Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth upgrading from 100 amps to 200 amps in my Salem home?

For most homes, yes – 200 amps gives you the capacity for EV charging, heat pumps, central AC, and additions without overloading. We will assess your needs and recommend the right service size.

Are old Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels really dangerous?

These panels have known failure risks and are best replaced. If your Salem home has one, we will replace it with a safe, modern panel.
