FAQs
Why should I consider an electric panel upgrade for my Huntland home?
Older panels may not be designed to handle today’s power demands from high-efficiency HVAC systems, smart appliances, and home-office electronics. Upgrading ensures adequate amperage (typically 200 A), reduces the risk of breaker trips, prevents overheating and potential electrical fires, and allows for future additions such as EV chargers or solar power.
How can I tell if my current electrical panel is outdated or unsafe?
Common signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, a panel warm to the touch, lack of room for additional circuits, rust or corrosion on the box, and the presence of fuses instead of breakers. Panels over 25–30 years old or branded as Zinsco, Federal Pacific, or Challenger should be inspected immediately, as these models have known safety issues.
What is involved in an electric panel upgrade?
A licensed electrician will evaluate your home’s load requirements, secure any required Huntland or Franklin County permits, disconnect power, remove the old panel, upgrade service entrance cables, install a new meter base if needed, mount and wire the new breaker panel, label circuits, and coordinate with the utility company for power restoration. Finally, a local inspector verifies code compliance.
How long does an electric panel upgrade typically take?
Most residential upgrades are completed in one working day—about 4–8 hours of onsite labor—provided there are no major wiring corrections. Power will be shut off during part of this time, so we advise planning ahead for refrigeration needs, computer shutdowns, and medical equipment.
What is the cost of upgrading an electrical panel in Huntland?
Pricing varies by amperage, panel brand, grounding upgrades, and any required service entrance replacements. In Huntland, a straightforward 200-amp upgrade usually ranges from $1,800–$3,500, while larger 400-amp services or extensive rewiring can exceed $5,000. We provide a free onsite estimate detailing labor, materials, permits, and inspection fees.
Will an upgraded electrical panel increase my property value or insurance savings?
Yes. Real estate agents often highlight modern 200-amp panels as a selling point, especially for homes older than 1990. Insurers may offer lower premiums because newer panels reduce fire risk. Plus, you gain capacity for energy-efficient appliances or renewable energy systems, which enhance long-term resale appeal.
