How long does a breaker panel replacement take?

Most breaker panel replacements can be completed in a single day, though the exact timeline depends on the size of the home and whether additional upgrades, like rewiring, are needed.

Can I replace my own breaker panel?

Breaker panel replacement is not a DIY project. It involves working directly with high-voltage electricity and requires permits, inspections, and adherence to electrical codes. For safety and compliance, a licensed electrician must handle the work.

Will replacing my breaker panel increase my home’s value?

Yes, upgrading your breaker panel can increase resale value by making your home more attractive to buyers. A new panel signals a safe, modern electrical system that can handle today’s appliances and technology.

How do I know if my breaker panel is recalled or unsafe?

Certain brands and models, especially older panels like Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) and Zinsco, have been linked to safety hazards. An inspection from a licensed electrician can confirm if your panel is on the list of recalled or unsafe models.

Do I need to upgrade my electrical service when replacing a panel?

In many cases, yes. If your home currently has 100-amp service and you’re upgrading to 200 amps, the service line from the utility company and your meter base may also need to be updated to handle the added capacity.

What Is a Breaker Panel and Why Replace It?

A breaker panel, also called an electrical panel or service panel, is the hub that distributes electricity from the utility line throughout your home while protecting circuits from overloads. Over time, panels can wear out or become outdated, especially in older homes that weren’t designed to handle today’s power demands. Frequent breaker trips, buzzing sounds, rust, or a panel that’s more than 20 years old are all warning signs it may be time for an upgrade. Replacing your breaker panel not only improves safety and efficiency but also prepares your home to support modern appliances, HVAC systems, and smart technology. If you’ve noticed these issues, schedule a breaker panel replacement with Hoover today.

Hoover did an excellent job with our underground sewer repair and refurbishment. Needed to replace a section of pipe which collapsed and then a follow-up with trenchless liner install (CIPP) from the house, out to the connection with the city main. An expensive repair, but it would be with any company. They were able to help us out and reduce from their original estimate. The cost is in the equipment for the UV light cured pipe liner. Hoover’s technicians were all friendly and professional and answered all my many questions. Would recommend them to anyone facing similar circumstances.

Tyler came out and was completely professional and personable. I assumed I was just looking for an unclogging, however Tyler was able to find what the real problem and was able to get me scheduled for a repair because unfortunately it wasn't a simple unclogging. From the first phone call to their main office to the end result has been great!

First impressions are everything to me. I have to say that Hoover Electric (the services we needed) far exceeded anything I could have anticipated! Tristan, you were fantastic, personable and incredibly patient in diagnosing the issue we were dealing with. To the receptionist (I'm so sorry I can't remember your name!!) thank you. Thank you for listening, for being so understanding and accommodating. You did not have to stay on the phone with me as long as you did and listen to all of the woes we have been going through recently, but you did and I am beyond grateful. You have yourselves a new lifetime customer.

Hoover completed the job I had booked which was quite extensive. Let me tell you. The work that Hoover did was exceptional. Super clean work. Incredibly respectful of the homeowner. I will call Hoover for any needs going forward. They were spot on with timing, and kept me updated every single step of the way. Also they made sure I was happy before they left and they asked how I wanted things done such as how would I like the conduit ran. That stuff matters. It’s the little things. Call Hoover for all of your needs!
