Panel & Service Upgrades FAQs
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
Breakers that trip often, lights that dim or flicker, a panel that feels warm, an old fuse box, or plans to add an EV charger, addition, or major appliance are all signs. We'll look at your current service and tell you honestly whether you need an upgrade.
Can you upgrade my home to 200-amp service?
Yes. We regularly take older homes — even 40-amp services — up to 200 amps, including the panel, the meter socket, and the wiring between them.
Should I repair or replace my panel?
It depends on the panel's age, condition, and capacity. Repairing or rebuilding breakers is often more cost-effective, and we only recommend a replacement when it's the right call.

What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from homeowners and businesses we've worked with — straight from Google.
“Prior to finding Gallen I went through 3 different electricians, all of whom provided very poor service. My home is over 100 years old, and G.E.I. has rewired the entire house, did the electric for an addition & new kitchen, and most recently installed a whole house generator system. … they work very clean, even using rubber gloves, drop cloths, and shoe covers!”
“We used Gallen Electric to have an electric vehicle charger installed in our garage. From the moment I contacted them, they were great- very professional and knowledgeable. [The owner came] out the next day to give me an estimate, they fit us in to their schedule even during the busy holiday season … All around great guys to work with, I would highly recommend their services.”
“We had Gallen Electric do electrical work in our house. … They installed under cabinet lighting and pendants in our kitchen which look terrific. … [The electrician] who did the work was very professional, courteous and careful with cleaning up the work areas. … If you need electrical work done in your home, we highly recommend Gallen Electric.”
“We were very fortunate to work with Gallen Electric for our home remodel. We had a long laundry list of electrical upgrades and Gallen Electric took diligent notes and ensured all of our requests were completed to perfection and in a very timely manner. … Gallen Electric upgraded our 40A service to our house to 200A … I would recommend their team in a heartbeat.”
“Gallen was great in helping getting a new generator installed at our house. We had to replace the inside panel and get the transfer switch to get everything up and running. Not only that, our power went out one night and the generator didn't start. I text [the owner] at 1AM and his team was out the next day to fix it. Problem solved.”
“We have worked with Gallen Electric for many, many years and couldn't be happier! Everyone involved with Gallen Electric is honest, hardworking, and trustworthy. What started out as a simple under the cabinet lighting project 12 years ago, has progressed into a complete home makeover both inside and out. Whatever your electrical needs are, Gallen Electric is there for you!”
