Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQ for Houston Homeowners

How often should Houston homeowners get electrical panel upgrade?
Given Houston's subtropical humidity above 70% most of the year, most homeowners benefit from electrical panel upgrade at least once a year. Year-round algae and mildew on driveways and siding often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Houston most need electrical panel upgrade?
Brick veneer homes and Pier-and-beam and slab foundations are the most common home types in Houston 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.
