PANEL UPGRADES START WITH THE RIGHT EVALUATION
An electrical panel upgrade is more than swapping one box for another. The panel controls every circuit in your home, so its condition and capacity affect everything from daily appliance use to whether your home can support an EV charger or heat pump.
Prodigal Electric starts with an evaluation of your existing panel — its age, amperage, and condition — along with what your home needs now and what you’re planning to add. That evaluation determines whether a straightforward panel swap is enough, or whether a full service upgrade is the right call.
Panel work in our service area is closely tied to permitting and utility coordination. We handle the permit process and coordinate with your utility provider for the temporary disconnect and reconnect required to safely complete the work.
The goal is a panel sized correctly for your home today, with room for what you’re planning to add, installed and inspected to current code.
SIGNS YOUR HOME NEEDS A PANEL UPGRADE
A panel upgrade isn’t always obvious until it becomes a problem. Consider an upgrade if you’re noticing any of the following:
- Frequent Breaker Trips: Breakers that trip regularly are often a sign your panel can’t keep up with demand.
- A Fuse Box Instead of Breakers: Older fuse-based panels don’t meet current safety standards and can complicate insurance or home sales.
- Planning to Add an EV Charger or Heat Pump: Major new appliances often require more capacity than an older panel provides.
- Panel Is Over 25 Years Old: Aging panels are more likely to have worn components and outdated protection.
- Renovation or Addition Underway: New circuits for a remodel are a natural point to evaluate whether your panel needs to grow with the project.
