Panel Upgrades

An electrical panel upgrade replaces your home's main breaker panel with a new unit that can handle modern electrical demands. Most homes built before 1990 have 100-amp service panels. Today's households run electric dryers, HVAC systems, EV chargers, and high-draw kitchen appliances simultaneously. A 100-amp panel often cannot keep pace, leading to frequent breaker trips and safety concerns.

Signs your panel may need upgrading

• Breakers trip frequently when multiple appliances are running
• You want to add an EV charger or new large appliance circuit
• The panel is more than 30 years old or still uses fuses
• Lights dim when the HVAC system starts
• You are planning a home addition or finishing a basement

What the upgrade includes

We replace the panel box, main breaker, and breakers. Where needed, we also replace the meter base and service entrance conductors. All work is performed to the National Electrical Code and Lexington-Fayette County requirements. We file the permit, schedule the city inspection, and coordinate the temporary utility disconnect and reconnect so you only have to talk to one company.

Serving Lexington neighborhoods

We upgrade panels throughout Fayette County including Chevy Chase, Kenwick, Ashland Park, Beaumont, Tates Creek, and Hamburg. Many older homes in Chevy Chase and Kenwick still have 60 or 100-amp service that cannot safely support modern loads.

Panel upgrades start at $1,800 for a standard 200-amp residential upgrade, including the permit fee. Call 859-555-0140 for a free estimate on your specific situation.
