Panel Upgrades and Replacements

An outdated breaker panel is more than an inconvenience - it's a safety risk. Older panels with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or fuse-based systems can overheat and fail to trip during overloads.

Our licensed electricians assess your current panel, determine the right amperage for your home (100A, 200A, or 400A), and handle the full replacement including permits and inspection. Every panel upgrade meets current NEC code and Virginia building standards.

FAQ

Electrician Questions

A 200-amp panel upgrade in the Lynchburg area typically runs $1,800-3,500 depending on the condition of your existing wiring, meter base, and whether the utility company needs to disconnect service. We provide free estimates so you know the exact cost before any work starts.

In Virginia, most electrical work beyond simple fixture swaps requires a permit and inspection. Our electricians handle all permit applications and schedule inspections as part of the job. This protects you and ensures the work meets code.

Warning signs include: breakers that trip frequently, a panel that feels warm to the touch, rust or corrosion inside the panel, Federal Pacific or Zinsco brand panels, fuse-based systems, or a panel rated below 100 amps. If your home was built before 1990 and the panel has never been upgraded, it's worth an inspection.
