Residential Panel Upgrade Services

Complete Electrical Panel Solutions

Your electrical panel upgrade includes everything needed for safe, reliable power. We install new circuit breaker panels, upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp service, and add subpanels when needed.

Tinley Park homes built before 1990 often need panel upgrades to handle modern electrical loads. We see this constantly in neighborhoods like Harlem Woods and Canterbury Commons where older homes struggle with today’s power demands.

We also handle the details that matter: proper grounding, GFCI protection where required, and bringing everything up to current electrical codes. Your upgrade includes permits, inspections, and coordination with ComEd for any service changes.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs upgrading?

You’ll notice warning signs before serious problems develop. Lights that flicker when appliances turn on, circuit breakers that trip frequently, or outlets that don’t work properly all point to panel issues. If your home is over 30 years old and still has the original electrical panel, you likely need an upgrade. Modern homes use significantly more electricity than panels from the 1980s and 1990s were designed to handle. Burning smells, warm electrical panels, or scorch marks around outlets require immediate attention. These are safety hazards that shouldn’t wait.

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

A 100-amp panel provides enough power for basic electrical needs but struggles with modern demands. If you have central air conditioning, electric heating, or plan to add an EV charger, 100 amps isn’t enough. 200-amp service handles today’s electrical loads comfortably. You can run multiple high-power appliances simultaneously without tripping breakers or causing voltage drops. Most Tinley Park homes built after 2000 have 200-amp service. Older homes with 100-amp panels often need upgrades when homeowners add major appliances or experience frequent electrical problems.

How long does an electrical panel upgrade take?

Most residential panel upgrades take 4-8 hours to complete. Simple panel replacements on the lower end, more complex upgrades involving service changes on the higher end. Your power will be off during the installation, typically 2-4 hours for the actual panel work. We coordinate with ComEd for any utility disconnections and reconnections. Weather can affect timing if we need utility company involvement. We’ll give you a realistic timeline before starting and keep you updated throughout the process.

Do I need permits for electrical panel upgrades?

Yes, electrical panel upgrades require permits in Tinley Park. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The Village of Tinley Park requires electrical permits for panel replacements, service upgrades, and major electrical work. This protects you and ensures the work meets current safety codes. We schedule inspections and coordinate with local inspectors. You don’t need to deal with paperwork or worry about compliance issues. Everything is included in your panel upgrade service.

What does an electrical panel upgrade cost?

Panel upgrade costs depend on your specific situation. Simple panel replacements typically cost less than full service upgrades that require utility company involvement. Most Tinley Park homeowners invest between $1,500 and $3,000 for complete panel upgrades. This includes the panel, installation, permits, and inspections. We provide upfront pricing before starting work. No surprises or hidden fees. We also offer discounts for military members, first responders, seniors, teachers, and new customers.

Can I upgrade my electrical panel myself?

Electrical panel work requires professional installation. This isn’t a DIY project due to safety risks and code requirements. Working with electrical panels involves live wires, utility connections, and complex safety procedures. Mistakes can cause fires, electrocution, or code violations that affect your home insurance. Licensed electricians have the training, tools, and permits needed for safe panel upgrades. We also provide warranties on our work and handle inspections to ensure everything meets local codes.
