Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About Electrical Panel Replacement

What’s included in your panel upgrade packages?

When you choose Electrical Connections, you don’t just get a new panel; you get peace of mind. Every Complete Panel Package includes:

  • A brand-new electrical panel, along with the main power connections
  • Expert installation by licensed electricians
  • All required permits and inspections
  • Pinpoint circuit labeling for easy use
  • Properly sized breakers for your circuits
  • A complete grounding system for safety

Can I get a tax credit for upgrading my electrical panel?

In some cases, yes. Under certain federal energy efficiency programs, homeowners may qualify for a tax credit when upgrading to an electric panel that supports specific technologies. Eligibility depends on the type of upgrade, your location, and current government incentives.

How long does it take to replace an electrical panel?

Most panel replacements can be completed in a single day. However, timing depends on your home’s electrical layout and whether any upgrades to wiring are needed.

Do I need a permit to replace my electrical panel?

Yes, permits are typically required. Our team handles all necessary permits and inspections to ensure your project meets code requirements.

Can I replace an electrical panel myself?

Panel replacement involves live electrical work and coding requirements. It should always be performed by a licensed electrician to avoid safety hazards and ensure compliance with local codes.

Will replacing my electrical panel increase my home’s value?

Upgrading your panel can improve safety, energy efficiency, and your home’s ability to handle modern electrical loads. A new, efficient panel is an attractive feature for future buyers.

What size electrical panel do I need?

The right panel size depends on your home’s energy needs. We’ll assess your current usage and future plans (like EV chargers or renovations) to recommend the right capacity.

What is the difference between a fuse box and an electrical panel?

A fuse box uses fuses that melt when overloaded, cutting power to protect the circuit. Once a fuse blows, it must be replaced. In contrast, a modern electrical panel uses circuit breakers that can simply be reset after tripping. Panels are safer, more convenient, and better suited for modern homes with high electrical demands.

Electrical Connection’s service was great. Josh, the technician who worked on our project, went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the results and offered solid alternatives along the way. He was detail‑oriented and did a great job covering the holes in the drywall. As with any job like this, we’ll still need to finish and paint, but he patched everything up really well. This was a major project that included replacing a breaker panel and a few other smaller improvements. I’d definitely call them again when the time comes.

Super easy to schedule and work with. We got recessed lights put into two rooms, and our electrician James was informative and helpful, being detailed and upfront throughout the job. He continued to be helpful through any questions we had. Definitely recommend!

Highly recommend Electrical Connections and Josh T specifically. We had an issue with our gas water heater, and EC / Josh were a huge help in the midst of a chaotic couple of days trying to make decisions on repair/replace, and gas vs heat pump water heaters. EC was easy to get in touch with, got me connected quickly and scheduled with Josh, who arrived on time, did a thorough inspection, and gave me a no pressure set of options to consider. He was incredibly responsive as we worked through final plumbing quotes and was able to adjust his schedule with the dispatcher to do the electrical work the same day so we could get our water heater replaced ASAP. Josh went above and beyond and was professional and a pleasure to work with throughout the process. I can’t thank Josh and EC enough for helping make this experience less stressful for our family.

Franklin was wonderful. He was so thorough and clearly walked us through the work and the issues he uncovered (including some possible fire hazards that we are SO thankful he resolved). He was also just very friendly and nice to have around! Whenever we need an electrician again, we will be happy to have him back.

Kisan Jones is an excellent electrician. This is the second time I've interacted with him. He told me what he was going to do, he did what he said and explained it to me thoroughly before and after. Both times he was in teaching mode with an apprentice by his side. I hope it was a good experience for them because I learned a lot myself. Not only that, he saved me thousands of dollars as the "other" company was only trying to upsell me. He's respectful, personable and knows his business. The other staff was responsive, caring and alert to my concerns. I highly recommend this company.

Peter Aurgaur and Jeremiah Castillo did a great job today replacing/upgrading my breaker panel. They worked very well together to efficiently perform all aspects of the job. I look forward to getting a successful inspection and then closing outage work when Pepco arrives to work with Peter to up date my meter and housing.
