Service Panel Upgrades
Upgrading your service panel is the best way to ensure you have adequate power supply to meet your energy demands, and more importantly, remedy any potential safety issues that could arise from an old or damaged electrical panel.
Tri Star Electrical offers a variety of solutions to upgrade your electrical service panel, including:
Complete Service Panel Replacement
Tri Star Electrical can completely replace your service panel to latest technology of equipment. This process includes disconnecting the old equipment as needed (panel, meter can, entrance cable, ground rods, etc) and installing the new panel and all necessary components, including labeling the panel and all live breakers. This process usually takes 6 to 8 hours and can be completed in one day.
Service (Amp) Upgrades
Most homes are equipped with a 150 amp panel, but in today's high energy demands, it's very common for a home to require an upgrade to a 200 amp service, or more. We can achieve this by simply installing a sub panel to the existing panel, or upgrading / adding breakers in the panel itself. For commercial properties, we can provide high-capacity panel upgrades that meet any businesses energy demands.
Fuse to Breaker Conversions
The old school fuse box panels are a thing of the past. If your home is still equipped with a fuse box, upgrading to a modern breaker panel is necessary to ensure proper safety, and adequate power supply. Our service panel professionals can convert your old panel to a new, code compliant circuit breaker that will accommodate your energy demands.
Dedicated Circuits
If you are looking to install new appliances or equipment on your property that requires dedicated power (HVAC, pool, hot tub, etc) our professionals can install a dedicated circuit in your panel that supplies concentrated power to your equipment.

Customer Feedback
Tri-Star upgraded my electrical panel. They communicated well, showed up on time, were friendly, and did an awesome job. I'd use them again for sure, and would recommend them to anyone looking for electrical work!
Prompt, polite and informative about what they installed. New panel installed and portable generator access. Demonstrated DTE switch position during power failure and alarm sound when power is back on. Amazing clean-up when finished. Respected my home.
Had Tri Star come out originally to diagnose lights flicker when load on a different circuit and running power & Ethernet out to my observatory. Quick diagnoses that water infiltration had caused corrosion at the main panel. Schedule and replaced panel as soon as possible. As soon as ground was thawed and dry they came out and ran the conduit out to my observatory. Helpful and knowledgeable. Will definitely be my first call for any electrical related items I need done.
I had a new upgraded service and breaker panel installed. Scheduling the estimate was quick. The quote came the same day as the visit (an owner). Scheduling the job was easy with not too much lead time. The crew (led by the owner's son) was prompt, courteous and efficient, and cleaned up after. The work looks neat and tidy.
Tri Star performed an entire service entrance upgrade with a new header, meter box, exterior disconnect, entrance cable, panel, generator interlock, and underground feeder and sub panel to our pole barn. The work performed was superb and the crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and fast. Scott was great to work with, explaining every step of the process, what to expect, and their plan to resolve our concerns. I highly recommend Tri Star to anyone in need of electrical work.

Service Panel Checklist
Is Your Service Panel / Cable Undersized?
As a general rule of thumb, a 150 amp service is adequate for a home less than 3,000 sq. ft. Any space over 3,000 sq. ft. should have a minimum of a 200 amp service. If your home / panel doesn't meet these criteria, you may need to upgrade your service panel and cable.
Do You Have A Fuse Panel?
An older fuse panel is not worth the risk and headaches! Upgrading to a breaker panel will provide more power capacity, better safety, and is overall easier to maintain.
Is Your Panel Overloaded?
Events like breaker/fuses tripping, flickering lights, and malfunctioning equipment/appliances are all tell-tale signs your panel may be overloaded.
Are You Installing New Appliances?
Common examples: A/C, furnace, water heater, pool/hot tub, ovens and refrigerators.
Any time you look to install a new appliance/device in your home that requires dedicated power from your panel (especially equipment that was never in your home before), make sure your panel has the capacity and circuit structure to support the increased load.
Is Your Home Undergoing Renovations?
Planning on that home addition, finished basement, or garage/pole barn? Chances are you will need to upgrade your service to accommodate the power demand in these new spaces.
If you answered YES to any of these questions, contact us today. We will be glad to evaluate your needs and provide a solution!
