Electrical Panel Upgrade service for Shields and nearby towns
Many homes were built with 60 or 100 amp service, long before electric vehicles, hot tubs, heat pumps and heated shops. A 100 amp to 200 amp upgrade in Shields replaces the weak link, so new circuits have somewhere to go.
A service upgrade can include the main panel, the meter base, the service mast or underground feed, grounding and bonding, and coordination with your utility for the disconnect and reconnect. We manage those steps and label every circuit when we finish.
Southwestern North Dakota is ranch and energy country. Near Shields we wire homes in town, shops, stock wells and outbuildings. Wind, summer lightning and long rural lines in Grant County make surge protection, sturdy outdoor wiring and backup power sensible investments.

Electrical Panel Upgrade in Shields: common questions
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most panel replacements are done in a day. Power is off for part of that day, and we schedule the utility disconnect and reconnect in advance.
Do I need 200 amps?
If you plan an EV charger, electric heat, a hot tub or a shop, 200 amps is usually the right size. A load calculation gives the real answer for your Shields home.
Can you replace a fuse box?
Yes. Fuse box replacement with a modern breaker panel is one of the most common upgrades we do.
