Panel Changes

When Your Panel Needs Replacing

An electrical panel that's too small, outdated, or showing signs of wear isn't just an inconvenience—it's a safety issue. If you're tripping breakers regularly, planning a major renovation, or still running a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, it's time for a panel change.

We replace residential and light commercial panels throughout New Jersey, pulling permits and scheduling inspections so everything is done to code. You'll get a modern panel sized for your actual electrical load, with room to grow.

What a Panel Change Involves

We don't just swap the box. A proper panel change means coordinating with your utility, upgrading the service if needed, installing a new panel with the correct amperage, and labeling every circuit clearly. All work is permitted and inspected.

Common reasons for a panel change:

• Upgrading from 100A to 200A service to support HVAC, EV chargers, or kitchen remodels
• Replacing fire-hazard panels like Federal Pacific (FPE) or Zinsco
• Adding capacity for home additions or new appliances
• Correcting code violations found during home inspections

Code Compliance and Permits

Every panel change we do is permitted through your local municipality and inspected by the AHJ. We handle the paperwork, coordinate utility disconnects and reconnects, and make sure the final inspection passes the first time.

What to Expect

The work typically takes one full day, depending on the scope. Power will be off for part of the job—we'll walk you through timing so you can plan accordingly. When we're done, you'll have a clean install, a passed inspection, and a panel that's safe and code-compliant.
