PANEL UPGRADES
What we do
- Main panel replacements and service upgrades
- Standard and smart panel options
- Dedicated circuits and subpanel planning
- Grounding, bonding, and circuit labeling
- Permit, utility, and inspection coordination as applicable
What to expect
We inspect the existing panel and review your home’s electrical demand. Then we explain the options and price the work. If the job involves a power shutdown, permits, or utility work, we discuss that with you before scheduling.
PLAN YOUR PROJECT
Do you need a new panel or more capacity?
Those are different jobs. A replacement changes the panel itself; a service upgrade increases the power available to your home. A subpanel adds room for circuits. We’ll check what you have and explain which option fits the work you’re planning.
What to send us
- The equipment you want to add, such as a charger or new appliance
- A photo of the closed panel and its exterior label
- Whether the project is a replacement, remodel, or equipment addition
Call or text (916) 234-3245 with your city and project details. Photos help; leave electrical covers in place.
PLANNING A PANEL UPGRADE
Electrical panel replacement or a 200-amp service upgrade?
A replacement updates the panel equipment; a service upgrade changes the capacity available to the property. Tell us if you are considering 200-amp service or adding major equipment. We review your existing service and planned electrical demand before recommending a scope.
What affects the cost of a panel upgrade?
The estimate depends on the equipment, service capacity, panel location, existing wiring, grounding and bonding work, and utility requirements. Moving the panel or changing the service can add work. Send your city, project goals, and photos of the closed panel so we can discuss the next step. A site review may be needed before we can give a price.
Permits, inspections, and power shutdowns
We discuss applicable permit, utility, and inspection coordination before scheduling. Replacing a panel involves a power shutdown. The installation date and the time to restore service depend on the scope and required coordination; we will discuss those details for your property.
For SMUD-served properties, see SMUD’s meter and service information. Requirements depend on your utility and local permitting agency.
YOUR QUESTIONS
Questions about this service
Does an EV charger always require a panel upgrade?
No. We review your existing electrical capacity and the charger requirements first. The appropriate solution may be a new circuit, a panel or service upgrade, or a load-management option.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Sacramento?
There is no single price that fits every home. Equipment, service changes, wiring condition, panel location, and utility requirements affect the estimate. Contact us with your city and project details to arrange a scope review.
How long does an electrical panel replacement take?
Installation and the overall project schedule are different. Permits, inspections, equipment, and utility coordination can affect when work begins and power is restored. We will discuss the expected shutdown and schedule before booking.
Should I replace the panel or add a subpanel?
A subpanel can add space for circuits, but it does not increase your existing service capacity. We review the equipment you want to add and explain which option fits.
What should I send for a panel-upgrade estimate?
Send your city, what you want to replace or add, your preferred timeline, and photos of the closed panel and its exterior label. Leave electrical covers in place.
