Electrical Panel Replacement Process

Here's How We Replace Your Panel

First, we assess your current electrical setup and determine the right panel size for your home’s needs. We pull the necessary permits and schedule the work around your availability.

On installation day, we shut off power at the main line, remove your old panel, and install the new one with proper grounding and connections. We label every circuit clearly so you know what controls what.

After installation, we test everything to make sure it’s working correctly and schedule the city inspection. Once you pass inspection, you’re all set with reliable electrical service that can handle whatever you plug in.

Complete Electrical Panel Installation Service

What's Included in Your Panel Replacement

You get a properly sized electrical panel that matches your home’s power requirements. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with San Bruno’s inspection department so you don’t have to deal with city paperwork.

Every circuit gets clearly labeled, and we’ll walk you through how your new panel works. If we find any code violations or safety issues with your existing wiring during the installation, we’ll let you know what needs attention.

We clean up completely when we’re done. No electrical debris left behind, and your power is restored the same day in most cases.

How long does electrical panel replacement take in San Bruno?

Most electrical panel replacements take 4-8 hours to complete, depending on your home’s setup and whether we need to upgrade the electrical service from the street. We typically finish the same day we start, so you’re not without power overnight. If your home needs additional electrical work or if we run into unexpected wiring issues, it might extend into a second day, but we’ll let you know upfront if that’s likely to happen.

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

Yes, San Bruno requires permits for electrical panel replacement, and we handle that entire process for you. We pull the permits, schedule the required inspections, and make sure everything meets current electrical codes. The permit cost is typically included in our project quote, so you won’t get hit with surprise fees. Having proper permits protects you if you ever sell your home or need to file an insurance claim related to electrical issues.

How much does electrical panel replacement cost in San Bruno?

Electrical panel replacement in San Bruno typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000, depending on the panel size you need and whether your electrical service requires upgrading. Homes that need 200-amp service instead of older 100-amp service will be on the higher end of that range. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start any work. No hourly billing or surprise charges.

What are signs I need electrical panel replacement?

Frequent breaker trips, especially when using normal appliances, usually mean your panel can’t handle your power needs. Warm or hot electrical panels, buzzing sounds, or a burning smell around your electrical panel are safety red flags that need immediate attention. If your home has an old fuse box or a panel that’s 20+ years old, it’s probably time for an upgrade. Home inspectors often flag outdated panels, and some insurance companies require upgrades for coverage.

Can I upgrade my electrical panel to support electric vehicle charging?

Absolutely. Most EV charging stations require 240-volt service and significant electrical capacity that older panels can’t provide. We can install a panel that supports Level 2 EV charging along with all your other household electrical needs. This typically means upgrading to 200-amp service if you don’t already have it. We’ll assess your total electrical load requirements and size the panel appropriately so you can charge your vehicle without affecting the rest of your home’s power.

Will my power be off during the entire electrical panel replacement?

Your power will be off while we’re doing the actual panel swap, which usually takes 3-5 hours of the total project time. We coordinate with you to schedule this during a time that works best for your household. In some cases, we can restore power to part of your home while finishing up final connections and testing. We work efficiently to minimize the disruption, and most customers have full power restored the same day we start the replacement.
