Electrical Panel Installation

Electrical Panel Installation In Albuquerque, NM

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. It distributes power where it’s needed, keeps your family safe, and supports every appliance, light fixture, and device you use daily. At Signature Comfort, we specialize in professional electrical panel installation designed to meet modern demands, enhance safety, and future-proof your home.

Whether you’re renovating, experiencing electrical issues, or simply living in an older home, our licensed electricians are here to deliver quality, code-compliant panel installations with minimal disruption and maximum care.

Do You Need a New Electrical Panel? Here Are the Signs:

If you’re unsure whether it’s time to install or upgrade your electrical panel, watch for these common warning signs:

Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips
Your system is overloaded and struggling to meet your household’s energy needs.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
Especially when using multiple appliances — this may indicate poor power distribution.
Outdated Fuse Boxes
Homes with fuses instead of breakers are at greater risk and often not up to code.
Burning Smells or Scorch Marks
These could signal overheating components — a serious safety concern.
Adding High-Powered Appliances or Renovating
New HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, or electric vehicle chargers often require more power than older panels can handle.
Your Panel is 25+ Years Old
Age alone can mean it’s time for an upgrade — older panels weren’t built for today’s energy demands.

Our Electrical Panel Installation Services Include:

Complete Panel Replacement and Upgrades
Safe removal of old equipment and seamless installation of modern, code-compliant panels.
Load Calculations and Power Assessments
We evaluate your household’s needs to ensure your new panel is built for long-term reliability.
Permit Handling and Code Compliance
We take care of all permits and ensure everything meets local regulations.
Professional Installation with Minimal Disruption
We respect your time and space — expect clean, efficient work from start to finish.
Post-Installation Testing and Support
We thoroughly test the new system and walk you through the upgrades, ensuring you’re confident and informed.

What to Expect from Signature Comfort

Wondering if it’s time for a new panel? If your home experiences frequent breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, or if you notice unusual smells or warmth near your panel, those are clear signs something isn’t right. Homes with outdated fuse boxes or panels older than 25 years are especially at risk. Even if everything seems to work fine, adding a new appliance, remodeling your home, or planning for future needs like an EV charger may require more electrical capacity than your current panel can handle.
As for the right size panel, most modern homes need at least a 200-amp panel — especially if you’re using power-hungry appliances, central heating or cooling, or smart home systems. We conduct a detailed load assessment to recommend a panel that not only fits your current lifestyle but also supports future growth.
The installation itself usually takes a single day, although more complex jobs might take longer. During that time, the power to your home will be shut off — typically for 4 to 8 hours. We’ll give you plenty of notice and help you plan around the outage to avoid any surprises.
Permits and inspections? We’ve got you covered. All electrical panel work requires permits and must pass a local inspection. Signature Comfort handles everything from start to finish, ensuring your upgrade is fully code-compliant and officially approved before we call it done.
Still have questions? Our team is happy to walk you through every detail, with no pressure and no jargon — just honest, professional guidance tailored to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need to replace or upgrade my electrical panel?

How long does it take to install a new electrical panel?

Most panel installations take one full day. Complex upgrades may require additional time. We provide a clear timeline and keep disruption to a minimum.

Will I be without power during the installation?

The technician assigned to do our AC tune-up was Elijah Sanchez. He was very friendly and did a great job. He was extremely knowledgeable and allowed me to watch while he inspected everything. After 45 years of swamp coolers I had a lot of questions and he was patient and helpful. I appreciated that he wore shoe covers every time he entered the house. He also took pictures of everything. He mentioned a few things to keep an eye on and wrote up a few items as possible work down the road. Nothing preventing use, but potential maintenance items. I would certainly use Signature again, especially if he were the technician assigned.

Response from the owner 14:27 30 Apr 25

Phil, thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear Elijah provided such friendly, knowledgeable service and took the time to walk you through everything with care and professionalism.

HVAC Technician Supervisor Jeff Lant did an amazing job yesterday (3/12) assessing my central AC and saved me hundreds by diagnosing and repairing a loose wiring issue in the components! He's also extremely courteous and professional exactly as he was during his prior visit. Plus, my German Shepherd loves him and that's definitely a signal of Mr. Lant's kindness and integrity. Thank you, Jeff!

I have used Signature commercially and was very happy with their service. This is the first time I've used them personally and I'm still very happy with their service. The technician, Freddy R, showed up as scheduled (2025.03.05), was friendly, talked me through all my options and then performed the work efficiently. He left the work area spotless!When today's job was completed, I also had him look at another problem area. He did the research necessary and quickly gave me another estimate. He's scheduled to return tomorrow (2025.03.06) to complete my second request. Easy scheduling and great service!In addition, we had a nice conversation about his kids and a recent trip he'd taken. 10 stars!!

Josh Padilla

I recently had a furnace and air conditioning system installed by Signature, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, the team (Allen, Nathan and Jason) was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs.The initial consultation with Adrian was thorough, and they took the time to explain all my options. Their expertise made it easy to choose the right systems for my home. On installation day, the crew arrived on time and worked efficiently without compromising quality. They answered all my questions and took care to minimize any disruptions in my home.The new furnace and AC unit are performing beautifully! I've already noticed a significant difference in both comfort and energy efficiency. Plus, the entire process was very reasonably priced for the quality of work provided.I highly recommend Signature Heating to anyone in need of HVAC installation. They truly exceeded my expectations!

I was able to make an appointment with signature in less than a day. They came promptly the next morning. Richard G. was my technician and he was quick to point out the issue and get up on the roof to fix it. This took maybe an hour and my swamp cooler was running like new. Amazing customer service.

Santa Stocking

03:31 28 Aug 24

We got lucky today! The folks that usually service couldn’t get us in right away so we contacted Signature heating, cooling and plumbing. Richard Gurry and Enrique were very friendly, very knowledgeable and went beyond any heating, cooling and plumbing services that we’ve ever had. Richard is the AC guru for detecting and figuring out why we were having is issues. He gave us three possible options for going forward. If you need to have someone work on your AC please ask for Richard you’ll be glad you did! 👍🏽😉👍🏽

Great experience! This economy is rough, so if you’re going to pay top dollar for work, at least you’re getting top quality! We got a great system with fantastic work done by Alfredo & his team! I’m so happy when professionals are actually professional! We reached out on Monday, & our excellent serviceman Richard was there within a couple of hours. Ryan, our sales rep was honest & down-to-Earth. Our system was replaced by Friday, & all is well again. Thank you for making this as painless as possible. UPDATE: A week after install, I received a “Thank for Your Business” card, & a nice lunchbox full of delicious cookies! THESE GUYS KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING! 👏🏼 Also, FREE air filters for life. Thanks!

Enrique was the best! Very knowledgeable knew everything about our HVAC units. Explained everything in detail. Very professional, very easy to deal with. I would recommend him to anyone!

Jaime Jaramillo

03:35 23 Aug 24

I am happy we made the decision to go with Signature on our AC unit upgrade. I felt informed and comfortable when we had our inspection and were presented our initial options. Adrian Lopez was professional and presented the options in a very clear manor answering any and all questions we had (including after the unit was installed and permitted). Our installation team was also on top of it! Having realized they needed a crane only when arriving to my house on install day, they had a crane show up within the hour. A half day install made this the easiest transition from or old unit to a cost effective and energy efficient one that we love. Thanks Signature, for the hardworking team we had!

Richard G. Did an amazing job analyzing and fixing what was going on with our Refrigerated Air. My AC stopped blowing cold air over the weekend and he was there within 24 hrs of calling. He arrived on time, did a thorough inspection and was able to identify what problem was. He replaced the dual capacitor and got the AC working within a little over an hour. There was no hassles no trying to push a new system on me. Provided some advice on maintaining what I already had. Very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Signature Heating and cooling. Thank You guys very much.

Due to issues with our compressor, we went without a/c for about six weeks. Richard and Jeff were very helpful in explaining the issues to us and fixing what they could, until eventually the compressor was replaced. We appreciate all their help.

Signature saved me so many headaches and hassles. After being away for 2 weeks, I came home to a water main leak in my front yard. I was losing hundreds of gallons of water. I called 5 different plumbing businesses and all gave me response times of several days to a week. Thomas Valdez at Signature arrived within 2 hours. He was sympathetic and so polite. He let me hover over him and ask questions while he dug into my front yard to find the leak. By the time he was finished digging, he was COVERED in mud from head to toe and kept a smile on his face. He showed me everything and explained the issue and what would be needed to fix the problem. When it got time to do the work, Signature sent Jeromy in to support Thomas and he was also very patient and answered all my questions. The work was done within 5 hours of my initial call (same day) and I didnt get charged crazy "emergency" feesAs far as total costs were concerned, I was extremely surprised and pleased. I was expecting a significantly higher cost based on some internet research and they came in WELL beneath the "average". Signature is now my go-to Plumbing and HVAC company! Thank you Thomas and Jeromy!!

Gayla Reid

13:37 02 Jul 24

My water heater was experiencing problems and I called Signature and they sent Stephen out that same day. He was very pleasant and professional and helpful in explaining things. He got the problem fixed quickly and emailed me later with different estimates on other solutions for later in case I decided to replace my water heater at a later date. All in all a great experience.

Julian Algarin

17:43 26 Jun 24

Very awesome service! after calling 20+ places to come evaluate and see what repairs needed done Signature was the only one who got back to us and showed up early to make sure we’re taken cared of through the correct channels, Jeff Lant and his partner Lance Robbins were super informative and made sure we knew everything that was going on and made the best recommendations for us!!! Thank you Signature for helping us!

John “Johnny G” Gonzales

17:01 07 May 24

Really happy with the service signature, heating, cooling and plumbing gave me when installing my new AC unit. The process was very easy and simple. The sales representative Erik was very nice and explained everything clearly. Andy and the rest of the guys that came to install the unit were very nice and professional. They explained everything and made sure everything was working properly before they left. They even hauled away my old swamp cooler and all the trash that I had. I will definitely recommend them to anybody that needs any service or a new AC/ heating unit on their home.

I appreciate the time to review the issue and do appreciate someone of Jeremy's expertise going through the steps to address the concerns. I really think he is a quality employee. He gets a 10 from me.

M Mayo

21:38 01 May 24

We asked for a Spring tune-up of all our HVAC (three heat pump/compressors and three air handlers), along with explanation of how exactly our system worked, since the house and its systems, particularly the heat pumps, were new to us. Jeff was assigned to work our case and very usefully explained what we had, what it was connected to, how it worked, how to do the routine maintenance, and then proceeded to fix a coolant leak he found during the inspection - coolant dripping at the pipe joint. Some soldering, vacuum pulling, and coolant resupply later, it was fixed. While the repair was unanticipated and expensive (we had been hoping for a clean bill of health), the workmanship was professional, friendly, helpful, and competent. I don't think the outcome could have been dealt with better.

David Hartig

22:17 30 Apr 24

The installation team was very friendly and explained all questions I had while they were doing their part of the job. When finished they did a thorough job of cleaning up after themselves. Andrew did a great job of going over the checklist of all the services provided to finish the job before I signed the closing contract.

Mary Munoz

16:13 30 Apr 24

Our plumber was Steven! He was so great and patient. The job was supposed to take 30 minutes and ended up being a bigger issue than we suspected. He stayed and fixed it even though he had other calls to tend to. He said he didn’t feel right leaving us hanging without fixing it. He was so nice!

J Ski

21:40 26 Apr 24

Nicholas was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions/concerns and explained everything before we signed the contract. I would recommend and use Signature again. Excellent and trustworthy company, hard to find these days. Neftali and Elijah were excellent workers. They had the knowledge, skill and professionalism we have never experienced before. They were an awesome team of people who work for Signature.

Bonnie Mansell

21:28 25 Apr 24

Our experience with Signature could not have been better. We scheduled an appointment to have our AC tuned up for summer and took advantage of Signature's April Special we saw advertised on a local TV station. Richard, our service tech, was professional, courteous, and extremely well-trained. We live in a newer over 55+ community in ABQ and we will highly recommend Signature to our neighbors and friends. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

Prior to hiring Signature, we received four different estimates for replacing our split system heating and cooling units. Our prior system lasted 20 years and covered the needs for central air for a single story, 2000 SF home. So, we wanted to pick components that would meet our needs for the next ten years, with efficient cooling, reasonable heating efficiency, and a company that would warranty their work for as long as reasonable. After comparing cooling units at 17 SEER2, and looking at who would put their guarantees in writing, Signature had the best deals and coverage. Other quotes had a better price, but for less efficient condensers. Nick is great at responding to inquiries and helping to provide technical details.The installation technicians from Signature did a great job. I was able to get very good explanations from all of them any time I had questions. In particular, Oscar and Derrick were very patient, and did an excellent job re-structuring the base of our air intake for the furnace and air handler. When finished, Oscar walked through the final inspection with me, and even though he already tested the systems, he did it again until I was satisfied with the functionality of both heating and cooling (during a very cold day). I am glad that we went with Signature and would happily use them again.Photos show the old equipment and the newly installed equipment with compliant plumbing and electrical connections. The heater has been working great and has warmed the house much quicker than the older unit. We're looking forward to the efficiency benefits from the new cooler in the summer.

Lisa Stafford

23:24 15 Nov 23

I was extremely impressed with the efficiency and how fast they came out. To fix my heater, I hadn't pneumonia. And they took that to heart and they were literally here in 38 minutes. They had to order the part but he had bypassed a piece. So I was able to have heat until the correct part did come in very. Good young man and just excellent work. I would recommend this heating and plumbing company to anyone, and all just an amazing company and an outstanding employee. In my opinion, he is an asset to this company. Thank you, Lisa Stafford.

From A-to-Z this is the company for me.I hired signature to install refrigerated A/CAnd heating. After meeting with Cody, the consultant and agreeing on going through with installation. Signatures installation crew came over as promised. They were on time and they were outstanding. They were done in one day and cleaned up after themselves. Signatures office follow up is exceptional. They also serviced my water heater by a fellow named Josh and team they were also outstanding. I highly recommend this company. As I write this the temperature is 100° outside and it’s 70° in here. Thank you again signature. From a super satisfied customer Johnny B.
