Begin with demand and condition

An assessment should consider service size, existing loads, wiring condition and planned additions such as EV charging or HVAC.

02

Panel upgrade versus rewiring

A new panel creates capacity and modern protection, but it does not replace aging or damaged wiring throughout the home.

03

Plan the project sequence

Utility coordination, permits, inspection, outage time and finish access should be understood before work begins.

The useful first step

Get the system understood before the work is sold.

A licensed on-site estimate gives Malco the information needed to explain the real options, cost drivers and safest next step.

Arrange an assessment

Straight answers

Before you book.

Is this a substitute for an on-site inspection?

No. Electrical symptoms can share several causes. An on-site assessment is the safest way to confirm the condition and scope.

When should I stop troubleshooting and call?

Call immediately for heat, smoke, burning odor, arcing, water near equipment or repeated breaker trips. Avoid opening energized equipment.
