2. Commercial Panel Replacement & Service Upgrades

## Why commercial panels get replaced

- **Capacity.** New HVAC equipment, kitchen equipment, EV chargers or a tenant fit-out needs more than the existing service can supply.
- **Age and obsolescence.** Breakers no longer manufactured, corroded bus bars, and outdoor panels weathered past the point of safe operation.
- **Findings.** Hot spots found in [infrared imaging](/commercial/electrical/infrared-imaging), tripping breakers, scorched terminations or insurer and inspector requirements.
- **Reconfiguration.** Splitting a service for new tenants, adding sub-panels, or moving equipment during a renovation.

## Indoor and outdoor

Many Triangle commercial buildings have their main panels or meter centers outdoors, exposed to heat, humidity and storms. We replace outdoor panels and meter bases with weather-rated equipment, and indoor panels, sub-panels and distribution boards inside electrical rooms, with the utility disconnect and reconnect coordinated so downtime is measured in hours.

## How we plan the outage

1. Survey the existing equipment, loads and utility service.
2. Design the replacement with room for the loads you are planning.
3. Permit, order equipment, and schedule the utility.
4. Replace during the window that costs you the least: nights, weekends or between shifts, with temporary power where operations cannot pause.
5. Inspect, label every circuit, and document the panel schedule.

## Frequently asked questions

How long will the power be off?Typically a few hours for a panel swap once the equipment is on site. We schedule it outside your operating hours and can provide temporary power for critical loads.

Can you upgrade the service at the same time?Yes. Service upgrades are often done with the panel replacement so the utility only visits once.

Do you replace panels found deficient by an insurer or inspector?Yes. We regularly correct findings from infrared surveys, insurance inspections and county inspections, and provide the documentation afterwards.

An infrared survey of your panels and switchgear finds the hot spots while they are still a repair rather than an emergency.

    Joe Oliveira stopped by my home, took time to understand the problem that I was having with the unit, went back and discussed the issue with his team of experts and had a detailed work order sent to me with in a day. … Based on the experience that I have had with Progressive Plumbing, Heating & Air, Electrical, I will HIGHLY recommend them for HVAC install and maintenance.
