Panel work is the category where what gets written down matters almost as much as what gets installed. The best panel installation in the world is hard to defend ten years later if there's no record of who did the work, which breakers were used, what torque values were applied, or whether the inspection was signed off properly.
Saturn Electrical Services Inc treats panel work as a documented process, not just a physical install. Every lug torqued to spec gets recorded. Every breaker confirmed as listed for the panel gets recorded. Every grounding measurement gets recorded. Across Eidson Road, TX, this is the kind of work that gets called when a future contractor opens the panel and recognizes that someone serious did it.
Many homes in older sections of Eidson Road were built on 100-amp service... Modern homes demand more.

Yes. Panel work in Eidson Road requires both a permit and an inspection sign-off. We handle the permit application, the inspector coordination, and the documentation that comes back from it.
Because someone will look at this panel again — a future electrician, an inspector, an insurer, or a buyer's home inspection. Documentation is what allows them to verify the work was done correctly without having to disassemble anything. It also protects you if questions arise later about whether the work was code-compliant.
