White Bluff Apartments: Emergency Panel & Meter Bank Replacement

March 18, 2026

Project Overview

Compass Electrical Solutions partnered with the White Bluff Apartments to address an urgent electrical issue triggered by insurance requirements. The complex’s aging electrical panels were deemed a fire hazard, prompting a full-scale replacement of panels and meter banks across the 39-unit property.

Despite the scope and urgency, Compass delivered the entire project in under one week, with careful coordination to minimize disruption to tenants and maintain safety throughout.

Project Scope & Highlights



  • Furnished and installed a natural gas-powered Blue Star generator to supply full-building backup power


  • Demolished 40 Unsafe 100-Amp Panels – Disconnected and safely removed all existing panels.

  • Removed 39 Existing Meter Sockets – Properly decommissioned aging equipment.

  • Installed New Meter Banks

  • One (1) 26-gang meter bank with 600-amp main service disconnect

  • One (1) 13-gang meter bank with 400-amp main service disconnect (with a 25-week lead time)

  • Installed New Circuit Breakers – Matched to existing tenant circuit requirements.

  • Reconnected Existing Circuits – Ensured continuity of service.

  • Coordinated Power Cutover – Worked closely with the landlord and tenants to plan power shutoffs and minimize downtime.
