ELECTRIC PANEL UPGRADE AND REPLACEMENT SERVICE
Genstar upgrades and replaces electric panels for homeowners and businesses whose service no longer matches their load. If your panel is full, tripping, or still a 100 amp load center feeding a house with central air, an EV charger, and a standby generator, the panel is the bottleneck.
We handle the whole job: load calculation, permit, utility coordination, the swap itself, and inspection. Electric panel installation on new construction and additions follows the same process. Most residential panel replacements run a single day with the power off for part of it. Most homes move from 100 amps to 200 amps, though some need 400 amp service or a subpanel instead. Genstar has been doing this work since 2009, with 21 people on the team under license ES12002362, and we take emergency calls 24 hours a day.
Electric Panel Replacement and New Panel Installation
Replacement and new installation run on the same track. We pull the permit, schedule the utility disconnect, remove the old load center, set the new panel, land the feeders, re-terminate every branch circuit, verify the main bonding jumper and grounding electrode conductor, install AFCI and GFCI breakers where the code requires them, label the circuit directory per NEC 408.4, and stay for inspection.
New construction and addition work is electric panel installation from scratch, including the meter socket, service mast, and subpanel feeders. If the panel is repairable, we say so. Electric panel repair on a sound enclosure with a failed breaker or a loose lug costs far less than a replacement.
WHAT A COMPLETE ELECTRIC PANEL UPGRADE COSTS?
Ask three things before you sign. First, who pulls the permit and meets the inspector? An unpermitted panel swap shows up at resale and in insurance claims. Second, does the quote include the load calculation, or is the amperage a guess? A 200 amp panel on undersized service entrance conductors is not a 200 amp service. Third, does the price include surge protection, the emergency disconnect, and grounding electrode work, or are those change orders after the wall is open?
Genstar quotes all of it up front and holds electrical contractor license ES12002362. Verify it before you hire anyone, including us.
Get Your Electric Panel Upgrade Quote
Tell us about your panel and meter, tell us what you are adding, and we will come back with the amperage you need and a price that includes the permit, the disconnect, and the surge protection. No change orders once the wall is open.
If your panel is arcing, hot to the touch, smells like burning, or has lost a leg of power, that is not a quote conversation. Call now and we will get someone out.
