Our Electrical Panel Upgrade Process

1
Load Assessment

We calculate your home's current and future electrical demand to recommend the right service size — typically 200A for modern homes.

2
Utility Coordination

We coordinate with your utility company for the service upgrade, meter socket work, and new service entrance installation.

3
Panel Installation

The old panel is removed and a new panel is installed, with all circuits properly labeled and organized.

4
Inspection

The utility connects the new service after city or county inspection approves the installation.

Electrical Panel Upgrade by City

Our local pros understand the unique conditions of your city — climate, home types, and seasonal challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
