What You Get With Every Upgrade

Every electrical panel upgrade includes a complete assessment of your home’s electrical needs, professional installation of a modern circuit breaker panel, and thorough testing to ensure everything works properly.

In Orland Park, many homes built before the 1990s still have 100-amp panels that can’t handle today’s electrical demands. We typically upgrade these to 200-amp systems that provide plenty of capacity for modern appliances, home offices, and future additions.

You also get our military, first responder, senior, teacher, and student discounts because we believe in supporting our community. Plus, with federal tax credits available for qualifying panel upgrades, the investment often costs less than you’d expect.

Every job comes with our guarantee that your new panel will meet current electrical codes and provide reliable service for decades to come.

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Orland Park?

Most electrical panel upgrades in Orland Park range from $2,000 to $4,500, depending on your home’s specific needs and the amperage of your new panel. The cost includes the new panel, installation labor, permits, and any necessary electrical work to bring everything up to current codes. Several factors affect the final price: the amperage of your new panel (200-amp systems cost more than 100-amp), whether we need to relocate the panel, and how much rewiring is required. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what to expect. Remember that federal tax credits can reduce your out-of-pocket cost by up to 30% (maximum $600) for qualifying panel upgrades. We’ll help you understand what credits you may be eligible for and provide the documentation you need for your tax filing.

How long does an electrical panel upgrade take to complete?

Most electrical panel upgrades in Orland Park are completed in one day, typically 6-8 hours of work. However, the timeline can vary depending on the complexity of your installation and whether additional electrical work is needed. The process starts with obtaining permits from the Village of Orland Park, which we handle for you. Once permits are approved, we coordinate with ComEd to temporarily disconnect power during the installation. Your power is usually only off for 2-4 hours during the actual panel swap. If your upgrade requires significant rewiring or relocating the panel to a different location, the project might extend to two days. We’ll give you a clear timeline during our initial assessment so you can plan accordingly.

Do I really need to upgrade my electrical panel?

You likely need a panel upgrade if you’re experiencing frequent tripped breakers, flickering lights, or if your panel feels warm to the touch. These are signs that your electrical system is overloaded or aging beyond safe operation. Homes built before 1990 typically have 100-amp panels that weren’t designed for today’s electrical demands. Modern families use significantly more power than previous generations, with multiple computers, large appliances, and home charging stations that older panels simply can’t handle safely. If you’re planning to add an EV charger, hot tub, or major appliance, your current panel may not have the capacity. Rather than risk electrical fires or constant power issues, upgrading to a 200-amp panel provides the reliable foundation your home needs for current and future electrical demands.

Will upgrading my electrical panel increase my home's value?

Yes, electrical panel upgrades typically increase home value and are attractive to potential buyers. Real estate professionals consistently report that updated electrical systems are among the most important safety features buyers look for, especially in older homes. You can expect to recoup approximately 50% of your panel upgrade cost in increased home value. More importantly, having a modern electrical system removes a major concern for potential buyers and prevents them from requesting electrical updates as a condition of sale. Updated electrical panels also demonstrate that you’ve maintained your home properly and invested in its long-term safety and functionality. This gives buyers confidence that other major systems are likely in good condition as well.

What permits are required for electrical panel upgrades in Orland Park?

All electrical panel upgrades in Orland Park require permits from the Village’s Development Services Department before work can begin. The permit ensures your upgrade meets current electrical codes and safety standards. We handle the entire permit process for you, including submitting the application, providing required documentation, and scheduling inspections. The permit fee is typically included in our project cost, so you don’t have to worry about additional paperwork or fees. After installation, a Village inspector will verify that the work meets code requirements. We coordinate this inspection and address any issues if they arise. You’ll receive final approval documentation that’s important for insurance purposes and future home sales.

Can I add an EV charger after upgrading my electrical panel?

Absolutely – upgrading to a 200-amp panel provides plenty of capacity for EV chargers and other high-demand appliances. Most EV chargers require 240-volt circuits with 40-50 amp capacity, which older panels often can’t accommodate safely. When we upgrade your panel, we can include the necessary circuit and outlet for your EV charger installation. This is much more cost-effective than doing the electrical work separately later, and ensures your charging setup is properly integrated with your new electrical system. We’ll assess your garage or preferred charging location during the panel upgrade consultation. If you’re not ready to install the charger immediately, we can rough in the wiring and circuit so you’re ready when you are. This forward-thinking approach saves time and money down the road.
