Power Your Modern Home

Ace Electric did a phenomenal job with installing a 60 amp sub panel in my garage. I called them to get an estimate and they came to my home quickly and gave me an estimate. They completed the work a few days later and answered all of my questions and concerns. They were prompt, knowledgeable and very reasonably priced! I will definitely be using them again in the future for any electrical needs for my home!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my home needs an electrical panel upgrade?
Common signs include frequently tripped circuit breakers, flickering lights when appliances run, a panel that's warm to the touch, or if your home was built before 1990. You'll also need an upgrade if you're adding major appliances like central air conditioning, an electric vehicle charger, or planning a home addition. Our electricians provide free inspections to assess your panel's condition and capacity, helping you determine if an upgrade is necessary for your Rockford home's safety and electrical needs.
How long does an electrical panel upgrade take?
Most residential panel upgrades in the Rockford area take 4-8 hours to complete, though this can vary based on your home's specific requirements. The process includes shutting off power temporarily, removing the old panel, installing the new panel with updated circuit breakers, and ensuring all connections meet current electrical codes. We coordinate with your local utility company if a service upgrade is needed, and we'll schedule the work at a time that minimizes disruption to your household.
What's the cost of an electrical panel upgrade in Rockford, IL?
Panel upgrade costs typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 for most Rockford homes, depending on the panel size (100, 150, or 200 amp), your home's existing wiring condition, and whether additional work like a service upgrade is required. We provide free, detailed estimates with no obligation, explaining exactly what's included. Many homeowners find the investment worthwhile considering the increased safety, potential insurance savings, and ability to power modern appliances without electrical issues.
