Expert Circuit Breaker Panel Upgrade and Installation Services in Los Angeles and Nearby Areas

Signs you may need a new panel include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, lack of available breaker slots, or if your current panel is outdated (such as fuse boxes or panels from discontinued brands like Zinsco or Federal Pacific). A new panel ensures your electrical system can handle modern energy demands.

There are three main types:

• Main Breaker Panels: Control power supply to your entire home.
• Subpanels: Extend circuit capacity to specific areas like garages or additions.
• Transfer Switch Panels: Used for backup generators, ensuring safe power during outages.

Yes, in most cases, you can upgrade your panel without a full house rewiring. However, if the wiring is outdated or unsafe, it may need attention. Our technicians evaluate your system and provide a solution tailored to your needs.

The number depends on your home’s size and electrical needs. For example:

• Small homes may need 12-24 circuits.
• Larger homes or those with energy-heavy appliances (like EV chargers or HVAC systems) may require 30-40+ circuits.

The process typically takes 4 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the job and the type of panel being installed. Additional time may be required if upgrades or repairs to wiring are needed.

Breakers are selected based on your home’s electrical requirements and the panel’s specifications:

• Standard Breakers: For general circuits like lighting and outlets.
• GFCI Breakers: For areas near water, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
• AFCI Breakers: For preventing electrical fires in living spaces.
• Dual Function Breakers: Combine GFCI and AFCI protection for optimal safety.

Yes, subpanels are ideal for extending your electrical system to detached garages, home additions, or other areas where additional circuits are needed. They improve system efficiency and simplify future upgrades.

An upgraded panel provides:

• Increased electrical capacity for modern appliances and devices.
• Improved safety with updated breakers and surge protection.
• Reduced risk of electrical issues, such as flickering lights or tripped breakers.

Frequent tripping may indicate:

• Overloaded circuits.
• A short circuit or ground fault.
• A malfunctioning breaker. Contact a licensed electrician to inspect the issue and recommend repairs or upgrades.

Amperage refers to the maximum amount of electrical current a panel can handle. Residential panels typically range from 100 to 400 amps, depending on the size of the home and its electrical needs.

The amperage of your panel is usually labeled on the main breaker at the top of the panel. Common residential panels are 100, 150, 200, or 400 amps. If you’re unsure, a licensed electrician can inspect your panel and verify its capacity.

The required amperage depends on your home’s size, appliances, and future electrical needs:

• 100 amps: Suitable for small homes with basic electrical needs.
• 150 amps: Ideal for medium-sized homes with some modern appliances.
• 200 amps: Standard for most modern homes with high electrical demands.
• 400 amps: Recommended for large homes or those with multiple energy-intensive systems like EV chargers, pools, or workshops.
