Signs your panel is holding your home back

  • Breakers trip when appliances run together

    Running the AC, dryer and microwave at once shouldn't kill power. That's a capacity problem, not bad luck.

  • No room for an EV charger, spa or addition

    Full panels and 100A services can't safely support big new loads without a load calculation and upgrade.

  • Federal Pacific, Zinsco or a fuse box

    These legacy panels have documented breaker-failure histories, and many insurers surcharge or decline them.

  • Warm, buzzing or rust-stained panel cover

    Heat, noise or corrosion inside the panel means loose connections or failing breakers — call promptly.

How a panel upgrade works

I start with a load calculation so you get the right-size service — not the biggest one a salesperson can sell. Most homes land on 200A; some only need a subpanel to free up space.

I pull the city permit, coordinate the meter disconnect with your utility, and swap the panel in a single scheduled outage — typically 6–8 hours. Every circuit is torqued to spec, labeled, and brought up to current AFCI/GFCI requirements where the code requires it.

After the city inspection passes, you get a written summary and a clearly labeled panel directory you can actually read.

Upfront pricingEvery panel is different, so estimates are free. You get a fixed written price after a quick on-site look, before any work starts.

Electrical Panel Upgrades FAQs

How long does a panel upgrade take?

The power is typically off for 6–8 hours on install day. Permit approval and utility scheduling usually add 1–2 weeks of lead time before that.

Do I need a 200A panel?

Not always. A load calculation tells us what your home actually draws. If you only need more breaker spaces, a subpanel can be the cheaper, correct fix.

Is my Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel dangerous?

Both brands have well-documented histories of breakers that fail to trip under overload. If you have one, replacement is strongly recommended — and many insurers require it.

Will I need to be home during the upgrade?

Only at the start and end. I'll walk through the plan in the morning and review the finished panel with you before I leave.
