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 Over time, panels can wear out or become outdated, especially in older homes that weren’t designed to handle today’s power demands.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.

Tristan and Matt initially came and conducted a complete home electrical inspection. They the provided us with a description of what they observed and the estimated cost, should we decide to allow Hoover to execute the work that was required. Matt, Eric and Ryan returned a week later and completed the job. The TEAM went above and beyond to ensure that the works requested (installing new lights, changing and upgrading panels etc.) were done to our satisfaction. They were thorough in what they did and would love if they received a bonus. GREAT JOB!

We continue to be Highly Satisfied customers of Hoover! Sean performed a complete electrical inspection of our home, available through our annual home warranty program with them, then he explained everything that he checked, made recommendations of what can be improved/updated and helped me prioritize what we should first address. He was so patient and kind in dealing with a senior, who is just learning the ins and outs of necessary home maintenance!
