100-amp to 200-amp service upgrades, hazard-panel replacement and meter work in Ogden — permitted, inspected, and warrantied for five years.
A panel upgrade in Ogden is usually driven by one of two things: the panel is a known hazard brand, or the house has quietly outgrown its service. Ogden has one of the oldest housing stocks on the Wasatch Front. Downtown and the historic districts are full of pre-1950 homes still running 60-amp fuse services, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and the occasional stretch of knob-and-tube in an attic.
Ogden has one of the oldest housing stocks on the Wasatch Front. Downtown and the historic districts are full of pre-1950 homes still running 60-amp fuse services, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and the occasional stretch of knob-and-tube in an attic. It matters more than it sounds like it should.
That is why the load calculation comes first. We look at what the house draws today, what you are planning to add, and what the existing service and bus can carry, and then we tell you whether this is a like-for-like replacement or a genuine service upgrade.
Canyon wind coming out of Ogden Canyon takes lines down more often than people expect, so surge protection and a solid ground are not optional here. Panel work in Ogden means coordinating the meter with the utility and pulling the permit, and both of those are ours to handle, not yours.
The most common job we do — a full service upgrade including panel, meter base, grounding and the utility coordination that goes with it.
Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, Zinsco, Pushmatic and Challenger panels have known failure modes. Insurers increasingly ask about them by name.
Larger homes with multiple EVs, a shop, a spa and electric heat sometimes genuinely exceed 200 amps. We run the load calculation rather than guess.
A properly fed sub-panel for a shop, detached garage, basement or addition — sized for the real load, not the leftover breakers.
Storm-damaged or corroded meter bases and pulled masts, coordinated with the utility so power comes back the same day where possible.
Bus rating and backfeed limits decide whether your panel can accept solar. Getting the panel right first keeps that project from doubling in price.
Permits: we pull the Ogden electrical permit where the work requires one and schedule the inspection.
Power company: Rocky Mountain Power serves Ogden. We coordinate the meter disconnect and reconnect for panel and meter work.
Local conditions: Canyon wind coming out of Ogden Canyon takes lines down more often than people expect, so surge protection and a solid ground are not optional here.
You never deal with the city or the utility. That is our job.
We work throughout Ogden and Weber County, including Union Station and Historic 25th Street.
The usual signs are breakers that trip under normal use, a fuse panel rather than breakers, a panel labeled Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Pushmatic or Challenger, no room for another breaker, or a service rated below 150 amps in a house with central air and modern appliances.
Most straightforward like-for-like replacements and 100-to-200-amp upgrades are a one-day job, including the utility disconnect and reconnect. Larger services and paralleled designs take longer and we tell you that up front.
Not usually. Power is off for the working portion of the day while the panel is swapped and the utility reconnects. We give you a realistic window before we start.
Rocky Mountain Power serves Ogden. When a panel or meter is replaced, the utility has to pull the meter and re-energize afterward. We schedule that with them so your job is not waiting on a phone call you have to make.
It removes one of the most common items a home inspector flags in Ogden. A permitted, documented upgrade reads as an improvement in a file where a flagged panel reads as a repair credit request.
