FAQs
Why might I need an electric panel upgrade for my Jellico home or business?
Many Jellico properties still rely on 60-100 amp fuse boxes or early breaker panels that were never designed to run today’s high-demand appliances, HVAC equipment, smart devices, and EV chargers. An undersized or obsolete panel can overheat, trip breakers frequently, limit future renovations, and even void some insurance policies. Upgrading to a modern 200-amp (or larger) panel ensures you have the capacity, safety features, and code compliance required for present and future electrical loads.
What “state-of-the-art” technologies do you include in your panel upgrades?
Our upgrades feature premium copper bus bars for lower resistance, factory-installed whole-home surge protection, combination AFCI/GFCI breakers for arc-flash and ground-fault safety, and smart metering modules that pair with a free mobile app. The app lets you monitor real-time energy use, receive overload alerts, and remotely shut off selected circuits—ideal for second homes or rental properties in Jellico. We also install solar-ready and EV-ready breaker spaces so you can add renewable energy or charging stations later without replacing the panel again.
How can I tell if my current electrical panel is outdated or unsafe?
Warning signs include frequent breaker trips, lights that dim when large appliances start, warm or discolored breaker slots, buzzing sounds, and panels manufactured by brands that have been recalled (e.g., certain Federal Pacific or Zinsco models). If your panel is over 25–30 years old, still uses screw-in fuses, or is rated below 150 amps, a licensed electrician should evaluate it. Our technicians offer complimentary on-site assessments anywhere in Jellico to identify capacity issues, hidden corrosion, or code violations.
What is the typical timeline and process for a panel upgrade in Jellico?
Most residential upgrades take one full workday. We begin with a permit application through Campbell County Building & Codes, coordinate the utility disconnect, and label every existing circuit. On installation day we remove the old panel, install a new service entrance cable and grounding system if needed, mount the upgraded panel, and re-terminate each circuit with torque-verified connections. After a same-day utility reconnection, a county inspector signs off on the workmanship, and we provide a detailed load-calculation report plus a 5-year labor warranty.
Do I need to secure permits or schedule inspections myself?
No. We handle the entire compliance process, including the Campbell County permit filing, coordination with Jellico Electric & Water System for temporary power shutoff, and arranging the final inspection. You’ll receive copies of all approved documentation for your records, which can be important when refinancing, selling your property, or validating insurance coverage.
What long-term benefits will I gain from upgrading my electrical panel now?
Besides immediate safety and reliability, an upgraded panel supports higher energy efficiency by reducing line losses and allowing balanced circuit distribution. The built-in surge protection prolongs the life of sensitive electronics, while the smart monitoring platform helps you spot energy hogs and cut utility costs. When you’re ready to add solar, battery storage, or an EV charger, the expansion slots and higher service rating mean no further main-panel work—saving thousands in additional labor and permitting fees.
