What a Commercial Panel Upgrade Includes

A commercial panel upgrade replaces an undersized or outdated breaker panel with the right-sized, modern equipment for your building’s power needs. It can include a new panelboard, main disconnect, updated feeders, labeling, grounding and bonding improvements, and space for future circuits. For many Mars Hill properties, this is the smart path when new equipment, tenant build-outs, or added HVAC loads push the old panel beyond its safe limit.

Signs Your Business May Need an Upgrade

Frequent breaker trips or dimming lights when big equipment starts
Warm panel cover, buzzing sounds, or a burning odor near the electrical room
Limited breaker spaces, double-tapped breakers, or outdated fuse boxes
Adding kitchen gear, compressors, lifts, point-of-sale systems, or EV chargers
Renovations or code updates that call for new grounding and arc-fault protection

Built for Mars Hill Buildings & Seasons

Older storefronts and campus-area rentals often have limited spare breaker spaces and aging grounding. Combinations of refrigeration, HVAC, and point-of-sale gear can stress the panel during busy weekends and hot afternoons. Winters in the mountains add heaters and snow-melt systems to the load. We factor in these seasonal swings when we size and configure your new panel so you do not run on the edge.

We also pay attention to equipment common in our area, including kitchen hoods, walk-in coolers, server closets, and air handlers. If your site near Bailey Mountain or the university plans to add IT racks or lab equipment, we will plan spare capacity and clean power distribution to support it.

What Affects the Cost of a Panel Upgrade

Pricing varies by service size, panelboard type, breaker count, feeder length, and whether the project requires off-hours work. Buildings with limited electrical room space or older conductors may need extra prep. We are happy to provide a written estimate after a short on-site visit.

Downtime & Coordination

Most panel swaps for small commercial suites can be done with a short planned outage, often scheduled early morning or evening. Larger sites or service upgrades may require a longer window. We coordinate with your property manager and any utility contacts when needed so the changeover is smooth and safe.

Safety & Compliance

Our team follows safe lockout procedures, proper grounding and bonding, and current installation best practices. Permit and inspection needs vary by jurisdiction. We will guide you on the typical steps for our area and handle the paperwork that is part of the project scope.
