We replace recalled or hazardous equipment (Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Bulldog Pushmatic) at no extra charge.
Typically 1-2 days (depends on utility response time). Power will be off for 4-8 hours during the swap.
We recommend adding whole-house surge protection (250−250−500) during the install.
We replace the meter base/socket (your responsibility); the utility handles the actual meter.
Not necessarily—we’ll inspect your internal wiring and advise if updates are needed.
