Panel Upgrade & Replacement

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. If it’s outdated, overloaded, or unsafe, it can lead to frequent breaker trips, power loss, or serious safety risks. At Greenway Electric, we provide professional electrical panel upgrades, replacements, and breaker services to keep your home safe, reliable, and ready for today’s electrical demands.

When Do You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade?

Many homeowners don’t realize their panel is the problem until issues start stacking up. You may need a panel upgrade or replacement if breakers trip frequently or won’t reset, or if lights dim or flicker when appliances run. Other warning signs include smelling burning or hearing buzzing from the panel, or if your home still has a 100-amp service. Upgrades are also necessary when adding EV chargers, remodels, or major appliances, or if your panel is an older or recalled brand like Federal Pacific or Zinsco. If your electrical system can’t keep up, upgrading the panel protects your home and prevents future breakdowns.

Electrical Panel Replacement and Service Upgrades

Our residential panel services include the safe removal of outdated or unsafe panels and the installation of modern breaker panels designed to meet current electrical codes. We also provide panel upgrades to increase service capacity from 100A to 200A or 400A, supporting modern electrical loads, EV chargers, home additions, and high-demand appliances.

Breaker, Subpanel, and Capacity Services

Our comprehensive electrical solutions include breaker replacement and repairs, such as diagnosing and replacing failing breakers, nuisance tripping issues, and overheating breaker connections. We also handle subpanel installation for garages, workshops, additions, or future expansion. To ensure your system is prepared for these additions, we provide load calculations and capacity planning to evaluate your home’s current and future electrical needs, ensuring the panel is sized correctly without being oversized or undersized.

Permits, Inspections & Utility Coordination Included

Panel upgrades aren’t just electrical work — they involve coordination. We handle electrical permits, code-compliant installation, utility company coordination if a service disconnect is required, and final inspections. You don’t have to manage the process — we do it correctly from start to finish.

How Long Does a Panel Upgrade Take?

Most residential panel replacements or upgrades are completed in one day, depending on the panel size, service type, utility requirements, and inspection scheduling. We will walk you through the timeline before work begins so there are no surprises.

Is a Panel Upgrade Worth It?

Absolutely — especially if you plan to stay in your home. Benefits include improved electrical safety, fewer outages and breaker trips, and support for EV chargers and new appliances. Additionally, an upgraded panel leads to increased home value, code compliance, and peace of mind. An upgraded panel is one of the smartest long-term electrical investments a homeowner can make.
