Electrical Panel Installation
That little metal box in your basement or garage with all those switches might not look like much — but it may be one of the most important items in your home. That box holds the electrical panel, which serves as the main distribution center for your home’s electric circuitry. Your home’s power supply flows through the electrical panel via branch circuits, which connect to the panel through circuit breakers. These breakers serve as automatic safety switches that will prevent circuit damage caused by excess current flow resulting from overloads or short circuits.
With our increasing use of electrical devices such as computers, printers and various household appliances, the circuit breaker box plays a more prominent home safety role than ever. Consider a situation where you plug a printer into the same AC outlet as your computer. This can produce more amperage than the circuit can handle, resulting in an overload that sparks a devastating electrical fire. Properly functioning circuit breakers will shut off the power before this can occur.
Upgrading Your Circuit Breaker Box
If you’ve ever plugged in and tried to use an appliance only to have all the lights shut off, you know how irritating it can be to live with an obsolete electrical panel. Not only can this be a hassle to upkeep, it can also be a hazard to your home. If you live in an older home or plug in an abundance of electrical appliances and devices, your current electrical panel may not be able to accommodate a heavy power load. You may need to upgrade the electrical panel and its components, including the circuit breakers, hot bus bars, neutral bars, and ground bars. If your panel is obsolete, a new electrical panel installation might be required. Lippolis Electric specializes in electrical panel installation and is happy to assist any homeowner in Westchester County or the surrounding area upgrade to an electrical panel better suited for their needs.
The Need for a Professional Electrical Panel Installation
There are numerous factors involved in a circuit breaker box installation. You’ll need to plan the position of all devices connecting to each circuit such as appliances, fixtures, switches and receptacles. You’ll also need to be sure the new circuit breakers can accommodate the power load. Depending on the scope of the project and your municipality’s electrical code, you may need to acquire a permit before installing an electrical panel.
The actual electrical panel installation process can be tricky. One misstep could cause significant damage to your home’s electrical circuitry — and could also result in a serious injury or even death. An electrical panel installation is not a do-it-yourself project. You should enlist the services of a professional, certified electrician to ensure the job is done quickly, efficiently — and safely.

Client testimonials
Dear Mr. Lippolis, I am writing this unsolicited letter in praise of Mike McKenna for making our major house renovation a very pleasant experience and a great success. Among other things, Mike helped us with a major electrical update in the house, including replacement of the old knob-and-tube wiring with new, and updated circuit-breaker box/outlets/switches/light fixtures/etc. In short, Mike has been knowledgeable and willing to help with advice, both when asked and when it was appropriate to suggest approach or alternatives, friendly, on time, and always doing his best (and succeeding) to accomodate our schedule and working in sync with a few other contractors at all times. Top notch work, clean, precise, etc. We are very happy that Mike and the crew helped us with our electrical needs. We will gladly keep you in mind when additional work is needed. We have already and will continue to recommend your business to others.
Hi Anthony, Your guys just finished the job and left, and I just want to thank you and let you know what a pleasure it was having them here. They were really fantastic! I’ll put the check in the mail first thing tomorrow.
Thank you for the prompt efficient manner in which my repair was done. The tech arrived in the scheduled time slot. He analyzed the problem, relayed any concern about safety, and promised the repair would be completed by the end of the day. Chris and his assistant were polite, professional, and courteous as they did the repair. They answered all my questions and went the extra mile to get the job finished. Thank you and well done!
To whom it may concern, In the planning process of removing an interior wall and renovating our kitchen, we have been interviewing various trades’ people, including general contractors, cabinet makers, electricians, plumbers, glass & mirror people, flooring specialists, etc. In the hours of interviewing, while I found most of the people to be knowledgable in their craft, too many were not good businessmen and most lacked good customer relation skills. Having worked in business my entire adult life, I found the overall experience unpleasant. The one exception out of close to two dozen individuals was your foreman, Mike McKenna. He was the first one I enjoyed having in my home, and with whom I enjoyed chatting. He did not come across as a “bs” artist. He also did not have the attitude, as others had when they showed up, that I had already taken up too much of their time, and they seemed to have one foot out the door when they arrived. He was knowledgable, but more than that, he was pleasant! He was appropriately interested, informative, insightful, and had useful comments. It was a rare, enjoyable experience. Renovating one’s home is an intimate experience. It is helpful that anyone coming in is sufficiently professional, pleasant, and respectful.
Hey Mike, I got a chance to get out there and see the job. Those guys are great! Very clean, super neat, and it’s hard to tell they were ever inside the house except for the neat wiring they did. Thanks a lot. Your guys are the best contractors in Westchester!
