Panel Upgrades & Service Changes

Electrical Panel Upgrades & Service Changes

Older Sacramento homes were not wired for today's electrical loads. A panel upgrade gives your home the capacity and safety it needs for EV charging, air conditioning, a remodel, or just knowing your wiring is up to date.

Your home was probably built with a 100-amp panel, and that was plenty at the time. But now you're adding an EV charger, running the AC all summer, or planning a remodel, and that older panel wasn't designed for the load. Many Sacramento-area homes still have panels from brands that aren't considered safe anymore, and the gap between what your panel can handle and what you're asking of it only gets wider.

We size and install a modern panel, typically 200 amps, with room to grow. We pull the permit, coordinate the shutdown and reconnect with your local utility, and make sure everything passes inspection so the job is done right and on record.

What does a panel upgrade include?

Load evaluation

We calculate your current and future electrical load so your new panel is sized for how you actually use your home.

Modern panel & breakers

A new, properly rated panel with current breakers, surge-ready and built for years of safe service.

Utility coordination

We schedule the disconnect and reconnect with your local utility so your power is off for the shortest time possible.

Permit & inspection

We pull the permit and meet the inspector. The upgrade is documented and on record for your home.

Grounding & bonding

We bring grounding and bonding up to current code, an essential and often-skipped safety step.

Clean finish

Labeled circuits, a tidy install, and a walkthrough so you know exactly what was done.

How do you know if your panel needs an upgrade?

  • You have a 100-amp panel and are adding an EV charger or AC
  • Your panel uses an outdated or recalled brand
  • You rely on power strips because you are out of outlets and circuits
  • Breakers trip when several appliances run at once
  • Fuses instead of breakers, or a panel over 25 to 30 years old
  • You are planning a remodel, addition, or ADU

Panel Upgrades FAQs

How much does a panel upgrade cost in Sacramento?
Most panel upgrades in the Sacramento area run from about $2,500 for a sub-panel to $10,000 for a full main panel replacement, depending on amperage, panel condition, and utility requirements. You get an exact, written price in a free estimate before any work begins.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential panel upgrades are completed in one day. Your power is off only during the portion that requires it, and we coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect to keep that window short.
Do I need a 200-amp panel?
Most modern homes benefit from 200 amps, especially with EV charging, electric heating or cooling, and larger appliances. We run a load calculation and recommend the right size for your home rather than overselling.
Do you handle the permit and utility?
Yes. We pull the electrical permit, coordinate the shutdown and reconnect with your local utility, and meet the inspector so the upgrade is fully permitted and documented.
Will a panel upgrade fix my flickering lights?
Sometimes. If flickering is caused by an overloaded or failing panel, an upgrade resolves it. If it is a wiring or connection issue, we will find that during diagnosis and tell you the real cause.
