We perform a detailed load calculation to determine exactly how much power your facility needs.
We handle all communication with Evergy or your local utility provider to coordinate service disconnection and reconnection.
We install the new panel, meter base, and grounding system, labeling every circuit clearly.
We schedule and attend the city inspection to ensure everything passes code and power is restored quickly.
A commercial panel upgrade starts with a load calculation: we look at your current equipment, your incoming service size, and whatever you’re planning to add before we recommend a new panel. Once the scope is set, we schedule a shutdown window, disconnect the existing panel and feeders, and mount the new equipment, whether that’s a straight breaker swap or a full service change to 400A or higher. New feeders get run and terminated, breakers get labeled to match your circuits, and grounding and bonding get checked against current code. Once everything is landed, the inspector signs off, we re-energize the building, and we test each circuit and piece of equipment before we leave the site.
Across the Kansas City metro, panel upgrades go through the building department with jurisdiction over the address, and that authority differs depending on whether you’re in Clay, Platte, or Jackson County on the Missouri side, or across the state line in Kansas. Each city and county handles permitting and inspection on its own schedule, so we confirm the correct authority having jurisdiction before we pull a permit. A lot of the metro’s commercial buildings date back several decades, which is exactly the stock most likely to still be running an obsolete panel or an original service sized well below current equipment loads. Coordinating with Evergy is part of the job too: larger service changes often need the utility to inspect or reconnect the meter before we can energize the new panel.
Cost varies by the amperage you’re moving to, the panel brand, and how much of your existing distribution has to change with it. A straightforward 200A to 400A swap runs differently than a full service upgrade with new sub-panels and feeder runs. We walk the site, look at your load, and put together a written quote before any work starts. Ask about our free estimate when you call.
The right panel size depends on your current load plus the equipment you plan to add over the next several years, not just what fits in the wall now. We calculate your demand load, factor in HVAC, machinery, and future circuits, then size the service and panel to match. Undersizing a panel today just means paying for a second upgrade later.
Both brands have a documented history of breakers that fail to trip under overload, which is why they’re widely considered obsolete rather than simply old. If your building still has one, we recommend a full panel replacement rather than a repair, since parts for these panels are hard to source and unreliable when found. We replace them with current Square D or Eaton equipment.
Yes, panel upgrades and service changes require a permit and inspection through the local building department before the new equipment can be energized. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle the paperwork as part of the job. This applies whether you’re on the Missouri or Kansas side of the metro.
In many cases, yes. We can plan the shutdown for evenings, weekends, or a slow period in your operation, depending on your utility company’s scheduling and the scope of the work. Talk with us about your production schedule and we’ll build the outage window around it.
We install Square D and Eaton equipment for most commercial jobs, since parts and support are easy to find across the Kansas City area. Matching your new panel to a widely stocked brand also makes it easier to add breakers or expand the system later without a special order. We can talk through options if your facility already standardizes on a particular brand.
