Electrical Panel
Replacement & Upgrades

Pre-2000 home, 100A panel, or adding an EV charger / heat pump / hot tub? Probably yes. We'll check your load during a free inspection.

One day, typically. Power's off for a few hours — we'll tell you the window before we start.

Yes. FPE Stab-Lok breakers fail to trip up to 60% of the time on overload — meaning no fire protection. CPSC has documented the risk. Replace it.

Yes. All city and county permits pulled and inspections coordinated. You don't touch the paperwork.

Often, yes — for the better. Some insurers charge more or won't cover old/hazardous panels. A modern panel can lower premiums and improve coverage options.

It depends on the size of the new panel, whether the service is being upgraded from 100 to 200 amps, and what the utility and the inspector require at the meter. We look at the panel, the meter and the grounding, then give you the exact price before any work starts.

Yes. A fuse box is replaced with a modern breaker panel, the circuits are moved over and labeled, and the grounding is brought up to current code. It is usually done in a day, with the power off for part of it, under a permit we pull.

Yes. Breaker box, electrical panel, service panel and load center are four names for the same thing: the box where power from the utility is split into the circuits of the house.
