The panel is one part of the electrical service
A panel distributes power to the home's branch circuits, but its safe operation also depends on the service conductors, meter equipment, main disconnect, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection and the condition of every connection involved in the work.
Landmark reviews the complete path affected by the project. That avoids promising a panel-only change when damaged service cable, water entry, inadequate capacity or incompatible equipment also needs to be addressed.

Flexible payment options
Plan a panel or service upgrade with financing in view.
Landmark works with independent finance companies to offer qualified customers a range of payment-plan options. Review the available providers and continue through the provider you choose.
Repair, replace or increase capacity
A repair may be reasonable when the enclosure and bus remain serviceable, the required component is correctly listed for the equipment and the underlying cause can be corrected. Replacement becomes more appropriate when damage is extensive, compatible parts are unavailable, the equipment is obsolete, water or corrosion has affected critical components, or the panel cannot support the required circuits.
An ampere increase is a separate decision. Landmark considers the calculated or permitted demand, existing service rating and planned loads such as EV charging, electric heat, cooking equipment, hot tubs, workshops or additions before recommending 100-amp, 200-amp or another approved configuration.
What a planned panel or service project can involve
The final written scope identifies the equipment being replaced, retained or added and separates contractor-owned work from utility-owned work. Permit, inspection and utility coordination requirements are confirmed for the actual jurisdiction and service territory.
- Load and capacity review based on the home's existing and planned electrical use
- Panel, main disconnect, breakers, circuit directory and required working clearances
- Meter base, service cable, mast, riser or weatherhead when included by the condition
- Grounding, bonding, surge protection and exterior emergency-disconnect updates triggered by the scope
- Utility scheduling, permit, inspection and safe outage planning
- A final walkthrough plus written warranty terms for the completed work
Landmark's panel-installation warranty
Qualifying Landmark panel installations include a 15-year panel warranty and one year of home electrical maintenance membership coverage. The proposal and completed project documents identify the equipment, access requirements and exact coverage that apply to the installation.
Codes and standards that apply
These references explain the framework for this work. The adopted code, Michigan amendments, local authority, utility rules, equipment listings and manufacturer instructions must be considered together for the actual installation.
Frequently asked questions
Do I automatically need a 200-amp service?
No. Service size should follow the home's calculated or permitted demand, existing equipment and future plans. A 200-amp upgrade can provide useful capacity, but it is not the right answer for every property.
Can Landmark replace only the panel and leave the meter or service cable?
Sometimes. Components that remain must be compatible with the new arrangement and in suitable condition. The inspection, utility requirements and project scope determine whether a panel-only replacement is appropriate.
Are permits and utility coordination included?
Panel and service work commonly requires a permit, inspection and utility coordination. Landmark identifies what is required for the specific project and lists included permit or coordination services in the written proposal.

What your service visit includes
Your $79 dispatch and evaluation charge covers sending an electrical professional to your property and the initial on-site evaluation. During that evaluation, the electrician examines the relevant accessible system, shows or explains the supported findings and identifies the cause when the available evidence reasonably allows. Clear, flat-rate options are presented before approved work begins, and the charge is waived when you proceed with approved work during the visit. Any special access, extended diagnosis, permit or after-hours considerations are explained before work moves forward.
