Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacement in Aurora

Aurora spans four decades of building booms in one city. North Aurora ranches from the 1960s and 70s sit on aging 100-amp services with panels whose breaker lines were discontinued years ago. South Aurora, from Southlands out to Tallyn's Reach, is newer, larger and hungrier — bigger square footage, more air conditioning and a fast-growing share of electric vehicles.

We work both ends of the city. In the north that usually means replacing tired panels and correcting decades of well-intentioned add-ons. In the south it is more often about adding capacity for EV charging, hot tubs and finished basements.

North Aurora ranches are usually overhead-fed with the panel in a basement or utility room, and the cost driver is what we find when the cover comes off: discontinued breaker lines, double-tapped lugs, and grounding that predates current requirements. South Aurora is mostly underground service with the panel in the garage, which makes for a cleaner swap but often a tighter working-clearance question.

A replacement is a one-day job with a four to six hour outage. City of Aurora inspections generally come back quickly, and we close the permit out rather than leaving it open on your address, which is the thing that stalls a sale two years later.

The extras that move the price are meter socket replacement, a service upgrade from 100 to 200 amps, load management hardware for a second EV charger, or relocating a panel that no longer has the required clearance in a packed garage corner.
