Service Upgrades
Increasing building amperage from the utility line to meet modern demand.
Introduction
Most older apartment buildings in Southern California were designed for a fraction of today’s power needs. Between air conditioning, high-end appliances, and tenant technology, modern demand often exceeds original capacity. A service upgrade increases the total amperage delivered from the utility line to your building, preventing brownouts and allowing for future property expansion.
