Insurance companies have been flagging Federal Pacific panels for years and a lot of Canton homeowners are getting letters demanding a panel upgrade before policy renewal. That's our bread and butter. We also cover the adjacent Cruso community when we're working in Canton.

The questions Canton homeowners ask most.
Do you do panel upgrades in Canton NC?
Yes, this is one of our most-requested jobs in Canton. Most 100A to 200A panel swaps run $2,200 to $4,000 turnkey. If your insurance flagged a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, we handle those weekly.
What's the difference between a fuse box and a breaker box?
A fuse box uses screw-in fuses that have to be replaced when they blow. A breaker box uses switches you reset. Almost every Canton home built before the 1970s has a fuse box. Modern code requires breakers, we swap them out as a complete service.
Will insurance cover an electrical panel upgrade?
Sometimes, especially if the carrier is forcing the upgrade. Many homeowner policies cover panel replacements that are required for continued coverage. Check with your agent. We provide all the paperwork they ask for.
Do you work in Cruso after the 2021 flooding?
Yes. We've done several generator installs and panel relocations for Cruso properties on the Pigeon River. We mount equipment above the 100-year flood line and use weatherproof enclosures.
How long does a Canton panel upgrade take?
One day on-site. Power's typically off 4-6 hours while we swap the panel, transfer all the breakers, and re-energize. Full project from quote to power-on is usually 1-2 weeks because of the permit and Duke Energy coordination.
