The Capital Region’s largest suburb — the Wolf Road commercial corridor, the airport, and a wide spread of residential neighborhoods between Albany and the Mohawk. Suburban housing of every postwar era plus continuing new construction, alongside one of the region’s densest concentrations of commercial buildings.

When 100 amps isn’t enough anymore

Breakers that trip when two big loads run at once. A fuse box, or a panel brand with a known failure history. An insurance letter or home-sale inspection that flagged the service. A plan to add an EV charger, heat pump, or generator. Any one of these is the signal — the upgrade is the prerequisite for the modern loads, not a luxury.

We size the new service to how you actually live, including what you’re planning to add, so you buy capacity once.

Panel & Service Upgrades in Colonie: your questions

My home in Colonie still has a fuse box. Is that a problem?

Fuses themselves aren’t inherently unsafe, but fuse-era services are usually 60 amps, ungrounded in places, and uninsurable with some carriers. Conversion to a modern breaker panel typically pays for itself in insurance and capacity.

Can you replace just the panel and keep my existing service wire?

If the service entrance conductors and meter are sound and sized correctly, yes. If they’re not, upgrading the panel alone leaves the weakest link in place — we’ll show you the condition of yours and price both paths.

Who handles the utility and the inspection?

We do — scheduling the disconnect/reconnect with your utility, pulling the permit, and meeting the inspector. In Colonie we know the local process and the people running it.

How much does a 200-amp panel upgrade cost?

It depends on the condition of your service entrance, meter, and grounding — not just the panel itself. After a look at what’s there, you get a firm written price before any work starts. Beware any number quoted sight-unseen.
