Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQ for Louisville Homeowners

How often should Louisville homeowners get electrical panel upgrade?
Given Louisville's ice storms are the most damaging winter weather event — louisville averages more than most midwest cities, most homeowners benefit from electrical panel upgrade at least once a year. Ice storm cleanup and tree limb removal (Dec–Feb) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.

Brick bungalows and Craftsman homes in Highlands and Cherokee Triangle and Ranch and split-level homes in suburban Jefferson County are the most common home types in Louisville 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.
