Electrical panel replacement is the single largest and most important part of your electrical system.

Making the right decision on its size, brand, and features is not ideal for a novice. It requires years of experience, knowledge, and training. We have all of these qualities and are prepared to answer all your questions.

Having been in the industry for nearly 25 years and having changed out hundreds of panels, we are experts in panel replacement and upgrades. Our Electrical Solutions Experts are highly experienced in panel replacement or panel upgrade. And we understand that sometimes just simply replacing breakers and tightening terminals is enough to prolong the life of the panel.

The manufacturer oftentimes determines when it should be replaced, and we recommend the replacement of any of the following:

• Pacific
• Zinsco
• Wadsworth
• Bulldog
• Sylvanic
• Fuse Boxes

Common Reasons for an Electrical Panel Replacement

There are many reasons to upgrade or replace your main electrical panel, and ones that are 20 years or older need to be inspected to determine if there are any signs of overload, arching, or heat. The following are the most common reasons to replace your electrical panel.

Age
The typical electrical panel is only really designed to last 20-25 years.

Condition
Your electrical panel can be damaged from loose connections, surges and heat.

Manufacturer
There are several panels that are known to be dangerous and have high fail rates such as Federal Pacific and Zysnco Panels.

More Space
As our world has evolved, so has our need for more devices and appliances, such as car chargers.

Some manufacturers still use very similar style panels and breakers, so while you may think you need a new panel, you may be able to save lots of money by simply tightening up all connections and replacing the breakers.

There are also cases where you may need multiple circuits in a particular area in your home, such as a basement. Or maybe you want the ability to separately meter an area that you may be renting out so you can keep the bill separate. That’s when installing a sub panel can make this possible.

If you need an electrical panel replacement, inspection, rejuvenation, or sub-panel installation, contact Brig Frog Electric. We’ll remove the old box and breakers replacing and installing an all-new up-to-date panel and breakers. And we will install new Arc Fault Breakers (which have a built-in computer that helps prevent electrical fires from happening) where and when we can.

Whatever your reason for an electrical panel replacement, our team of experts is here for you whenever the need may arise.
