FAQs
Why would I need an electric panel upgrade for my Kodak home?
Older panels (typically 20–30+ years old) were not designed to handle today’s appliance-heavy lifestyles. If you are adding HVAC equipment, EV chargers, hot tubs, or simply notice frequent breaker trips, dimming lights, or warm breaker slots, your existing panel may be overloaded. Upgrading to a modern 200-amp (or larger) panel from Peace of Mind Electrical ensures you have the capacity, safety features, and code compliance necessary for reliable power now and in the future.
How can I tell if my current electrical panel is unsafe or outdated?
Warning signs include: a fuse box instead of circuit breakers; breakers that trip or won’t reset; buzzing, crackling, or burning odors around the panel; visible rust, scorching, or melted insulation; warm or hot breaker handles; insufficient breaker spaces resulting in doubled-up (“tandem”) circuits; and panels manufactured by recalled brands such as Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Sylvania. If any of these apply, schedule a professional inspection right away.
What happens during a professional panel upgrade from Peace of Mind Electrical?
1) Our licensed technician performs a load calculation and discusses your present and future power needs. 2) We obtain all required Sevier County or City of Kodak permits and coordinate Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) utility disconnects. 3) On installation day we shut off power, remove the old panel, upgrade service conductors and grounding where needed, and mount the new breaker panel with AFCI/GFCI protection per 2023 NEC code. 4) After labeling circuits, we restore power and schedule the final electrical inspection. 5) You receive documentation of the permit, inspection approval, and our workmanship warranty.
Will my power be off for a long time during the upgrade?
Most standard residential panel replacements take 4–8 hours. Power is usually off for 2–6 of those hours while conductors are re-terminated and the new panel is energized. We can install temporary power solutions for critical medical equipment or business operations if needed, and we always communicate the outage window in advance so you can plan accordingly.
Do I really need permits and inspections for a panel upgrade in Kodak?
Yes. The State of Tennessee, Sevier County, and local utilities require an electrical permit and a final inspection whenever the service equipment (meter base or main panel) is replaced or upgraded. This protects you, ensures insurance validity, and confirms the work meets the latest National Electrical Code. Peace of Mind Electrical handles all permitting and schedules the inspection so you don’t have to worry about paperwork or red tape.
How much does an electric panel upgrade cost and do you offer financing?
In Kodak, a straightforward 200-amp panel replacement typically ranges from $1,800 to $3,500, depending on panel location, meter/service upgrades, and grounding improvements. Larger service sizes, whole-home surge protection, or rewiring can increase the investment. Peace of Mind Electrical provides a free on-site estimate and offers flexible financing plans with approved credit, so you can spread the cost over manageable monthly payments while enjoying a safer, more capable electrical system right away.
