"They did an excellent job of installing the new panel at a reasonable price. Also they had financing options that were same as cash. I was provided some options of circuit breakers and the price with the options. The differences in breaker were explained and the code requirements for my area was also explained and compared to other local code standards. I was able to customize the options a little bit based on my needs and I have more space in the panel if I have additional requirements. Going from a box from the 1960’s to a modern solution mad a lot of sense. The installation was smooth with only a short time without power. Throughout the process, I was well informed of the progress. My family was able to work remotely from home during most of the install without too much disruption. (Used cell phone for internet and laptops while power was off.) They even installed a monitoring system for me to track the electrical use of the house. Overall they did a great job and I am very satisfied."

"Larry and his crew upgraded our under cabinet lighting with new LED lighting, and specialized outlet.

Electrical wiring or panel upgrades FAQs
Yes, upgrading your electrical panel is a worthwhile investment for most homeowners. A 200-amp upgrade provides capacity for multiple modern appliances and electric vehicle charging stations and reduces the risk of overloaded circuits. This improvement is especially valuable for homes with all-electric heating or cooling systems. While the average investment of $1,600 is significant, it enhances safety, convenience, and potentially your property's market appeal when it's time to sell.
Yes, electrical service upgrades always require permits to ensure compliance with local safety codes. Your licensed electrician can handle the permit application process and coordinate the necessary inspections. Skipping this crucial step could create serious safety hazards, invalidate your homeowner's insurance, and cause complications during future home sales. The permit cost of $50 to $300 represents an essential part of your project budget.
Whether you need to rewire your house depends on your existing electrical infrastructure. Many homes with reasonably modern wiring only need the service entrance cable and panel replaced to achieve a 200-amp service. However, homes with outdated wiring systems may require more extensive updates to safely handle increased capacity. A professional assessment by a licensed electrician will determine your specific requirements based on your home's current condition.
The physical installation requires four to eight hours of professional labor. However, the complete process—including permits, inspections, and potential utility company coordination—may extend over one to two weeks. During installation, expect your home's power to be temporarily disconnected. Complex installations involving significant rewiring or panel relocation may require additional time. Your electrician can provide a more precise timeline based on your specific circumstances.
You may qualify for a 30% federal tax credit (maximum $600) for qualifying electrical panel upgrades. Additionally, some local utility providers offer their own incentive programs for electrical system improvements. Research your state and municipal energy efficiency programs, and consult with your electrician about which panels meet eligibility requirements. For specific tax credit information, consultation with a tax professional is recommended.
