A panel upgrade can mean replacing an old or damaged panel, increasing the service size, or adding capacity for new loads. It's permitted work, often involves the utility, and needs planning around a short power outage. See the panel upgrade guide.
When to call
- Breakers trip often, or the panel is warm or buzzing
- No space for new breakers, or lots of tandem breakers
- You're adding an EV charger, pool heater, generator or larger AC
- An insurer or inspector flagged the panel
- The panel shows corrosion, damage or water intrusion
What the work covers
Load assessment
Calculating what the home uses now and what you're planning to add.
Equipment selection
Panel size and type, breakers, and whether surge protection should be included.
Permit and utility coordination
The licensed contractor pulls the permit and coordinates with the utility when the service changes.
Installation and inspection
Replacing the panel, labeling circuits, testing, and scheduling the required inspection.
How we do it
We look at the existing panel and service, ask about planned additions, and do a load calculation. You get written options. Once you choose, we pull the permit, schedule the outage window with you (and the utility if needed), install, test, label every circuit and book the inspection.
Your options
| Option | When it fits |
|---|---|
| Panel replacement, same size | The panel is aging or damaged but capacity is adequate. |
| Service upgrade | Planned loads exceed the existing service. |
| Load management | A new load can be managed without increasing the service, in some cases. |
| Subpanel | Additional circuits are needed in a garage, addition or outbuilding. |
What affects the price
You get a written estimate after diagnosis or a site assessment, before any work starts. These are the things that move the number:
- Panel and service size
- Utility coordination and meter work
- Permit and inspection
- Condition of existing wiring
- Location and access
More detail is in our Naples electrician cost guide.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the power off?
Typically several hours for a panel replacement; longer if the utility must reconnect a new service. We'll schedule it with you.
Do I need a 200-amp service?
Not necessarily. A load calculation decides it, not a rule of thumb.
Will an upgrade help with insurance?
It can address panel concerns on an insurance inspection. See four-point inspections.
