Electrical Panel Replacement Process

Here's How Your Panel Upgrade Happens

First, we evaluate your current electrical panel and home’s power needs. This includes checking your main service capacity, identifying any code violations, and determining the right panel size for your electrical demands.

Next, we handle the permit application with the city of Fremont and coordinate the utility company power disconnect. Your power stays on until replacement day, and we schedule the work when it’s most convenient for your family.

Installation day involves removing your old panel, installing the new electrical panel with proper grounding and bonding, and connecting all circuits. We test every breaker and circuit to ensure everything works correctly before the city inspector arrives for final approval.

Complete Electrical Panel Upgrade Service

Everything Included in Your Panel Replacement

Your electrical panel replacement includes the new panel box, all necessary breakers, proper grounding equipment, and updated labeling for every circuit. We handle permit applications, utility coordination, and final inspections.

Many Fremont homes built before 1990 need service upgrades along with panel replacement. We’ll assess whether your main electrical service can handle modern electrical loads or if you need a complete service upgrade from 100 to 200 amps.

We protect your home during installation with drop cloths and careful debris removal. Your electrical panel replacement comes with warranty coverage on both materials and workmanship, plus documentation for your insurance company and future home sales.

How long does electrical panel replacement take in Fremont?

Most electrical panel replacements take 4-6 hours once we start work. However, the complete process includes permit approval time, which typically takes 3-5 business days in Fremont. We coordinate with PG&E for the power disconnect and reconnection, which adds about an hour to the installation day. Your power is only off during the actual panel installation, not during the permit waiting period. We schedule the work to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

What's the cost of electrical panel replacement in Fremont?

Electrical panel replacement costs in Fremont typically range from $1,500 to $3,500, depending on panel size, complexity, and whether you need a service upgrade. Factors affecting price include your home’s current electrical setup, permit fees, and any additional electrical work needed to meet current codes. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your specific situation. Many homeowners find the investment pays for itself through increased home value and lower insurance premiums.

Do I need permits for electrical panel replacement in Fremont?

Yes, electrical panel replacement requires permits from the City of Fremont. We handle the entire permit process, including application submission, fee payment, and scheduling required inspections. Fremont requires both rough and final electrical inspections for panel replacements. Working without proper permits can create problems with insurance claims and home sales. We ensure your electrical panel installation meets all local codes and passes inspection the first time.

When should I replace my electrical panel?

Replace your electrical panel if it’s over 25 years old, uses outdated breaker types, or can’t handle your home’s electrical demands. Warning signs include frequent breaker trips, burning smells, rust or corrosion, and breakers that won’t stay reset. Insurance companies often require panel upgrades for homes with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or other problematic panel brands. If you’re planning major renovations or adding high-power appliances, your current panel might need upgrading to handle the increased electrical load.

What electrical panel brands do we install in Fremont?

We install reliable electrical panel brands including Square D, Siemens, and Eaton panels that meet current electrical codes and provide long-term reliability. These manufacturers offer excellent warranty coverage and readily available replacement parts. We don’t install cheap panels that might cause problems later. Your panel choice depends on your home’s electrical needs, available space, and budget. We’ll recommend the best option based on your specific situation and ensure compatibility with your existing electrical system.

Can I upgrade my electrical service during panel replacement?

Yes, many Fremont homeowners combine electrical panel replacement with service upgrades from 100 to 200 amps. This requires additional work including new service cables, meter base replacement, and coordination with PG&E. Service upgrades make sense if you’re adding electric vehicle charging, pool equipment, or major appliances. We’ll assess your current electrical service capacity and recommend whether an upgrade benefits your home. The additional cost is often worthwhile for the increased electrical capacity and home value.
