Old residential electrical panel with circuit breakers that needs upgrading

WHY UPGRADE

Benefits of a Panel Upgrade

Enhanced Safety

Replace outdated fuse boxes and worn breakers that pose fire risks. Modern panels include arc-fault and ground-fault protection built in.
More Capacity

Go from 100A to 200A and power EV chargers, heat pumps, hot tubs, and home offices without tripping breakers.
Increase Home Value

A 200-amp panel is a selling point on any home inspection. Buyers and inspectors look for modern electrical — it pays for itself at resale.
Fewer Interruptions

Stop resetting breakers and worrying about overloads. A properly sized panel handles your daily life without compromise.
Future-Ready

Planning solar, a battery system, or an EV charger? You'll need a modern panel first. Upgrade once and you're set for decades.
Code Compliance

Older panels may not meet current NEC requirements. We bring everything up to code and handle all permits and inspections.

FAQ

Panel Upgrades & Replacements Questions From Everett Homeowners

Answers specific to panel upgrades & replacements in Everett, WA.

Contact Us

How much does a panel upgrade cost in Snohomish County?

Most residential panel upgrades range from $2,500 to $5,500 depending on the scope. A straightforward 100-amp to 200-amp upgrade is typically $2,500–$4,500. Fuse box replacements and meter base upgrades may cost more. We provide a transparent quote before any work begins.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most residential panel upgrades are completed in 4–8 hours — a single day. More complex projects, such as upgrading from 100A to 200A with a meter base replacement, may take a full day. We coordinate scheduling so you can plan around the downtime.

Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Washington?

Yes. Electrical panel work requires a permit in Washington State. We handle the entire permitting process and schedule the final inspection with the city so you don't have to worry about any of it.

What size panel do I need?

Most modern homes need 200-amp service. If you're adding an EV charger, heat pump, hot tub, or workshop, 200A is the minimum. During the consultation, we assess your specific electrical loads and recommend the right capacity.

Will I lose power during the upgrade?

Yes, power is off for a portion of the installation — typically 4–6 hours. We coordinate the timing with you in advance so you can plan around it. Critical items like medical equipment should be discussed during the assessment.

How do I know if my panel needs replacing?

Common signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, a burning smell near the panel, visible rust or corrosion, or a panel that still uses fuses instead of breakers. If your panel is over 25 years old, it's worth an assessment.

Can I add an EV charger without upgrading my panel?

It depends on your current panel's capacity. A Level 2 EV charger typically requires a 40–60 amp dedicated circuit. If your panel is already near capacity at 100 amps, you'll likely need to upgrade to 200 amps first. We assess this during the initial consultation.
