Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQ for El Paso Homeowners

How often should El Paso homeowners get electrical panel upgrade?
Given El Paso's extreme summer heat exceeding 100°f with very low humidity (often below 15%), most homeowners benefit from electrical panel upgrade at least once a year. Post-dust-storm exterior cleaning (year-round but worst in spring) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in El Paso most need electrical panel upgrade?
Adobe and stucco ranch homes throughout El Paso County and Territorial and Spanish colonial-style homes in historic neighborhoods are the most common home types in El Paso and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
Signs include frequently tripping breakers, inability to add new circuits, a fuse panel, a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel (known fire hazards), a 100-amp service, or plans for an EV charger or addition.
What size panel do I need?
200-amp service is standard for most modern homes. Homes with EV chargers, electric HVAC, large additions, or hot tubs may benefit from 400-amp service.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most panel upgrades are completed in 4–8 hours. Utility reconnection may require scheduling with the power company and can add 1–2 days.
Will my power be off during the upgrade?
Yes. The home is de-energized during the panel swap, typically for 4–6 hours. We schedule to minimize disruption and complete the work as quickly as possible.
