Breakers that trip often, no room for new circuits, double-tapped breakers, a 60- or 100-amp service, or plans for an EV charger or addition.
Older panels
Some older panels and fuse boxes are worn out or no longer meet today's needs. An electrician can tell you whether yours should be replaced.
Service size
Many homes go from 100 to 200 amps when adding major loads.
The process
The electrician coordinates with the utility, gets the permit, replaces the panel and has it inspected. Power is off for part of a day.
Load calculation
A good electrician calculates your home's load before recommending a size.
Labels
A new panel should have every circuit clearly labeled.
Surge protection
A panel upgrade is a good time to add whole-house surge protection.
Subpanels
A subpanel can add circuits to a garage, workshop or addition without replacing the main panel.
