Electrical Service Capacity Upgrades

Many older commercial buildings in Auburn and surrounding areas still operate with 100-amp or 200-amp service, which may not be enough to support modern business operations. If your power needs are increasing, we can help upgrade your service from utility to panel.


Service upgrades include:



  • Utility coordination for new service drop or metering
  • Upgrading service entrance cables and main disconnects
  • Installation of larger main panels and circuit breakers
  • Adding sub-panels or distribution panels for specific areas
  • Grounding and surge protection

We ensure the entire electrical system—from meter to circuit—is configured to handle current and future power loads safely and efficiently.

Support for Commercial Renovations and Build-Outs

If you’re renovating a commercial property or preparing for a tenant build-out, your panel and distribution system will likely need to be modified. We work with general contractors, property managers, and facility owners to ensure proper planning and execution.


Our panel upgrades support projects such as:

  • Restaurant and retail space remodels
  • Office space expansions
  • Industrial machine installations
  • Fuel station and canopy upgrades
  • Multi-unit commercial developments

We provide detailed load calculations, electrical drawings, and coordination with other trades to keep your project on time and within budget.
