For homeowners looking to extend their electrical circuits to new areas of their home, the main panel might not always be the most accessible or practical solution. Enter the Sub-Panel.
- What we do: We’ll install a smaller electrical panel, often referred to as a sub-panel, which draws power from the main panel. It’s perfect for home additions, outdoor spaces, workshops, or any area that requires multiple circuits.
- Benefits: Sub-panels offer flexibility. They allow homeowners to control the electricity in a particular area without affecting the main panel. They’re also more efficient for spaces far from the main panel.

F.A.Q.
Frequent Questions
Why Should I Upgrade My Electrical Panel?
Answer: Upgrading your electrical panel ensures your home or business can handle increased electrical demands, improves safety by reducing the risk of electrical fires, and brings your system up to current codes and standards. It’s especially important if you have an older panel, are adding new appliances, or experiencing frequent circuit breaker trips.
What Are the Signs That My Electrical Panel Needs to Be Replaced?
Answer: Common signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, a burning smell near the panel, outdated or unsafe panels (such as those made by Federal Pacific Electric or Zinsco), and the need for additional circuits to support new appliances or renovations.
How Long Does an Electrical Panel Upgrade Take?
Answer: The duration of an electrical panel upgrade can vary, but typically it takes between 4 to 8 hours. This can depend on the complexity of the job, the condition of the existing wiring, and any unforeseen issues that may arise during the upgrade process.
Will I Need to Rewire My Home When Upgrading the Electrical Panel?
Answer: Not necessarily. An electrical panel upgrade focuses on replacing the panel itself and improving the overall capacity and safety of your electrical system. However, if the existing wiring is outdated, damaged, or insufficient, additional rewiring may be required to ensure safety and compliance with current electrical codes. Your electrician will assess the condition of your wiring and advise you accordingly.
