FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my electric panel in an older Rogersville home?
Homes built more than 20–30 years ago were designed for much lighter electrical loads. Modern HVAC equipment, kitchen appliances, home offices, EV chargers, and smart-home devices can easily overwhelm a 60- or 100-amp panel. Upgrading to a new 200-amp (or larger) service increases available power, prevents nuisance breaker trips, eliminates dangerous overheating, and positions your home to handle future technology without costly stop-gap fixes.
What are the common warning signs that my current panel is undersized or unsafe?
Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights when large appliances start, warm or buzzing breakers, rust or corrosion inside the panel, a burning smell, or the presence of outdated fuse boxes and recalled brands such as Federal Pacific or Zinsco are all red flags. If you notice any of these conditions, schedule an inspection immediately; they can indicate fire hazards or hidden wiring problems.
What does a professional electric panel upgrade involve, and how long will my power be off?
After an on-site assessment, we obtain the necessary Rogersville permits and coordinate with the utility to shut power off on the day of work. We then remove the old panel, install a new larger main breaker panel, upgrade service entrance conductors, reconnect branch circuits, label all breakers, and complete a grounding/bonding update. Most single-family projects are finished the same day, keeping power off for 4–8 hours. Larger homes or service relocations may extend to a second day, but we always plan around your schedule to minimize disruption.
Do I really need a permit and inspection for a panel upgrade in Rogersville?
Yes. The City of Rogersville and Greene/Christian County (depending on your address) require a licensed electrician to pull an electrical permit for any service upgrade. After work is completed, a municipal inspector verifies that the installation meets the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) as well as local amendments. Skipping this step can void homeowners insurance and may prevent the utility from reconnecting your power.
How much does a typical panel upgrade cost, and what factors influence the price?
In Rogersville, a straightforward 200-amp upgrade for a standard-sized home usually ranges from $1,800 to $3,200, which includes labor, materials, permit fees, and the utility reconnect. Costs rise when the meter base or service mast must be relocated, when the panel is inside an inaccessible closet, when aluminum wiring has to be pig-tailed with copper, or when you add surge protection, whole-house AFCI/GFCI breakers, or generator interlock kits.

How does your company ensure quality craftsmanship and long-term safety during an upgrade?
Our technicians are state-licensed, insured, and manufacturer-trained. We use only UL-listed panels and breakers, torque every lug to spec with calibrated tools, and install copper or copper-clad conductors for superior conductivity. All terminations are labeled clearly for future servicing. We follow NEC Article 250 for grounding, use tamper-resistant breakers where code requires, and back our workmanship with a transferable 5-year warranty. Finally, we walk you through the new panel, explain breaker functions, and give maintenance tips to keep your electrical system trouble-free for decades.
