The usual reasons a DFW homeowner calls us about the panel: A load calculation shows a 100-amp or smaller service cannot carry the loads you have or plan to add
- You have a Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok panel. CPSC testing confirmed some Stab-Lok breakers fail UL calibration tests
- You have a Zinsco or Sylvania-Zinsco panel: obsolete, no longer made, and routinely flagged by home inspectors
- You still have a fuse box with screw-in fuses instead of breakers
- Breakers trip when two kitchen appliances run at once Show all 8 items

## Our Panel Upgrade Services

From evaluation to final inspection, the work is ours:


- 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrades, with a new meter base, service entrance cable and grounding where the service needs them
- 200-amp to 400-amp upgrades for large homes, workshops and properties with more than one building

## Panel Upgrade Process: What to Expect

What happens, in order:


- Step 1 — On-site evaluation: we look at the panel, the meter base, the service entrance and the grounding, and run a load calculation to set the amperage.
- Step 2 — Written quote: a flat-rate or itemized quote covering the panel, breakers, permit, inspection, labor and any meter base or grounding work.
- Step 3 — Permit: we apply to your city. Turnaround varies by city.
- Step 4 — Utility coordination: we schedule the disconnect and reconnect with your utility (Oncor, TNMP or CoServ, depending on the address). Power is typically off for 4–8 hours during the swap.
- Step 5 — Installation: the old panel comes out, the new panel goes in with new breakers, the grounding is brought up to the current requirements, and every circuit is reconnected and labeled.
- Step 6 — Inspection: the city electrical inspector checks the work against the code edition your city enforces.
- Step 7 — Reconnect and testing: power is restored, every circuit is tested, and we walk you through the new panel.

## Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Dallas–Fort Worth? A 100-amp to 200-amp panel replacement typically runs $2,200–$4,800 all in, including the panel, breakers, permit, inspection and labor. It is an estimate: the meter base, service entrance condition, grounding and panel location move the price, and 400-amp or generator-ready panels are quoted separately. After an on-site load calculation you get a written flat-rate quote, or a detailed itemized one if you prefer.

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? Someone needs to be there to give access at the start and to walk through the finished work. That walkthrough covers the new panel, the breaker labels and anything added, such as surge protection.

Will upgrading my panel lower my electric bill? No. A panel does not use electricity, so replacing it does not change the bill. What it buys is safety and capacity for new loads.

Can you upgrade a panel in an apartment or condo? Yes, but it works differently from a house. The unit panel is often fed from meter stacks or a main distribution panel the owner or HOA controls, so we coordinate the work and the outage with property management or the HOA. See our multifamily electrical page for building-level work.
