• How do I know if my Des Moines home needs a upgrade? Dimming lights, frequent tripping, a 100-amp or fuse-based panel, or plans to add an EV charger or heat pump all point toward an upgrade. We assess your service and advise honestly.
• Do I need a permit for a upgrade in Des Moines? Yes. Des Moines requires an electrical permit, and as licensed contractors we pull the permit and coordinate any required utility work.
• How long does a upgrade take? Most upgrades are completed in a day, though your home will be without power for part of it. We give you a clear timeline upfront.
• Is financing available? Yes. We offer financing options to make a safe, modern panel affordable for your family.

From added capacity and modern breakers to a safe, code-compliant layout, our licensed electricians upgrade your panel to carry a modern home, backing the upgrade with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you mainly need added circuits or breaker work rather than a full panel upgrade, be sure to ask about our panel services and our other available Des Moines electrical services.

There are several warning signs that tell you your electrical panel needs upgrading. Be sure to watch for:
• Breakers that trip under normal use
• An aging fuse box or panel over 25 years old
• Lack of room to add new circuits
• Reliance on extension cords and power strips
An upgraded, code-compliant panel safely supports the demands of a modern home. Call (515) 212-6042 to explore your options, or to request your free quote.

Common Panel Upgrade Considerations

Upgrading a panel is about capacity and safety, not just swapping a box. These three factors decide whether yours can carry a modern home:

An undersized panel keeps tripping and limits what your home can run. We calculate your real and future load so the new service has safe, lasting capacity. We account for the loads you have today and the ones you are likely to add, so the new service is not outgrown in a year.

A modern panel is only safe when grounding and bonding are correct. We verify and correct these on every upgrade to protect your home and family. Correct grounding is especially important in older homes where the original system may never have been bonded to current standards.

Des Moines requires an electrical permit, and changing service size often means coordinating with the utility. As licensed contractors, we handle the permitting and utility work so the project goes smoothly. Because the City of Des Moines requires a licensed contractor to pull the permit and MidAmerican Energy must coordinate any service change, working with a properly licensed team keeps the whole project on track. We handle the inspection scheduling too, so the only thing you coordinate is when the power goes down for the swap.
