Electrical Panels

Panel upgrade costs depend on the amperage increase and any additional work required. Upgrading from a 100-amp to a 200-amp panel is the most common request. Above + Beyond provides upfront pricing after a thorough diagnostic so you know the exact investment before we begin.

We also offer flexible financing options to make panel upgrades accessible. A new panel is one of the best investments in your home's safety and capacity—especially if you're adding major appliances, an EV charger, or a home addition. All work is backed by our 1-year labor warranty.

Consider replacing your panel if it's over 25 years old, uses Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers (known safety hazards), has fuses instead of breakers, shows signs of corrosion or scorching, or can't keep up with your household's electrical demands. Frequent breaker trips are another clear signal.

A panel replacement from Above + Beyond ensures your home meets current electrical codes and can safely handle modern loads. Our licensed electricians inspect the entire system during the upgrade and address any wiring concerns they discover. Don't wait for a safety hazard—schedule an evaluation today.

A 100-amp panel delivers enough power for a small home with basic electrical needs—lights, standard appliances, and a few outlets per room. A 200-amp panel doubles that capacity, supporting modern demands like central HVAC, electric dryers, EV chargers, hot tubs, home offices, and smart-home systems.

Most homes built after 2000 come with 200-amp service, but older homes often still have 100-amp panels. Above + Beyond can evaluate whether your current panel meets your needs and perform the upgrade with minimal disruption. We handle the permit process and final inspection coordination as well.

A standard panel upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp service typically takes 4–8 hours to complete in a single day. If the utility company needs to disconnect and reconnect service, that may add coordination time. Above + Beyond handles all scheduling with the utility provider on your behalf.

More complex upgrades—such as relocating the panel, adding a sub-panel, or upgrading the meter base—can extend the timeline to 1–2 days. Our licensed electricians provide a clear schedule upfront so you can plan accordingly. We work efficiently to restore full power as quickly as possible.

A breaker that trips repeatedly is protecting your home from an overloaded, short-circuited, or ground-faulting circuit. Common causes include too many appliances on one circuit, a faulty appliance drawing excess current, damaged wiring, or a worn-out breaker that can no longer hold its rated load.

Never tape a breaker in the 'on' position or replace it with a higher-amp breaker—these are serious fire hazards. Instead, call Above + Beyond for a proper diagnosis. Our licensed electricians will identify the root cause, whether it's an overloaded circuit that needs splitting or a wiring issue that requires repair.

Certain panels are documented safety hazards. Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok panels, Zinsco panels, and some Challenger panels have high failure rates and are linked to house fires. If your home has one of these brands, replacement is strongly recommended regardless of apparent condition.

Even non-recalled panels can become hazards with age—corroded bus bars, loose connections, and deteriorating breakers all increase fire risk. Above + Beyond offers free panel safety evaluations. Our licensed team (OK-00176537) will assess your panel and provide honest recommendations with no pressure to upsell.
