Guardian provides panels & service upgrades in Myrtle Beach and nearby Grand Strand communities. Check our service area or contact Guardian about your address.
Start with the reason for the change
You may be planning an EV charger, additional equipment, a remodel, or a repair to existing service equipment. Each calls for a review of the current installation and the proposed loads before recommending a scope.
A larger panel is not the whole answer
Available breaker positions and available electrical capacity are different questions. The review may include the panel, service equipment, connected loads, and the requirements of the new equipment. A photograph alone cannot establish capacity.
Plan the coordination
Service work may involve permits, utility coordination, an interruption to power, or work by other trades. Discuss these needs early, particularly if the property is occupied or a business must remain operational. Requirements are confirmed for the address and scope.
Useful photos, safely taken
Send an exterior view of the closed panel, any label visible without removing covers, and the proposed equipment location. Our portfolio includes installation-stage panel and meter photographs; those images show work in progress.
A couple of common questions.
Do I definitely need an upgrade for an EV charger?
Not necessarily. The existing service and proposed charging equipment need to be evaluated together.
Can you confirm a price from the panel size?
Panel size is only one part of the scope. Access, equipment, wiring, and coordination can also affect the estimate.
