What Is an Electrical Panel Upgrade?

Your electrical panel (also called a breaker box or service panel) is the heart of your home’s power system. It controls how electricity is distributed and protects your circuits from overload. Over time, panels can become outdated or inadequate for your current usage.

A panel upgrade typically involves:

Replacing the main panel and breakers
Upgrading service capacity (e.g., from 100 amps to 200 amps)
Installing modern safety features (e.g., AFCI and GFCI breakers)
Ensuring code compliance and grounding

This upgrade allows you to add new circuits, safely power larger appliances, and reduce the risk of fire or outages caused by overloads.

Signs You Need a Panel Upgrade

Frequent breaker trips
Flickering or dimming lights
Burning smells or warm panel covers
Fuse boxes instead of breakers
Limited or no space for new circuits
Upgrading appliances or HVAC systems
Adding an EV charger or hot tub
Home built before 1990 and never upgraded

If you recognize any of these signs, call Legit Electric for a professional inspection and honest recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most residential upgrades are completed in one day. Larger or more complex systems may require additional time and coordination with the utility company.

What size panel do I need?

We perform load calculations to determine the right size. Most modern homes benefit from a 200 amp panel for flexibility and future growth.

Do I need to upgrade my panel to add a new circuit?

Possibly. If your panel is full or lacks capacity, we may recommend an upgrade or the addition of a subpanel.

Will I need to be without power during the upgrade?

Yes, but only temporarily. We coordinate the power shut-off with your utility provider and restore it as quickly as possible—usually the same day.

Is a permit required for this work?

Yes. We obtain all necessary permits and schedule inspections to ensure full compliance with local codes and safety standards.
