Electrical permit and possible short-form permit for panel or service upgrade work

Boston's electrical service upgrade guide says service upgrades can involve replacing old electrical panels with higher-amperage models and require a contractor who can apply for an electrical permit and perform the work. It also lists a short-form permit for opening non-structural walls while performing the work, so panel replacement, service upgrades, meter or service wiring changes, and related wall-opening work should be confirmed through Inspectional Services before work starts.
