The panel is the heart of your electrical system, and many homes in Gardena are still running on one sized for a time before air conditioning, EV chargers and induction ranges. An electrical panel upgrade replaces the old breaker box and, where needed, the service equipment feeding it, so the house has room and capacity for the way you use power now.

Electrical panel upgrade questions from Gardena customers

How long will my power be off during a panel upgrade?

Plan on most of one working day. We schedule the utility disconnect and reconnect around the swap so the outage is as short as it can be, and we tell you the window in advance.

Do I need 200 amps?

For a typical all-electric or EV-ready home, 200 amps is the practical standard. Smaller homes with gas appliances may do well on 125 amps, and load management devices can sometimes postpone a service upgrade. We calculate your actual load before recommending a size.

Does a panel upgrade in Gardena require a permit?

Yes. A service or panel change requires an electrical permit and inspection, plus utility approval for the reconnect. We take care of all three.

Can you add a sub panel instead of replacing the main panel?

If the main service has enough capacity and is in good condition, a sub panel is an economical way to add breaker spaces. If the main panel itself is the weak point, replacing it is the better investment.
