Upgrade Your Electrical Panel for Modern Living

Most residential panel upgrades can be completed in 4-8 hours on the same day. The exact time depends on the complexity of your electrical system, the type of panel being installed, and any additional work required. We schedule installations to minimize power outages, typically keeping you without power for only 2-4 hours during the actual panel swap.

Yes, electrical panel upgrades require permits in most jurisdictions. We handle all permit applications, inspections, and paperwork for you. The permit ensures your upgrade meets local electrical codes and safety standards. This is included in our service and pricing.

Signs you need a panel upgrade include: frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights when appliances start, burning smells from the panel, rust or corrosion on the panel, fuse boxes instead of breakers, insufficient capacity for modern appliances, or panels over 25 years old. We provide free assessments to determine if an upgrade is needed.

Upgrading your electrical panel often has a positive impact on your homeowner's insurance. Modern panels reduce fire risk and may qualify you for discounts. Some insurance companies require panel upgrades for older homes or may not cover claims related to outdated electrical systems. We provide all documentation needed for your insurance company.

The amp rating indicates how much electrical current the panel can handle safely. 100A panels are suitable for smaller homes with basic electrical needs. 200A panels are standard for most modern homes and can handle multiple large appliances, HVAC systems, and EV chargers. 400A panels are for large homes, commercial properties, or homes with very high electrical demands like workshops or multiple EV chargers.

Yes, we can upgrade panels on homes with solar systems. We coordinate with your solar installer and ensure the new panel is compatible with your solar inverter and monitoring system. Solar installations may require additional considerations like production metering and rapid shutdown devices, which we handle as part of the upgrade.

We provide comprehensive warranties on all panel upgrade work. Our installation work is warranted for 1-5 years depending on the package selected. The electrical panel itself comes with manufacturer warranties ranging from 10-25 years. We also provide 24/7 emergency support for any issues that may arise after installation.
