Electrical Panel Upgrade

What is an electrical panel?

The electrical panel provides electricity to appliances in your home. Power from the utility company flows into the home through this panel, then branches out into major electrical branches, dwindling into smaller branches to distribute power. A properly functioning electrical panel is essential to the safety of your family and home.
