6 Signs It's Time for a Panel Upgrade
If any of these sound familiar, your panel may not be keeping up with your home.
Breakers Trip Often
Regular trips or flickering lights mean your panel is being pushed past its limit.
Federal Pacific, Zinsco or Sylvania Panel
These older panel brands are known fire-risk hazards and are a common reason insurers require an upgrade.
Adding an EV Charger or Solar
Most 100-amp panels can't support a Level 2 charger and solar/battery at the same time.
Warm or Buzzing Panel
Heat or noise at the panel is a warning sign that should never wait.
Home Is 40+ Years Old
Older homes were rarely wired for today's appliance and device loads.
Selling Your Home or Insuring It
Many insurers and buyers now require an updated panel to close or renew coverage.

★★★★★ 5.0 out of 5 — 14 Google reviews
"Highly recommend! Great service, excellent work. Panel replacement went smooth despite delays from the power company, Mark even found ways to save us money where possible. Love the smart lighting he got setup for us too."
"I was asked to replace my panel by my insurance company. I requested quotes from many electricians... Mark's quotation beat everyone by miles. My house is 60 years old with an overhead service line — Mark handled all the complications like a pro."
"Mark did an amazing job! I hired him to install new lighting throughout my mom's house — I especially love the Lutron switches he installed, and my husband loves controlling the lights from his app."
"Mark replaced our old 1950's panel and straightened out the wiring, which was a hot mess. Mark didn't try to upsell us — several others that bid the job did, but he gave us exactly what we wanted. Honesty and integrity is how this guy operates."
"One of the best decisions I have made was hiring Mark Smith of 1st Place Electric. Not once did I feel pressured, nor that he was giving me a sales pitch. His work spoke volumes for his professionalism."
"Mark is an exceptional electrician. I had him upgrade my electric service, and he arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the job with expert precision. I would gladly give him 6 stars if I could."
