Can panels be hinged?
Hinges are available for all Paneltronics panels. When placing your order, please specify your preferred hinge location – top, bottom, right, or left. A hinge will simplify your installation as well as future service to the electrical panel.
Can I specify amperage ratings and labels for each panel?
Yes. Paneltronics Premier and Deluxe product lines are customized to your specifications. A completed configuration order form will list your preferred breaker ratings and the panel will be customized and completely pre-wired to help reduce the installation time.
What is the difference between Premier and Deluxe panels?
Premier panels account for the majority of our sales. These panels include backlit labels, illuminated meters, and LED indicators for each branch breaker. Deluxe panels do not have lights.
