Question 1

How do I know whether my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?

Accepted Answer

Signs that your electrical panel may need attention include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, buzzing or heat around the panel, limited space for additional circuits, or an older panel that can no longer support your home’s electrical needs. Davis Electric can evaluate your current system and recommend the appropriate solution.

Question 2

Do I need a 200-amp electrical panel?

Accepted Answer

Not every home needs 200-amp service. The right panel size depends on your home’s current electrical usage and any future additions, such as an EV charger, generator, new appliance, pool, or home renovation. We can assess your electrical needs before recommending an upgrade.

Question 3

How long does an electrical panel upgrade take?

Accepted Answer

Many electrical panel upgrades can be completed in one day, although the exact timeline depends on the condition of the existing system, the scope of the work, permit requirements, inspections, and coordination with the utility company.

Question 4

Will my power be turned off during the upgrade?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Power must typically be turned off while the electrical panel is being replaced or upgraded. We will explain what to expect beforehand and work efficiently to minimize the amount of time your home is without power.
