Why a Panel Upgrade Matters More Than Ever

Do You Need a Panel Upgrade?

Common signs: breakers trip often, lights dim when appliances start, warm or buzzing panel, limited spare breaker space, planning EV charger/heat pump/ADU. We verify with load calculations and propose the safest path forward. If you’re adding major loads (EV charger, heat pump, ADU) you may need a 200 Amp Panel Upgrade. If you mainly need more spaces for a garage/addition, a Sub Panel Upgrade can be the cleaner solution. And if your biggest question is timing, here’s what to expect: How Long Does a Panel Upgrade Take?

How Much Is a Panel Upgrade? (And Why the Price Is Worth It)

A home electrical panel upgrade may feel like a big investment, but it prevents costly repairs, improves resale value, and supports energy-efficient upgrades like landscape lighting in Los Angeles.
