Common Electrical Panel Questions
When do I need an electrical panel upgrade or replacement?
You may need an electrical panel upgrade if your breaker pane is 25-30 years old, uses fuses, or can't handle modern electrical demand. Common warning signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm panel surfaces, or burning smells. Panel replacements are also recommended before major remodels, home additions, or installing EV chargers and high-demand equipment.
What are the benefits of upgrading my breaker panel?
Upgrading your electrical breaker panel improves home safety, reduces fire risk, and ensures your electrical system meets current code requirements. A new panel provides reliable power for modern appliances, supports future upgrades, and can increase overall home value while improving energy reliability.
How long does an electrical panel replacement take?
Most residential electrical panel replacements can be done in one day. This includes removing the old panel, installing the new service panel, completing required inspections, and safely restoring power. Our licensed master electricians plan the upgrade carefully to minimize downtime and disruption to your home.
How much does an electrical panel upgrade or replacement cost?
The cost of an electrical panel upgrade or replacement depends on several factors, including the size of the panel, the condition of the existing wiring, code requirements, and whether additional upgrades are needed. Every home is different, so we provide on-site evaluations, and clear estimates to ensure the panel is sized correclty and meets both safety and future power needs--without unnecessary upsells.
