FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my electrical panel?
Modern households use far more electricity than panels installed 20–40 years ago were designed to handle. Upgrading your panel increases the available amperage, reduces the risk of overloaded circuits, prevents nuisance breaker trips, improves overall fire safety, and provides the capacity needed for high-demand appliances, EV chargers, solar interconnections, and future home additions.
How can I tell if my Englewood home needs an electric panel upgrade?
Common warning signs include frequent breaker trips, buzzing or crackling sounds from the panel, lights that dim when large appliances start, warm breaker switches, a panel rated at 60–100 amps, presence of fuses instead of breakers, or visible corrosion. If you plan to add HVAC equipment, a hot tub, or an EV charger, you will also need more capacity. A licensed Englewood electrician can perform a load calculation and inspection to confirm the need.
What is involved in the upgrade process and how long will it take?
1. On-site evaluation and load calculation 2. Permit application with Englewood’s building department 3. Utility coordination to disconnect power on the scheduled day 4. Removal of the existing panel and installation of a new 150–200 A (or larger) service panel, breakers, grounding, and bonding 5. Re-energizing the service, utility inspection, and final city inspection Most standard residential upgrades are completed in one working day, with permitting adding 1–2 weeks of lead time.
Will an upgraded panel improve the safety and value of my property?
Yes. A new panel reduces fire hazards associated with overloaded, outdated, or recalled equipment (such as certain Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels). Insurance companies often give favorable rates for updated electrical systems, and home appraisers note the upgrade as a value-adding improvement. Prospective buyers appreciate a modern, code-compliant electrical infrastructure that can support today’s technology.
Do I need permits for an electric panel upgrade in Englewood, and do your technicians handle them?
Electrical service upgrades require a permit and inspections by the City of Englewood (or Arapahoe/Sarasota County, depending on jurisdiction). Our licensed technicians manage the entire permitting process, including drawings, fees, and coordination with the utility provider. We schedule and attend all inspections to ensure full compliance with the latest NEC and local amendments.
What does an electric panel upgrade cost in Englewood?
For most single-family homes, prices range from $1,800 to $3,500, depending on amperage, meter/service entrance upgrades, grounding upgrades, and any rewiring required to meet current code. Large homes, multi-unit buildings, or projects requiring utility service relocation can exceed this range.
