Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's system. An upgrade might be necessary if you're adding major appliances, experiencing frequent breaker trips, or if you have an older fuse box that can't handle modern electrical loads. Repairs are needed if you notice burning smells, scorch marks, or a buzzing sound from the panel—these are urgent safety concerns. Our team at Prairie Electric can assess your panel's condition, ensure it meets current Portland safety codes, and perform any needed installation or repair to ensure reliable power throughout your home.

We handle the entire process, from the initial wiring and connection to final testing, so you have peace of mind knowing your system is installed correctly and ready to power essential circuits when you need it most.
