Residential Electrical 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 If it’s outdated, overloaded, or unsafe, it can lead to frequent breaker trips, power loss, or serious safety risks.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
-
Lights dim or flicker when appliances run
-
You smell burning or hear buzzing from the panel
-
Your home still has a 100-amp service
-
You’re adding EV chargers, remodels, or major appliances
-
Your panel is an older or recalled brand (Federal Pacific, Zinsco, etc.)
If your electrical system can’t keep up, upgrading the panel protects your home and prevents future breakdowns.
