Get answers about an existing panel.

Repeated trips, a damaged enclosure or concerns raised in an inspection need a diagnosis. The cause may involve the connected circuit or service equipment as well as the panel itself.

  • Explain the symptoms, any recent work and the equipment involved.
  • Have accessible panel and circuit conditions assessed before choosing replacement equipment.
  • Compare supported repairs with replacement when condition or compatibility calls for it.
Request Panel Service

Build the electrical plan around your next project.

We review existing capacity and the equipment you want to add. Depending on that assessment, the plan may involve new circuits, a panel change, load management or an electrical service upgrade.

  • Bring the actual charger, heat pump and appliance specifications.
  • Consider circuit space, equipment condition and service capacity as separate questions.
  • Include future battery or solar plans before the panel arrangement is finalized.

Let's make a plan.

Let's plan the power behind your next project.

Bring the equipment list—or start with the panel concern. We will help you compare the next steps.

Power for the way you live.

Want more control? Ask about smart-panel options.

Some smart panels add circuit-level monitoring, remote controls or automatic management of selected loads. We can help you compare the functions you would use with the equipment your home needs.

Features depend on the exact panel and system configuration. If battery backup is part of the plan, check the supported battery, inverter and transfer arrangement together. We also discuss internet requirements and which controls continue working when the connection is unavailable.

  • What you want to monitor or control day to day.
  • Existing circuits and any planned solar, battery or EV equipment.
  • Supported features, app access and everyday operation for everyone in the household.

Capacity first. Equipment second.

  1. Tell us what you are adding

    Share the property address, equipment specifications and longer-term plans. A photo of the closed panel and visible labels can help start the conversation.

  2. Compare a practical scope

    We assess the installation and planned loads, explain suitable options and provide a written scope. A subpanel adds circuit distribution space; it does not increase utility capacity by itself.

  3. Coordinate the change

    We identify required permits, inspections, utility involvement and the expected power interruption. The quote should distinguish the panel work from meter, service and restoration work.

Before we arrive.

Bring the details that shape the quote.

An equipment list helps make the estimate about your home rather than a generic panel size.

  • The model information for planned appliances, heating, charging or backup equipment.
  • Known service information, prior permits and electrical inspection findings.
  • Any solar, battery or generator already connected to the home.
  • Remote-work, refrigeration or medical-equipment needs during a planned interruption.

A quote that fits the work.

What affects panel-project cost?

  • Panel type, circuit arrangement and the condition of connected equipment.
  • Whether the scope includes a service-size change, meter work or relocation.
  • Wiring routes, grounding work, access and finish repairs.
  • Smart controls, compatible accessories, permits and utility requirements.

Choose hypothetical APR and term assumptions to compare costs. These selections are not a list of financing options available to you. A down payment entered here is an assumption, not a required deposit.

Financing depends on lender approval. Wisetack publishes amounts of $500–$65,000, APRs of 0%–35.9%, and terms of 3–120 months for home services. Your amount, APR and term depend on the transaction, creditworthiness, merchant and lending partner; state rate limits may apply. Some merchants and lenders do not offer 0% APR or extended terms. Wisetack reports no origination charges, late fees or early-payoff penalties. Review the lender’s actual payment schedule and agreement before accepting financing. This worksheet adds no financing fees and makes no approval decision. Wisetack’s current FAQs (opens in a new tab)

Calculation and rounding details

Monthly payments are rounded to cents. The total uses the unrounded payment formula; the final payment is adjusted so the displayed payments add up. Actual lender calculations and payment dates may differ.

This models equal monthly periods at a fixed APR without added financing fees. Compare the lender’s actual schedule before making a decision. Your entries stay in this calculator; it does not save them or send them with a service request.

Your questions.
Clear answers.

Have a question about your home? Call the crew at (206) 276-9029.

Do I automatically need 200-amp service?

No. The choice follows an assessment of existing capacity, the planned loads and utility requirements. Some projects can use available capacity or suitable load management; others need a service upgrade. Empty breaker spaces alone do not answer that question.

Does a smart panel replace the need for a service upgrade?

Not in every home. Supported load-management features may help with some additions, but they do not change every equipment or utility limit. We compare options for the actual installation and explain what the selected system can manage.

Will my smart-panel app work with any home battery?

Compatibility is model-specific. The panel, battery, inverter and associated controls must support the intended features. We review the equipment documents and connectivity needs before describing monitoring or backup functions as part of your installation.

Will the power be off, and does panel replacement include rewiring?

Panel work normally needs a planned interruption; timing depends on the scope and any utility or inspection coordination. Replacing the panel is separate from replacing the home's branch wiring. Both the interruption plan and any circuit repairs should be clear in the quote.
