showed me why 100 amps would not cut it, and had the new panel and meter main in over two days. Clean conduit work, no surprises on the invoice.
Our Zinsco panel was scaring the insurance company. They replaced it with an Eaton panel, found heat damage on two branch circuits, and fixed the aluminum wiring terminations. Took a full day and the price matched the quote to the dollar.
Storm took out our service mast last winter. They came out, replaced the mast and meter main, and got the utility to reconnect. Communication was good, though we waited a couple extra days for the inspection slot. Work itself was solid.
We manage several rentals around Upland Palms and College Heights. They have done three panel swaps for us now, always pull the permit, and always leave the panel labeled. Tenants barely notice the power going off for the day.
Breakers kept tripping whenever the AC kicked on. They ran the numbers, upsized us to 200 amps, and added a whole-home surge protector while the panel was open. No more tripping, and the price was fair for the scope.

Yes. The City of Upland requires an electrical permit for a panel or service change, and the work has to pass inspection. Unpermitted panel swaps can surface during a home sale and give an insurer grounds to deny a claim. We file the permit and meet the inspector on site as part of the job.
Most single-family homes in Upland do fine on 200 amps, which covers central AC, an electric range, a dryer, and a future EV charger. Homes over 3,000 square feet or those adding solar and an ADU often go to 400 amps split across two panels. We confirm with a load calculation rather than guessing.
