Most Dallas–Fort Worth homes built before 1990 have electrical panels that are undersized for modern life. Here are the clear signs it is time to upgrade: Your panel is rated for 100 amps or less and your home is over 2,000 sq ft
- You have a Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok panel — documented fire hazard
- You have a Zinsco or Sylvania-Zinsco panel — breakers can melt onto the bus bar
- You still have an old fuse box with screw-in fuses instead of breakers
- Your breakers trip when you run the microwave and toaster oven simultaneously Show all 10 items

## Panel Upgrade Process: What to Expect

A panel upgrade is a significant project, but we minimize disruption and handle every detail:


- Step 1 — On-site evaluation: We inspect your current panel, load calculation, wiring condition, and service entrance. We determine the correct amperage and panel model for your home's needs.
- Step 2 — Written quote: A written, itemized quote with no hidden fees is provided. Quotes include the panel, breakers, permit, inspection, labor, and any necessary auxiliary work (meter base, grounding, etc.).
- Step 3 — Permit pulling: We apply for the electrical permit with your city (Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, etc.). Most permits are approved within 24–72 hours.
- Step 4 — Utility coordination: We schedule a temporary power disconnect with Oncor, TNMP, or CoServ. Power is typically off for 4–8 hours during the swap.
- Step 5 — Installation day: Our two-person crew removes the old panel, installs the new panel with all new breakers, upgrades the grounding system, and reconnects every circuit with fresh wire landing.
- Step 6 — Inspection: The city electrical inspector verifies code compliance. Clements Electric maintains a 99%+ first-pass rate.
- Step 7 — Utility reconnect and testing: Power is restored, every circuit is tested, and we walk you through your new panel's features and labeling.

## Panel Brands We Trust

Panels and breakers are sourced from the industry's most reliable manufacturers. Each brand has strengths depending on your priorities:


- Square D QO — Industry standard for residential. Excellent breaker reliability, widely available, and inspectors know them well. Best overall value.
- Square D Homeline — Budget-friendly residential line. Slightly lighter-duty than QO but perfectly adequate for most DFW homes.
- Siemens — Robust engineering with excellent bus bar design. Great for homes with high harmonic loads (electronics, variable-speed HVAC).
- Eaton CH — Premium residential panel with copper bus bars and the tightest breaker connection. Best for longevity and heavy loads.
- Eaton BR — Budget-friendly alternative to CH with good reliability. Common in production home builds. Show all 6 items

## Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a panel upgrade take? Most panel upgrades are completed in a single day (4–8 hours). Complex upgrades involving service mast replacement, meter relocation, or 400-amp service may take 1–2 days. Power is off during the swap, but we coordinate with your utility to minimize downtime.

Do I need to be home during the panel upgrade? Yes, someone over 18 needs to be present to provide access and sign off on the completed work. We also do a walkthrough with you after installation to explain the new panel, breaker labels, and any new features like surge protection.

Will upgrading my panel lower my electric bill? Not directly — a new panel does not use less electricity. However, a modern panel enables energy-efficient upgrades (lighting upgrades, high-efficiency HVAC, smart thermostats) that do lower your bill. The real value is safety, capacity for future additions, and insurance compliance.

Can you upgrade a panel in an apartment or condo? Yes, but the process differs from single-family homes. Multi-family buildings often have master meters and limited electrical rooms. Clements Electric coordinates with property management, HOAs, and the building's master electrician when applicable. Panel upgrades have been completed in condos across Uptown Dallas, Addison, and Fort Worth's Museum District.
