Don't Overload Outdated Electrical Panels

Older 60-amp or 100-amp panels were never designed for modern family energy consumption. Upgrading to a modern 200-amp panel protects your household devices and eliminates electrical overheating risks.

Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQs

  • How do I know if my home needs a 200-amp panel upgrade?

    If your panel is rated at 100 amps or lower, trips frequently, or lacks space for new dedicated circuits, upgrading to 200 amps provides the capacity needed for modern devices.

  • How long does an electrical panel upgrade take?

    Most residential main panel replacements are completed within 4 to 8 hours, requiring a brief scheduled power shutdown during installation.

  • Will replacing my electrical panel lower my utility bill?

    While a panel replacement itself does not reduce power consumption, it eliminates resistive heating caused by worn connections and improves energy safety.

  • Do I need a permit and utility disconnect to replace my breaker box?

    Yes, main electrical panel service upgrades require a local permit and coordination with your electric utility provider to safely disconnect power during the replacement.

  • What is the difference between a main panel and a sub-panel?

    The main panel receives utility power directly and houses the main breaker, while sub-panels distribute power from the main panel to specific areas like garages or additions.   

  • Can financing be used for an emergency panel replacement?

    Yes, flexible payment plans are available through Housecall Pro so you can replace failing electrical panels immediately.
