Upgrading your panel adds capacity and safety, replacing outdated or overloaded equipment so your home can support modern electrified loads.
About Electrical Panel Upgrade
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's power system, it distributes electricity to every circuit and protects your home from overloads. Older panels (100 amps or less, fuse boxes, or recalled brands) often can't safely support today's electrified homes, where EV chargers, batteries, heat pumps, and induction ranges all compete for capacity.
Upgrading to a modern 200-amp panel adds the headroom and safety to run everything at once, replaces aging or hazardous equipment, and is frequently the required first step before adding an EV charger or Powerwall. Our licensed electricians handle the utility coordination, permit, and inspection from start to finish.
Signs you may need a panel upgrade
- Breakers trip often or won't reset
- Lights flicker or dim when large appliances start
- You still have a fuse box or 60–100A service
- The panel is warm, buzzing, or smells of burning
- You're adding an EV charger, battery, or hot tub
- Your panel is a known-defective brand (e.g., recalled models)
What affects the cost
- Current service size (100A → 200A is most common)
- Meter or service-entrance relocation
- Utility disconnect/reconnect coordination
- New grounding, mast, or riser if required
