Signs You May Need Panel Replacement

  • Frequent breaker trips

  • Flickering or dimming lights

  • Burning smell near panel

  • Rust, corrosion, or water damage

  • Adding a generator, EV charger, or large appliances

  • Outdated fuse box

Not sure? We can inspect it and give you an honest recommendation.

What’s Included in a Professional Panel Replacement

When we replace a panel, we don’t just swap a box. We:

  • Evaluate load and service size

  • Install properly sized and type of breakers

  • Correct grounding and bonding if needed

  • Clean up wiring and labeling

  • Coordinate utility temporary disconnect, permitting and inspection when required

  • Test circuits before restoring full power

We don’t cut corners.

100 Amp to 200 Amp Upgrades

Many older homes in Kingwood and surrounding areas were built with 100-amp service. Today’s homes often need 200 amps for:

  • EV chargers

  • Portable generator interlocks

  • Tankless water heaters

  • Pool equipment

  • Home additions

We can evaluate your system and determine whether a service upgrade makes sense.

Electrical Panel Replacement – FAQs

Do I need a permit to replace my electrical panel?

In most cases, yes. Many jurisdictions require a permit and inspection for panel or service work. As a licensed Texas Electrical Contractor, we handle the permitting process when required and ensure the installation meets current code.

 

How much does it cost to replace an electrical panel?

Pricing depends on the service size (100A vs. 200A), condition of existing wiring, grounding upgrades, meter base requirements, and local permitting. The best way to get accurate pricing is with an on-site evaluation. We provide straightforward recommendations — no pressure.

 

How long will the power be off?

Most panel replacements are completed in one day. Power is typically off for several hours while the old panel is removed and the new one is installed and tested. We’ll clearly communicate what to expect before starting.

 

Should I upgrade from 100 amps to 200 amps?

Many older homes were built with 100-amp service. If you’re adding an EV charger, generator interlock, pool equipment, tankless water heater, or home addition, a 200-amp upgrade may be recommended. We perform load calculations to determine what your home actually needs.

 

My breakers keep tripping. Does that mean I need a new panel?

Not always. Tripping breakers can be caused by overloaded circuits, failing breakers, loose connections, or other issues. We can inspect your system and determine whether repair or replacement is the right solution.

 

Can you install whole-home surge protection during a panel replacement?

Yes. Panel replacement is an ideal time to install whole-home surge protection, and it’s often more cost-effective to do it at the same time.
