Old and faulty electrical panels are not just annoying; they can present a number of risks to your home, family, and devices. A few of the most important risks they present include:
Problems with your home’s electrical panel can lead to dangerous overheating or arcing, which can trigger deadly housefires.
Appliances and delicate electronics can both be damaged by power surges, voltage fluctuations, or breakers that fail to trip.
You may not be able to secure homeowners insurance at all if you have a panel that’s known to be defective.
Your homeowners insurance company may deny claims if they find that you were aware that your panel was old or malfunctioning.
Increased resistance often occurs in aging panels, causing electricity to be turned into wasteful heat that you pay for.
Grounding problems and fused breakers may lead to fatal electric shocks upon contact with wires or metal components.
Home inspectors may flag outdated or faulty panels, potentially leading to delays or additional costs when selling your home.
Overheating wires can cause the insulation to off-gas, while electrical arcing can create lung-irritating ozone.

Still have questions about electrical panel upgrades, repairs, or replacements? We’ve rounded up a few of the most common questions our customers have and answered them below.
The costs associated with a panel upgrade will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the model selected, the condition of your home’s electrical system, and the amount of amperage you’re trying to achieve. However, most California homeowners pay between $2,000 and $6,000 to upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp service.
The permits for most residential panel upgrades cost about $150 to $400 in California, depending on the specific location you’re in and the details of the project.
Panel replacement typically takes one full day, but it can occasionally take longer if additional rewiring work is required.
Yes, in most cases, as long as the home’s wiring is up to code and in good condition, you can replace or upgrade a panel without needing to rewire the whole house.
No, homeowners insurance does not typically cover electric panel replacement, unless a one-time event (such as a flood or fire) damages the unit. Homeowners insurance does not usually cover products that fail due to age or wear and tear.
Outdated panels can produce a number of symptoms indicating that replacement is necessary, including breakers that trip frequently, corroded components, flickering lights throughout the home, or burning odors. Additionally, if your panel simply lacks the space to add new breakers, you may need to have it replaced whether it’s outdated or not.
Most electrical panels last for about 25 to 40 years before replacement is necessary, but it’s always a good idea to have panels inspected annually once they reach about 20 years of age.
Electric panel problems often cause sporadic or intermittent issues. One day, they cause flickering lights or feel warm to the touch, but the next, they don’t seem to have any problems at all. This is unfortunate, as it lulls many homeowners into a false sense of security.
It is possible that your electric panel may not need replacement — the problems you’ve noticed may be due to a wiring issue, faulty outlet, or any number of other causes. But panel safety isn’t something you want to leave to chance. Contact us today to schedule a panel evaluation and know where you stand.
