Panel Upgrades
The Heart of Your Electrical System
Think of your electrical panel as the heart of your home. It pumps electricity to every room, outlet, and appliance you own. But if your home was built 30 or 40 years ago, that heart might be struggling to keep up.
Back then, we didn’t have multiple computers, smart fridges, heat pumps, or electric vehicles. Today, our power needs are much higher. If you are planning a renovation or adding a hot tub, you need to make sure your system can handle the load. If you are looking for an electrical panel upgrade Tacoma homeowners trust to modernize their property, we are here to do the heavy lifting safely and correctly.
When Is It Time for an Upgrade?
You Are Adding New Appliances
This is the most common reason we see. If you are installing a hot tub, a central A/C unit, or an EV charger, your current 100-amp panel likely won't have enough "room" to power them. We can upgrade you to a 200-amp service that handles everything with ease.
Flickering Lights & Tripping Breakers
If your lights dim every time the vacuum turns on, or if you can’t run the microwave and the toaster at the same time without tripping a breaker, your panel is maxed out. An upgrade creates a dedicated space for every circuit, so your flow of power is smooth and steady.
Insurance Requirements & Safety
Some older panels (like Federal Pacific or Zinsco) have known safety defects and can be fire hazards. Many insurance companies will actually require you to replace them before they will insure the home. If you have been searching for electrical panel replacement because an inspector flagged your panel, we can swap it out for a modern, code-compliant, reliable brand.

FAQs
Common Questions About Panels
How long will the power be out?
Do I really need 200 amps?
For most modern homes, yes. The old standard was 100 amps, but with in home EV charging, heat pumps, and modern electronics, 100 amps is often not enough. Upgrading to 200 amps “future-proofs” your home, ensuring you have plenty of capacity for whatever you add in the coming years.
Is it safe to keep my old fuse box?
