Older homes in California were wired for a different era. Add an EV charger, a heat pump, an induction range or an ADU and a 100 amp panel runs out of room fast. Phasethree Electric handles electrical panel upgrades in California from permit to final inspection, including 100 amp to 200 amp service upgrades, breaker box replacement, fuse box replacement and sub panel installation.

Signs your California home needs a panel upgrade

Breakers that trip when two appliances run, warm or buzzing panel covers, a fuse box instead of breakers, no open slots, rust or scorch marks, or a brand with a known failure history such as Federal Pacific, Zinsco or Sylvania. Insurance carriers and buyers in every County often flag these panels during a sale.

What a 200 amp service upgrade includes

New main breaker panel, new grounding and bonding to current code, labeled circuits, meter socket and service entrance work coordinated with the utility, permit and city inspection. Where you want to keep the existing panel we can add a sub panel for a garage, workshop, ADU or EV charger.

Electrical panel upgrade cost in California

Cost depends on amperage, whether the meter and service entrance need replacing, and how the utility feeds the property. We give a fixed written price after a short on-site evaluation. Call (833) 652-8933 to schedule one in California or nearby Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco.
