FAQs

Why should I consider upgrading my electric panel in Cowan?

Older panels—especially those installed 20–40 years ago—were not designed for today’s higher electrical loads. Upgrading to a modern premium panel improves safety by reducing the risk of overloads and fires, accommodates new high-demand appliances (HVAC, EV chargers, hot tubs), and ensures compliance with current Cowan and Tennessee electrical codes. A new panel also increases home value and can lower insurance premiums because insurers view upgraded systems as lower-risk.

What are the common signs that my home needs an electric panel upgrade?

Frequent breaker trips or fuses blowing, dimming or flickering lights when large appliances start, warm or buzzing breakers, lack of space for new circuits, and panels rated at 60–100 amps are key indicators. If your panel is a recalled brand (e.g., Federal Pacific or Zinsco), contains fuses instead of breakers, or shows signs of rust or burning, schedule an inspection immediately. Even without visible issues, homeowners planning renovations or adding major appliances in Cowan should have their panel’s capacity evaluated.

What makes your premium electric panel upgrades different from a basic replacement?

Our premium packages include high-quality copper bus bar panels rated 200 A or higher, full AFCI/GFCI protection per latest NEC requirements, whole-home surge protection, and labeling for every circuit. We conduct a detailed load calculation, balance phases to optimize efficiency, and upgrade service entrance conductors and grounding to current standards. All work is performed by licensed, insured electricians familiar with Cowan’s permitting process, and every project includes a post-installation inspection and a 5-year workmanship warranty.

How long does an electric panel upgrade typically take, and will my power be off the entire time?

A standard 150- or 200-amp panel swap usually takes one working day (6–8 hours). Power is typically shut off for 3–6 hours while the old panel is removed, service conductors are re-terminated, and the new panel is wired. We coordinate with the local utility so service is restored the same day. More complex upgrades that involve meter base replacement or rewiring of multiple circuits can extend into a second day, but we’ll provide a detailed timeline beforehand so you can plan accordingly.

Do I need permits or inspections for an electric panel upgrade in Cowan?

Yes. The State of Tennessee and the City of Cowan require an electrical permit for any service upgrade or panel replacement. Our team handles the permit application, schedules the required rough-in and final inspections with the city or county inspector, and remains on-site during inspections to address any questions. Upgrading without a permit can lead to fines, code violations, and difficulties when selling your home, so always ensure the work is properly documented.

What will my panel upgrade cost, and do you offer financing or rebates?

Costs vary with amperage, the condition of existing wiring, and whether service entrance equipment also needs replacement. In Cowan, a straightforward 200-amp premium panel upgrade typically ranges from $2,000 to $3,500; projects involving meter base relocation, extensive rewiring, or trenching for underground service can run higher. We provide written, no-obligation quotes after an on-site evaluation. Zero-interest financing plans up to 18 months are available, and we help homeowners apply for applicable TVA energy-efficiency rebates or local utility incentives to offset part of the investment.
