Gallen RestorationAt a glance
Timeline
Panel upgrade: typically 1–2 days on site; full rewire projects scoped separately
Scope
Panel upgrades and code-compliant wiring for older Maryland homes—especially when a remodel, addition, or new appliances need more capacity than your existing panel can safely handle.
Best for
Homeowners with outdated panels, frequent breaker trips, or a remodel that needs more circuits and capacity
What's included
- On-site consultation and written estimate
- Panel assessment and load calculation
- Code-compliant install and inspection coordination
- Labeling and cleanup
How it works
- 1
Assess the panel and load
We look at your current panel, age, condition, and what you are adding—kitchen remodel, EV charger, basement buildout, etc. We tell you if an upgrade is required vs. nice to have.
- 2
Written scope and permit path
Panel size, circuits, utility coordination, and inspection requirements spelled out before work starts—not discovered mid-job.
- 3
Install, inspect, and label
Upgrade installed to code, breakers labeled, old panel removed, and inspection scheduled where required.
What to expect
Helpful to have ready
- Know what triggered the call—tripping breakers, remodel plans, home inspection findings
- Access to the panel and utility meter on consultation day
- List of major loads you are adding (HVAC, range, EV charger, hot tub, etc.)
May not be the right fit if
- You need same-day emergency power restoration—call us and we will direct you appropriately
- You only want DIY advice with no install—we do licensed install work
Common questions
- Will we lose power during a panel upgrade?
- Yes, for a portion of the work. We coordinate with the utility where needed and give you a realistic outage window upfront.
- Can you combine electrical work with a kitchen or basement remodel?
- That is often the smartest path—one crew, one timeline, no waiting on a separate electrician mid-remodel.
- Are you licensed for electrical work in Maryland?
- Yes. Gallen Restoration is licensed and insured for Maryland residential work.
