Complete Panel Upgrade Solutions

Every electrical panel upgrade includes a full assessment of your home’s electrical needs. We upgrade panels from 100 amps to 200 amps or higher, depending on what your Sunnyland home requires.

You get new circuit breakers, updated wiring connections, and everything brought up to current electrical codes. We also install modern safety features that older panels don’t have.

Illinois homes built before 1990 often need panel upgrades to handle today’s electrical demands. Between air conditioning, computers, large appliances, and charging stations, your electrical system works harder than ever. We make sure it can handle the load safely and reliably.

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

Your panel likely needs an upgrade if your circuit breakers trip frequently, especially when you run multiple appliances at once. Flickering lights when you start large appliances like microwaves or air conditioners is another clear sign. If your home is more than 30 years old and still has the original electrical panel, it’s probably time for an upgrade. Older panels weren’t designed to handle the electrical demands of modern homes with computers, large TVs, and multiple charging devices. You should also consider an upgrade if you’re adding new appliances, installing an EV charger, or if your panel still uses fuses instead of circuit breakers.

What's the difference between 100 amp and 200 amp electrical panels?

A 100-amp panel can handle about 100 amps of electrical current, while a 200-amp panel can handle twice that amount. Most homes built before 1980 have 100-amp service, but today’s electrical demands often require 200-amp service. The difference matters because modern homes use significantly more electricity than older homes were designed for. With central air conditioning, electric dryers, computers, and other high-power devices, you need the extra capacity. A 200-amp panel also gives you room to add new circuits in the future without overloading your system. It’s essentially future-proofing your electrical system for whatever comes next.

How long does an electrical panel upgrade take to complete?

Most electrical panel upgrades take between 4 to 8 hours to complete, and we typically finish the job in a single day. The exact time depends on the complexity of your current setup and any additional work needed. We’ll need to shut off power to your home during parts of the installation, but we minimize the disruption as much as possible. We coordinate with you ahead of time so you know what to expect. If additional wiring or electrical work is needed beyond the panel itself, the project might take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start so there are no surprises.

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

Yes, upgrading your electrical panel typically increases your home’s value and makes it more attractive to potential buyers. A modern, up-to-code electrical system is a significant selling point that indicates the home is safe and well-maintained. Buyers often see an updated electrical panel as one less major expense they’ll need to handle after purchasing. It also means they can move in and use all their modern appliances without worrying about electrical capacity. Additionally, many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with updated electrical panels because they reduce the risk of electrical fires and other safety hazards.

Are there any rebates or tax credits for electrical panel upgrades?

Yes, there are federal tax credits available for electrical panel upgrades. You can claim up to 30% of the project cost, up to $600, for upgrades completed between 2023 and 2032, as long as the work meets National Electric Code requirements. Some utility companies also offer rebates for electrical panel upgrades, especially if you’re installing electric vehicle charging capabilities or other energy-efficient improvements. We can help you understand what incentives might be available for your specific situation. The tax credit alone can offset a significant portion of your upgrade cost, making it an even better investment in your home’s safety and functionality.

Can I upgrade my electrical panel myself or do I need a professional?

Electrical panel upgrades must be done by a licensed professional electrician. This isn’t a DIY project – working with electrical panels involves serious safety risks including electrocution and fire hazards. Professional installation is also required to meet electrical codes and permit requirements. Insurance companies typically won’t cover damage from DIY electrical work, which means you could be liable for any problems that arise. Licensed electricians have the training, tools, and experience to handle high-voltage electrical work safely. We also guarantee our work and can ensure everything meets current safety standards and local codes.
