Electrical Panel Upgrades
Older electrical panels may not be equipped to handle the demands of modern homes. If your home still has a 100-amp panel, outdated fuse box, or a panel brand known for safety concerns, an electrical panel upgrade from McClintock Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical can improve safety, capacity, and reliability. Our licensed electricians handle the full panel upgrade process for homeowners throughout Charlotte, Matthews, and surrounding communities, from evaluation to installation to final inspection.

- You’re experiencing frequent breaker trips from overloaded circuits
- Your panel has a known safety recall (Federal Pacific, Zinsco, etc.)
