FAQs
How do I know if my Corryton home needs an electric panel upgrade?
Common warning signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm or buzzing panels, a burning smell near the breaker box, or the presence of old screw-in fuses instead of modern breakers. If you are adding high-demand appliances such as HVAC equipment, EV chargers, or a hot tub, you’ll likely exceed the capacity of a 60- or 100-amp panel and should consider upgrading to 150–200 amps. A licensed Peace of Mind Electrical technician can perform a load calculation and safety inspection to confirm whether an upgrade is necessary.
What are the benefits of upgrading my electrical panel with Peace of Mind Electrical?
A new panel provides higher amperage to power today’s electronics and appliances, reduces the risk of overheating and electrical fires, eliminates nuisance breaker trips, and often lowers homeowners-insurance premiums. We install modern panels with copper bus bars, whole-home surge protection, and arc-fault/ground-fault breakers for maximum safety. Every project is backed by our workmanship warranty and a detailed post-installation inspection report for your records and peace of mind.
How much does an electric panel upgrade cost in Corryton?
Most residential upgrades to 200 amps fall between $2,000 and $4,000, including parts, labor, permits, and the utility disconnection/reconnection fee. Costs vary with panel size, wiring condition, meter base relocation, and any code-required additions such as surge protection or tamper-resistant outlets. We provide a free on-site estimate, break down every line item, and offer financing options so you can spread payments over time.
Will I need a permit or inspection for an electric panel replacement?
Yes. Knox County and the City of Knoxville require an electrical permit for any service or panel upgrade, followed by a final inspection. Peace of Mind Electrical handles all paperwork, schedules the inspection, and coordinates with KUB or LCUB to disconnect and reconnect power. You’ll receive a copy of the passed inspection certificate for your insurance company and future resale documentation.
How long does the upgrade take and will my power be off?
A standard panel change-out typically takes one working day. Our crew arrives in the morning, shuts off the main supply, removes the old equipment, installs the new panel and meter base, and re-energizes the home by late afternoon once the utility approves. Expect 4–6 hours without power; sensitive electronics should be shut down beforehand, and refrigerators/freezers typically stay cold if doors remain closed.
Can I stay in my home during the panel upgrade, and how should I prepare?
Most clients stay home. We ask that you clear a 3-foot workspace in front of the panel, secure pets, and make sure someone 18 or older is present to sign paperwork. Unplug computers and entertainment systems or use a UPS to prevent data loss. If you rely on medical equipment, let us know so we can arrange a temporary generator. Once the upgrade is complete, we label every circuit and walk you through the new breaker panel for full peace of mind.
