Work Done Right by Licensed Electricians

Electrical panel replacement is not a DIY job—it requires skill, permits, and coordination with your utility provider. Ascend Mechanical’s licensed electricians safely handle every step, including:

  • Installing new 200-amp service or subpanels as needed

  • Labeling circuits clearly for easy identification

We perform all work to National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and ensure your home passes final inspection the first time.

What a Panel Upgrade Includes

Fully Permitted, Inspected, and Code-Compliant

Every electrical panel upgrade requires professional installation to meet local building codes. As a trusted Bryan, OH contractor, we handle all the paperwork—permits, scheduling inspections, and coordinating with your utility provider. You can rest easy knowing your upgrade is not only safe but legally compliant for future home sales or insurance requirements.

Understanding Electrical Panel Upgrades

Most older homes were built with 60-amp or 100-amp panels, which worked fine decades ago—but modern homes use far more electricity. Upgrading to a 200-amp electrical service allows your home to handle multiple large appliances, HVAC systems, and smart devices simultaneously without overloading.


Here’s what you gain:


  1. Improved Safety: Reduced risk of overheating and electrical fires.
  2. More Circuits: Expandable power for renovations or garages.
  3. Better Efficiency: Appliances run at full capacity without dimming lights.
