Your panel is the choke point
Prioritize safety, capacity and reliability with a smart electrical panel upgrade. We replace aging residential and commercial panels with modern, high-capacity systems that meet code.
Too many homes and businesses are running on outdated electrical panels, creating a serious risk and a power choke point. AMS Electrical replaces aging residential and commercial panels with modern, high-capacity systems that meet code requirements and keep your power working day in and day out.
Your electric panel is the control center of your home or business. If it’s more than a few decades old, it probably wasn’t designed for today’s tech-heavy lifestyle. A panel upgrade clears out the old gear and helps bring your system up to speed.
Powering today’s homes safely
Electricity demand today is much higher than it was just a decade ago, and many older homes are straining their system with outdated panels.
Supporting upgrades and future needs
Adding new appliances, remodeling, or planning for solar or EV charging adds heavy demand. A modern panel gives you room to grow without electrical issues.
Safety and code compliance
Modern panels are built with updated breakers and safety features designed to meet today’s codes. That protects against faults, reduces fire risk, and keeps inspections stress-free.
What a panel upgrade covers
If your breaker box is tapped out or you’re still relying on a fuse panel from another decade, your system is overdue. We fix capacity issues at the source:
Commercial panel upgrades
Commercial properties depend on reliable, high-capacity power. Upgrades ensure your facility can safely support heavy machinery, advanced lighting, HVAC and expanding office environments without interruption.
We upgrade panels for offices, retail, warehouses, restaurants and industrial facilities. Each one is engineered for proper load distribution, improved safety, reduced downtime and full compliance with commercial codes.
How it actually goes
Assess the load
We check your current panel, how much power you’re actually pulling, and where the system is falling short.
Plan the fix
We take care of permits, preparation and scheduling behind the scenes. If other contractors need involving, we handle the coordination.
Upgrade the panel
We remove the outdated panel, install the new system, add breakers where needed, and boost capacity to match your real usage.
Test, label, finalize
The job isn’t done until every circuit is tested, everything is clearly labeled, and performance is double-checked.
Questions we get asked
Flickering lights, tripped breakers, buzzing sounds, or a warm panel cover all warrant a professional evaluation. If your system feels maxed out, it probably is.
Yes. Panel upgrades almost always require permits and a final inspection to meet local code. We take care of that process from start to finish.
Most are completed in under a day. More complex jobs — rewiring, service upgrades, or coordinating with other contractors — can take longer, but you get a clear timeline upfront.
Definitely, and in many cases it’s required. EV chargers and standby generators pull significant power. A panel upgrade gives your system the capacity to handle both.
What the neighbours actually say
We recently had Chad from AMS Electrical come out to help us with several projects, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! Chad relabeled our electrical panel, which has made such a huge difference — it's so much easier to navigate now. He also fixed our outlets so that everything is properly connected, which gives us real peace of mind. On top of that, our garage lights had been out since September, and Chad got those up and running again. What really stood out was how knowledgeable and helpful Chad was throughout the whole visit. He took the time to share a lot of great tips and practical advice for things to keep in mind as we remodel our home. Highly recommend Chad and AMS Electrical — professional, thorough, and a pleasure to work with!
AMS installed an ev charger at my house and it was a great experience. They were extremely thorough during the estimation process. Evan did the install and went out of his was to ensure everything was done seamlessly. He answered all of my questions during the process and would highly recommend.
AMS carried out several fixture replacements, and did a brilliant job, led by Phil. Huge shout-outs go to Chad, Andre and Cody. They were professional, courteous, most helpful and they fixed our electrical work - difficult as it was. Beth, on the customer service side was also very good and helpful. Thanks a lot, team!!
