Full Panel Upgrades

100A → 200A · Complete Replacement

A complete replacement of your existing electrical panel with a modern, high-capacity system. We remove old fuse boxes and outdated breaker panels, install a new 200-amp service panel, properly label every circuit, ensure correct grounding, and leave your home with a safe, code-compliant electrical system built to handle today’s power demands — EV chargers, smart home systems, HVAC, and more.

Capacity Expansion

EV Chargers · HVAC · Additions

Adding an EV charger, new HVAC system, home addition, or workshop to your property requires additional electrical capacity. We evaluate your current load, identify available headroom, and expand your panel’s capacity to safely accommodate new high-draw appliances and circuits. This service prevents overloaded circuits, tripping breakers, and the fire risks associated with running too much power through an undersized system.

Permit & Code Compliance

Permits · Inspections · Documentation

Panel upgrades in California require permits from your local building department — and the process can be complicated if you don’t know the system. We handle all permit applications, coordinate with your utility company for service disconnection and reconnection, schedule inspections, and ensure your upgrade passes first time. All work is documented and signed off by a licensed C-10 contractor, giving you full peace of mind and protecting your home’s value.

Request for Service

Full Panel Replacement

We remove your entire existing panel — breakers, bus bars, and enclosure — and replace it with a properly rated modern panel configured for your home's current and future power needs.

Breaker Installation

Every circuit gets a properly rated breaker installed and clearly labeled. We ensure your loads are balanced across both legs of the panel for optimal performance and safety.

Proper Grounding

We install and verify all grounding and bonding connections to code — protecting your home from electrical surges and ensuring all safety systems function correctly during a fault.

Permit Assistance

We handle all permit documentation, file with your local building department, coordinate with your utility for service interruption and reconnection, and schedule the final inspection.

Safety Testing & Inspection

Before we leave, we test every circuit under load, verify all GFCI and AFCI breakers are operating correctly, and walk you through the completed work — including how to reset and identify each breaker.

Clean-Up After the Job

We respect your home. Every job ends with a full clean-up — old panel components disposed of responsibly, work area tidied, and no mess left behind for you to deal with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Panel upgrades raise a lot of questions — we get it. Here are the ones we hear most often, answered plainly and honestly.

How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?

Common signs include: breakers that trip frequently, flickering or dimming lights when appliances run, a burning smell near your panel, outlets or switches that are warm to the touch, a panel that’s 20+ years old, or you’re adding a high-draw appliance like an EV charger, HVAC system, or home addition. If you’re unsure, give us a call — we can often diagnose over the phone or schedule a quick on-site assessment.

Most residential panel upgrades are completed in a single day — typically 4 to 8 hours depending on the complexity. Overhead service upgrades may take slightly longer due to utility coordination. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we quote the job, and we schedule the utility disconnect/reconnect in advance so your power is off for as short a window as possible.
We ask that an adult homeowner or authorized representative be present at the start and end of the job — for the initial walkthrough and final sign-off. You don’t need to be there every minute, but we do want to walk you through the completed work and answer any questions before we leave. We’ll call you when we’re 30 minutes from finishing.
Yes — California requires a permit for main electrical panel upgrades. Working without a permit creates liability issues, can void your homeowner’s insurance, and may cause problems when you sell the property. We handle all permit applications as part of our full-service packages, and we coordinate with the local building department and your utility company to keep the process smooth and fast.
Overhead service means the electrical lines run from the utility pole to a weatherhead mast on your roof or exterior wall. Underground service means lines come in below ground, typically through a conduit. Overhead upgrades involve replacing the mast, service entrance cable, and meter base, while underground upgrades typically involve only the panel and meter base. Both require utility coordination for reconnection.
Yes — real estate agents and home inspectors consistently flag outdated electrical panels as a red flag for buyers. A modern 200-amp panel tells buyers the home is ready for EV chargers, smart home systems, and modern appliances without additional electrical work. Many buyers request panel upgrades as a condition of sale on older homes. Upgrading proactively can give you leverage in negotiations and speed up a future sale.
Sometimes, yes — it depends on your current panel’s available capacity. If your existing panel has enough headroom and a suitable breaker slot, we can install a dedicated 240V circuit for an EV charger without a full upgrade. However, many older 100-amp panels are already near or at capacity, making an upgrade necessary. We always assess your panel first and give you an honest recommendation — we won’t push an upgrade you don’t need.
Your home’s power will be off during the upgrade, typically for 4–6 hours. We coordinate the utility disconnect/reconnect window to minimize downtime. We recommend planning ahead — charge your devices, make note of items in the fridge, and avoid scheduling the upgrade on a day when power is critical. Our crew works efficiently and cleanly, and most homeowners find the disruption much less significant than expected.
