We’re excited to share that Current Electrical Contractors is now a certified SPAN Authorized Installer.
If you haven’t heard of SPAN yet, it’s a smart electrical panel that gives homeowners complete control and visibility over their home’s energy use — right from their phone. For homeowners who care about safety, efficiency, and future-proofing their homes, this is one of the biggest electrical upgrades we’ve seen in years.
And the results speak for themselves — we’ve seen a significant increase in homeowner satisfaction when we include SPAN in our projects.
So, how do you know if a SPAN panel is right for your home? Let’s break it down.
🔍 Are You Looking for Better Insight Into Your Energy Use?
Ever wish you could see what’s happening inside your electrical panel — like which appliance is costing you the most, or how much power your EV charger is really pulling?
With SPAN, you can.
If you’ve ever wondered “Where is all my power going?”, SPAN gives you real answers.
With whole-home visibility and real-time energy tracking, you can see exactly how much power each circuit is using — lighting, HVAC, kitchen appliances, EV chargers, you name it.
Energy-saving insight: SPAN helps you understand your energy habits and find ways to cut waste, ultimately lowering your monthly bill.

🏡 Are You Living in an Older Home with an Outdated Panel?
If your home still runs on a traditional breaker panel or, worse, an old fuse box, you’re due for an upgrade.
The SPAN Panel is a 1:1 replacement for your existing setup — no extra wall space or complicated rewiring needed. It streamlines your project with fast, clean installation and uses standard off-the-shelf breakers, so parts are easy to source and maintain.
A SPAN upgrade doesn’t just modernize your electrical system — it creates a safer, more capable foundation for the next 30+ years.
🚗 Are You Planning to Add an EV Charger?
This is where SPAN really shines.
The SPAN Drive, a Level 2 EV charger that pairs with your SPAN Panel, lets you charge faster without needing a costly service upgrade.
Here’s why that matters:
Many homes don’t have enough electrical capacity to add a traditional Level 2 charger — which often means paying thousands for a service upgrade.
SPAN solves that by dynamically balancing your home’s power, giving your EV max charging speed when possible and adjusting when your home is active.
That’s smarter charging — no compromise.
🌞 Are You Considering Solar or Battery Storage?
If you’re moving toward a solar-powered home or want backup battery capability, SPAN is built for it.
It gives you 100% control over your home battery system and can extend backup duration by up to 40% during an outage.
You can prioritize which circuits stay active when running on battery power, so you keep the essentials running longer.
With SPAN, your electrical system isn’t just ready for solar — it’s optimized for it.
🔌 Are You Thinking About Future Upgrades?
Even if you’re not ready for an EV or solar today, SPAN is a smart investment for the future.
It creates a flexible electrical foundation that’s ready for any modern appliance, renewable system, or addition down the road.
From induction cooktops to heat pumps, you’ll never have to wonder if your panel can handle it.
🧱 Are You a Builder Designing Custom Homes or Remodels and Looking for an Advantage?
If you’re a builder, designer, or contractor creating high-end or custom homes, SPAN can help you stand out in a crowded market.
Today’s homeowners are looking for smarter, more connected living — and SPAN checks every box. It transforms a home’s electrical system from a hidden utility into a feature buyers can actually see, use, and appreciate.
By offering SPAN as part of your build package, you give your clients:
- A modern, app-connected smart home experience
- Energy transparency they can track from day one
- EV readiness without costly future upgrades
- A home that’s solar- and battery-ready when they decide to expand
And for you as a builder, there’s another advantage — fewer callbacks and cleaner inspections. SPAN’s diagnostics make it easier to identify and resolve power issues before the homeowner even notices.
When you build homes with lasting value, SPAN helps you deliver a smarter foundation — and a feature your clients will thank you for years down the road.
💰 How Much Does SPAN Cost — and Is It Worth It?
Let’s talk numbers. A SPAN panel installation typically costs about 2–3x the price of a traditional electrical panel upgrade.
That might sound steep at first, but here’s why many homeowners find it justified — and often smarter in the long run:
- It can eliminate the need for a costly service upgrade.
A Level 2 EV charger or solar setup often requires a 200A service upgrade that can easily cost $4,000–$10,000.
SPAN’s built-in load management often avoids that altogether — saving thousands up front. - It pays you back in data.
SPAN helps homeowners see exactly where their energy dollars go. By identifying waste and optimizing usage, many customers find they reduce monthly utility costs over time. - It future-proofs your home.
SPAN creates the electrical foundation for EV charging, solar, batteries, and high-efficiency appliances — upgrades that most traditional panels can’t handle without modification. - It adds measurable property value.
Smart, energy-efficient homes are in demand. A SPAN panel makes your home stand out as modern, connected, and ready for the future.
So yes, the up-front investment is higher — but it’s often the last panel upgrade you’ll ever need.
🛠️ Who Can Install SPAN?
SPAN must be installed by a certified SPAN Authorized Installer — like Current Electrical Contractors.
Our team has completed the official SPAN product training and is equipped to design, install, and commission your system safely and efficiently.
While SPAN notes that panel swaps can take 3–8 hours, similar to a standard panel replacement, our installs typically take closer to 6–12 hours. These panels are advanced and more delicate during setup, and we take the extra time to make sure everything is mounted, connected, and commissioned perfectly.
This is a panel that’s built to serve your home for many years — and we believe it’s worth doing right. SPAN Drive can be added easily during the same visit.
