FAQs
What are the most common signs that my Huntland home needs an electric panel upgrade?
Frequent breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, warm panel surfaces, burning smells, lack of spare breaker spaces, and panels older than 25-30 years (or those that still use screw-in fuses) are all indicators. You should also consider an upgrade if you are installing high-demand appliances, solar panels, or an EV charger.
What benefits will I see after upgrading my electrical panel?
A modern panel increases the available amperage, eliminates overloaded circuits, reduces fire risk, provides room for future circuits, helps lower insurance premiums, and brings your home up to current National Electrical Code and Tennessee state requirements—often boosting property value and buyer confidence.
What is the typical process and how long does a panel upgrade take?
Our skilled team starts with a load calculation and on-site assessment, secures the permit from Franklin County, coordinates with the utility for a temporary disconnect, removes the old panel, installs the new service equipment, and schedules the final inspection. Power is usually off 4–8 hours, and the entire project is generally completed in one day.
Do I need a permit or inspection in Huntland, and who handles it?
Yes. Any service upgrade in Huntland must be permitted and inspected under the 2020 NEC adopted by Tennessee. Our licensed, bonded, and insured electricians secure all permits, coordinate utility shut-offs, and meet the inspector so you do not have to manage any paperwork.
How much does an electric panel upgrade cost in the Huntland area?
For most homes the investment ranges from $1,800 to $3,500, depending on the panel amperage (100-to-200 A), meter base condition, wiring upgrades, and any service mast or grounding improvements. We offer free on-site quotes and upfront pricing so there are no surprises.
Can I stay in my house during the upgrade, and what should I prepare for?
You can remain at home, but plan for a 4–8-hour power outage. We recommend unplugging sensitive electronics, emptying icemakers, and keeping fridge doors closed. Our crew protects flooring, cleans the workspace, and restores power as quickly and safely as possible.
