⚠️ Signs you need an upgrade
Electrical panel upgrade options for 2026
100A to 200A Upgrade
Most common upgrade. Supports modern homes with central AC, electric range, dryer, EV charging. Includes new meter socket, panel, breakers, grounding.
Fuse Box Replacement
Replace outdated screw-in fuse panel with modern breaker panel. Eliminates fire hazard, allows higher amperage, meets insurance requirements.
GFCI/AFCI Breakers
GFCI protects against shock (wet areas). AFCI prevents arc fires (bedrooms, living areas). Code required for new panels.
200A to 400A Upgrade
For large homes, multiple EV chargers, workshops, or ADUs. Dual 200A panels or single 400A meter.
Whole Home Surge Protection
Protects electronics from lightning strikes and power surges. Installed at the panel — covers all outlets.
EV Charger & Solar Ready
Upgrade with dedicated breaker space for future EV charger or solar backfeed.
Why upgrade your electrical panel now?
Modern homes demand more power — and older panels pose serious risks.
Federal Pacific, Zinsco, and fuse boxes are known fire risks. Many insurance companies require replacement.
Tripping breakers, dimming lights, buzzing panels — signs your panel can't handle modern loads.
Level 2 EV chargers require 40-60A dedicated circuit. Older 100A panels often can't support.
Solar installation often requires panel upgrade for backfeed capacity and code compliance.
