How To Know When It's Time for an Electric Panel Upgrade

Your electrical panel might’ve been perfect for your home fifteen or twenty years ago, but today’s homes have much greater power needs. With smart devices, high-efficiency HVAC systems, electric vehicles, and kitchen appliances running around the clock, older panels can quickly become overloaded, leading to constant breaker trips or poor power distribution.

If you’ve noticed your lights dimming when large appliances kick on, or you’re constantly resetting breakers, your system might not be keeping up. These symptoms can be signs that your panel is working too hard or, worse, that it’s overheating. In some cases, an old panel may even be unsafe, particularly if it’s a model known to have recall or fire risk issues.

Star Electric LLC's Electrical Panel Upgrade Services

From initial assessment to final testing, our team handles every detail with care.

Here’s what you can expect during a panel upgrade:

  • Initial inspection and evaluation: We assess your existing panel, wiring, and overall system to identify current limitations and any safety issues.
  • Load calculation and panel sizing: We determine your power requirements and recommend a properly sized panel, typically 100, 150, 200, or 400 amps, depending on your usage.
  • Safe power shutoff and removal: We safely disconnect power and remove the old panel and any outdated breakers or components.
  • New panel installation: We install the new panel, breakers, and grounding equipment, making sure everything is securely connected, code-compliant, and working properly.

Will You Also Need an Electrical Service Upgrade?

An electrical service upgrade is an increase in the amount of power your property can access from the electrical grid. In many cases, an electrical panel upgrade doesn’t require a service upgrade, but it depends on your home’s infrastructure. If your current service only delivers 100 amps or less, and you’re upgrading to a panel that supports 200 amps or more, your electrical service (which includes wiring and meter) may need to be upgraded to handle the increased load.

How Long Do Panel Upgrades Take?

Most residential panel upgrades can be completed within one working day. However, the exact timeline depends on factors like the system's complexity, whether service upgrades are needed, and how accessible the current panel is.

If additional permits or coordination with the utility company are required, some upgrades may take a little longer. Rest assured, we’ll give you a clear schedule and keep things moving efficiently.
