FAQs
Why might I need an electric panel upgrade for my Luttrell home?
Homes in Luttrell built 20–40+ years ago often have 60–100-amp panels that can’t safely handle today’s appliance loads (HVAC, EV chargers, hot tubs, computers). An upgrade increases amperage capacity, adds modern safety breakers (AFCI/GFCI), and reduces nuisance tripping or fire risk.
What does your “personalized approach” to panel upgrades mean?
Instead of a one-size-fits-all quote, we start with an on-site evaluation of your existing wiring, future load requirements, and budget. We then design a custom upgrade plan—selecting the right amperage, breaker types, and surge protection—and walk you through every step before any work begins.
How long does an electric panel replacement usually take?
Most Luttrell residential panel upgrades are completed in one day: 2–3 hours to de-energize, remove, and mount the new panel; 2–4 hours to transfer circuits, label, and test; and 1 hour for utility/power company re-connection and city inspection. Complex rewiring or meter upgrades can extend the job to 2 days.
Will I need a permit or inspection in Union County for this work?
Yes. Union County electrical code requires a permit for any service upgrade or panel replacement. Our team handles the application, schedules the inspection, and coordinates with Knoxville Utilities Board (or your local utility) so you’re fully compliant without extra paperwork on your end.
How much does a typical panel upgrade cost in Luttrell?
Prices vary with amperage (100-, 150-, or 200-amp), panel brand, and any additional grounding or surge gear. In Luttrell, expect $1,600–$2,400 for a straightforward 200-amp swap, rising to $3,000+ if meter bases, service risers, or whole-home surge protectors are added. We provide a fixed, written proposal after the evaluation.
Will upgrading my panel improve home resale value or insurance rates?
Yes. Modern panels with AFCI/GFCI protection can lower homeowners’ insurance premiums by reducing electrical-fire risk. Realtors also note that buyers are more confident in homes with 200-amp service, up-to-date breakers, and clearly labeled circuits, which can translate into faster sales and stronger offers.
