Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQ for Wichita Homeowners

How often should Wichita homeowners get electrical panel upgrade?
Given Wichita's tornado alley: major tornadoes have struck within wichita city limits, most homeowners benefit from electrical panel upgrade at least once a year. Post-tornado storm damage inspection and repair (April–June priority) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.

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.
