OLD TOWN SERVICE UPGRADE SPECIALISTS
Many established residences across Old Town Peoria still operate on outdated 60-amp or 100-amp electrical panels installed decades ago. These vintage fuse boxes and split-bus panels cannot safely handle modern central heat pumps, microwave ovens, and electric vehicle charging. Our licensed electricians replace obsolete, hazardous panels with modern 200-amp copper-bus service entrances, bringing historic homes up to current safety codes.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 out of 5 across 184 customer reviews.
Upgraded our 200A main service panel and installed a hardwired Level 2 Tesla EV charger in the garage. Clean conduit bending, filed the City of Peoria permit promptly, and passed inspection without an issue.
Our main AC breaker kept tripping on a 112-degree afternoon. The technician arrived in 35 minutes, found severe thermal degradation on the breaker bus bar, and replaced the breaker assembly safely.
Installed a whole-home surge protection device and added dedicated 20-amp circuits for our backyard pool pump equipment. Explained voltage spike ratings clearly and gave a fair flat-rate price.
Remediated 1970s aluminum wiring in our branch circuits using AlumiConn connectors. Very meticulous work, checked every outlet switch box, and provided full documentation for our home insurance company.
