FAQs

Why should I upgrade my electrical panel?

Upgrading your electrical panel ensures that your home or business can handle modern electrical demands. Older panels may not support new appliances or technology, leading to potential overloads, frequent tripping of circuit breakers, and even fire hazards. An upgrade improves safety, efficiency, and can increase property value.

How do I know if my electric panel needs an upgrade?

Signs that your electric panel needs an upgrade include flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, the use of multiple extension cords, outdated fuse boxes, warm or discolored panels, and the addition of new high-powered appliances. If your home still uses a 60-amp service, it’s highly recommended to upgrade to avoid potential risks and improve functionality.

What is involved in upgrading an electrical panel?

Upgrading an electrical panel involves replacing the outdated panel with a new one that has a higher capacity for handling electrical loads. This process includes assessing your current system, obtaining necessary permits, disconnecting the old panel, installing the new panel, and reconnecting the existing circuits. A licensed electrician ensures the upgrade is done safely and meets local codes and regulations.

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost?

The cost of upgrading an electrical panel can vary based on several factors, including the size of the panel, the complexity of the installation, and local labor rates. On average, the cost can range from $1,500 to $3,000. It’s best to get a detailed quote from a licensed electrician in Seymour to understand the specific investment required for your situation.

How long does the electrical panel upgrade process take?

The duration of an electrical panel upgrade typically takes between 4 to 8 hours. The exact time depends on the complexity of the job, the condition of your existing wiring, and whether any additional electrical work is required. A licensed electrician will provide a more accurate timeline after assessing your specific needs.

Do I need a permit for an electrical panel upgrade?

Yes, a permit is generally required for an electrical panel upgrade. The permit ensures that the work complies with local electrical codes and safety standards. A licensed electrician will handle the permit process, including scheduling inspections with local authorities to ensure the upgrade is performed correctly and safely.

What our customers say

David Nicholson did an amazing job with the panel upgrade at our home. He spent hours here doing the job efficiently. We can now rest easier in our home knowing that there is no longer the fire hazard due to have out of date electrical panel. Thanks for such hard work. Also, want to give thanks for Jesse spending hours here walking me through the process and managing his staff and assigning the correct worker to jobs. Jesse is a hard worker and great electrician. Thank you both for the hard worker. Both employees are assets to the company.

I called HEP on Monday to request assistance with our breaker panel. Our main breaker went bad and we only had power in half of the house, no a/c. They were booked up for Monday but got to me first thing this morning, Tuesday, and had the main replaced in no time at all. Kudos go to the service man, Jack Loy for the quality of his work. Thank you HEP for the response time and getting us in the cool once again. As it says on the truck, Happy Wife, Happy Life.

On October 4, 2023, an electrician (Joshua Butler) from HEP Inc. arrived promptly and provided his expertise and experience to install a whole house surge protector and replace a few inoperable electrical outlets. His services were flawless, and he completed the assigned tasks on time. Lastly, Joshua adequately disposed of all waste generated. Job well done, and mega-thanks!
