10 FAQs About Residential Panel & Service Upgrades

• How do I know if I need an upgrade? If you have fuses, frequently trip breakers, or can’t run essential appliances together, it’s time.
  
• What does a 200-amp service mean? Your main breaker can deliver up to 200 amps of current—enough for modern homes without overload.
  
• Can I keep my existing circuits? Yes—we transfer your branch circuits into the new panel and replace any worn breakers.
  
• How long does the upgrade take? Typically 4–6 hours, depending on panel access and any rewiring needed.
  
• Will I lose power during installation? Briefly—power is off only while we swap panels. We schedule work for minimal inconvenience.
  
• Do I need a permit? Absolutely. We pull all permits and handle inspections to ensure full compliance.
  
• What about grounding and bonding? We upgrade grounding rods and bonding jumpers to meet current NEC standards.
  
• Can you install a sub-panel instead? A sub-panel only helps if your main service is adequate. If not, a full service upgrade is best.
  
• How much does it cost? Costs vary by home size and complexity, but you’re investing in safety, reliability, and resale value.
  
• Is financing available? Yes—we offer flexible payment plans so you can upgrade without breaking the bank.
