Complete Electrical Panel Upgrade Service

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

Your electrical panel replacement includes the new panel, professional installation, all permits, and city inspection coordination. We upgrade your main breaker if needed and ensure proper grounding throughout your system.

Richmond District homes often need 200-amp service to handle modern electrical loads. We’ll tell you if your current service is adequate or if you need an upgrade from PG&E. Either way, we coordinate the entire process.

You also get clear labeling on every circuit, so you always know which breaker controls which area of your home. No more guessing or flipping random breakers when something trips.

How long does electrical panel replacement take in Richmond District?

Most electrical panel replacements take 4-6 hours once we start work. The timeline depends on your home’s wiring condition and whether you need a service upgrade. We coordinate with PG&E for the power disconnect and reconnection, which usually happens the same day. If your home needs rewiring or significant electrical updates, the project might extend to two days. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial assessment so you can plan accordingly.

What's the cost of electrical panel replacement in Richmond District?

Electrical panel replacement typically costs between $1,500-$4,000 depending on your panel size, home’s wiring condition, and permit requirements. A standard 200-amp panel replacement runs around $2,500-$3,500 including permits and labor. If you need a service upgrade from PG&E or significant rewiring, costs increase accordingly. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Richmond District’s older homes sometimes need additional work to meet current codes, which we’ll identify during our assessment.

Do I need permits for electrical panel replacement in San Francisco?

Yes, electrical panel replacement requires permits from the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. We handle all permit applications and scheduling for you. The permit ensures your installation meets current electrical codes and protects your home’s value. After installation, a city inspector verifies the work meets safety standards. We coordinate the inspection and make any required adjustments. Having proper permits is essential for insurance claims and future home sales, so we never skip this step.

Should I replace my Federal Pacific or Zinsco electrical panel?

Yes, Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels should be replaced immediately. These panels have documented safety issues and higher fire risks than modern panels. Many insurance companies won’t cover homes with these panels, and they often fail electrical inspections during home sales. Federal Pacific breakers sometimes don’t trip when they should, creating dangerous overload conditions. Zinsco panels have similar reliability problems. If you have either brand, replacement isn’t just recommended – it’s necessary for your family’s safety.

Will electrical panel replacement increase my Richmond District home value?

Electrical panel replacement typically adds $3,000-$5,000 to your home’s value while eliminating buyer concerns about electrical safety. Richmond District homes with updated electrical systems sell faster and for better prices than those with outdated panels. Modern panels also reduce insurance costs and eliminate the risk of deals falling through due to electrical issues. When buyers see a recently upgraded electrical system, they know they won’t face immediate electrical expenses. It’s one of the home improvements that pays for itself in safety, functionality, and resale value.

Can I upgrade my electrical panel from 100 amp to 200 amp?

Most Richmond District homes can upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp service, but it requires coordination with PG&E and additional electrical work. We assess your home’s electrical needs and determine if a service upgrade is necessary. The upgrade involves installing new service lines from the street, a new meter base, and the panel itself. PG&E handles the utility connection while we manage everything from the meter to your home’s circuits. This upgrade eliminates power limitations and supports modern appliances, electric vehicle charging, and future electrical needs.
