Panel Upgrades – Q&As
1. How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
Signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, old fuse panels, limited space for new circuits, or adding major appliances.
2. What size electrical panel should I upgrade to?
Most homes benefit from 200 amps, especially if they have EV chargers, hot tubs, electric heat, or future expansion plans.
3. How long does a panel replacement take?
Typical upgrades take 4–8 hours, plus utility coordination and final inspection.
4. Does replacing an electrical panel increase home value?
Yes — modern panels are safer, support modern appliances, and are a selling point for buyers.
5. Can I upgrade my panel without upgrading the service?
Sometimes. A load calculation will determine if the existing service supports your needs.
6. Are permits and inspections required for panel upgrades?
Yes. We handle the entire process from permits to utility cutover to final inspection.
7. Do I really need a whole-home surge suppressor if I already use power strips?
Yes. Power strips only protect the devices plugged into them, and even then their protection is limited. A whole-home surge suppressor protects your entire electrical system—HVAC, appliances, TVs, computers, and sensitive electronics—against lightning strikes, utility surges, and internal surges caused by motors cycling on and off.
8. What types of surges does a whole-home surge protector guard against?
Whole-home surge suppressors protect against external surges (like lightning and power grid fluctuations) and internal surges created by appliances such as AC units, refrigerators, and well pumps. These internal surges are the most common and can slowly damage your electronics over time.
