Safely power your home or business with a properly sized 200A or 400A electrical panel — installed clean, fast, and to code.
About Panel Upgrades
An outdated or undersized electrical panel is one of the most common causes of tripped breakers, fire risk, and failed insurance inspections. J&R Electric is a licensed Southern California electrical contractor (CA Lic #1053737) that specializes in main service upgrades — replacing aging 60A, 100A, or recalled panels (Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Challenger) with modern 200A or 400A panels rated for today's loads: EV chargers, heat pumps, solar, ADUs, and remodels. We coordinate directly with your utility (SCE, LADWP, SDG&E) and pull all required permits and inspections.
