FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my electric panel in Graysville?
Older panels may be undersized for today’s power demands and can become a safety hazard. Upgrading helps prevent overloaded circuits, reduces the risk of electrical fires, ensures compliance with current Graysville and Alabama electrical codes, and supports new high-demand appliances such as EV chargers, HVAC systems, or modern kitchens.
What signs indicate my current panel needs an upgrade?
Common warning signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm or discolored breakers, a fuse-style panel, a panel rated below 150 amps, or the presence of obsolete brands (e.g., Federal Pacific or Zinsco). If you plan major renovations or add large appliances, a proactive upgrade is also recommended.
How much does an electric panel upgrade typically cost in the Graysville area?
Costs generally range from $1,600 to $3,500 for a 200-amp breaker panel, depending on panel location, wiring complexity, and whether the service entrance or meter base also needs replacement. A site visit is required for an exact quote, and we provide free, no-obligation estimates within Graysville and surrounding Jefferson County.
How long will the panel upgrade take, and will my power be off the entire time?
A standard 100-to-200-amp panel swap takes about one business day. Power is usually shut off for 3–6 hours while we remove the old panel, install the new one, and complete safety tests. We schedule the outage with Alabama Power ahead of time and restore critical circuits via a temporary generator when needed.
Do I need permits or inspections for an electric panel upgrade?
Yes. Jefferson County requires an electrical permit and a final inspection for any service upgrade. Our licensed master electrician handles all permitting, coordinates utility disconnect/reconnect, and meets with the inspector so you don’t have to worry about paperwork or compliance.
