Main panel upgrades (MPU)

    Arrange access, approvals and reliable closeout when the property owner will not be present.

    Confirm ownership and work boundaries before assigning repairs at the utility connection.

    Use a clear change process when panel work reveals an existing condition outside the original estimate.
