When a electrical panel inspection is necessary

If any of the following sound familiar, an inspection is the right next step.

Breakers trip often or feel warm

Frequent tripping, overheating breakers, or buzzing panels often indicate overloaded circuits, loose connections, or failing bus bars that require immediate evaluation.

Your insurance company flagged the panel

Certain panel brands or outdated equipment may trigger underwriting concerns, requiring inspection, documentation, or replacement to maintain coverage eligibility.

You’re installing an EV charger or generator

High-demand equipment requires verified load calculations, dedicated circuits, and proper service capacity to meet NEC standards and avoid system overload.

The panel is outdated or undersized

Older 60–100 amp panels or fuse boxes may lack modern safety features, AFCI protection, and sufficient capacity for today’s electrical loads.

FAQ

Answers to what homeowners ask us most often.

What is an electrical panel and why is it important?

An electrical panel is the main distribution point for electricity in your home. It receives power from the utility company and safely distributes it to each circuit.

Your electrical panel:

  • Protects your home from overloads and short circuits

  • Controls power to lighting, outlets, and appliances

  • Determines how much electrical capacity your home can handle

If the panel is outdated or overloaded, it can become a serious safety risk.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be inspected?

You should schedule an inspection if you notice:

  • Breakers that trip frequently

  • Flickering or dimming lights

  • A burning smell near the panel

  • Rust, corrosion, or visible damage

  • Your home is 20 to 30+ years old

  • You are installing an EV charger or generator

An inspection identifies safety issues and determines whether your electrical panel can safely support your home’s electrical demand.

What happens during an electrical panel inspection?

During the inspection, a licensed electrician will:

  • Open and examine the electrical panel

  • Check breakers for wear or overheating

  • Inspect wiring connections and grounding

  • Perform a load calculation

  • Identify code violations or safety hazards

After the evaluation, you receive clear recommendations and next steps.

When do I need an electrical panel upgrade?

An electrical panel upgrade may be necessary if:

  • Your home has a 100-amp panel and you need more capacity

  • You are adding high-demand equipment like an EV charger

  • Your insurance company requires an upgrade

  • The panel is outdated, unsafe, or no longer code-compliant

  • The panel brand has known safety concerns

Upgrading your electrical panel improves safety, reliability, and future expansion capacity.

 

What size electrical panel does my home need?

Most modern homes require a 150-amp or 200-amp electrical panel, depending on:

  • Square footage

  • Number of appliances

  • HVAC systems

  • EV chargers or generators

A load calculation during the inspection determines the appropriate panel size for your home.

Is it dangerous to keep an old electrical panel?

Yes, especially if the panel is damaged, overloaded, or obsolete.

Risks of an outdated electrical panel include:

  • Electrical fires

  • Overheating breakers

  • Failed inspections

  • Insurance coverage issues

If your panel shows signs of wear or malfunction, it should be evaluated as soon as possible.

How long does an electrical panel upgrade take?

Most residential electrical panel upgrades can be completed in one day.

The exact timeline depends on:

  • The condition of existing wiring

  • Utility company coordination

  • Permit and inspection requirements

Your electrician will explain the full process before work begins.

Do I need a permit to upgrade my electrical panel?

Yes. Electrical panel upgrades typically require:

  • A permit

  • Utility coordination

  • A final inspection by the local authority

The contractor handles the permitting process and ensures the work meets current electrical code requirements.

Will my power be turned off during the upgrade?

Yes. Power must be temporarily shut off to safely replace the electrical panel.

Most outages last a few hours and are scheduled in advance to minimize disruption.

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost?

The cost depends on:

  • Panel size

  • Condition of existing wiring

  • Service capacity upgrades

  • Permit and utility requirements

After the inspection, you receive a detailed quote outlining the recommended solution and pricing.
