Electrical Panel Replacement Process Concord

Here's How We Handle Your Panel Replacement

First, we assess your current panel and electrical needs. We’ll tell you exactly what needs to be replaced and why, plus what size panel makes sense for your home’s current and future electrical demands.

Next, we coordinate with PG&E to safely disconnect power, then remove your old panel and install the new one. All wiring gets properly connected, labeled, and tested. We handle the permit process and schedule the required city inspection.

Once everything passes inspection, you’re back online with a modern electrical panel that can handle whatever you throw at it. The whole process typically takes one day, and we clean up completely when we’re done.

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

If your panel is over 20 years old, you’re dealing with frequent breaker trips, or you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, replacement is likely necessary. Other warning signs include a burning smell near the panel, breakers that won’t reset, flickering lights when appliances turn on, or if you’re planning to add major appliances like EV chargers. Homes built before 1990 often have undersized panels that can’t handle modern electrical demands safely.
Most residential panel replacements take 6-8 hours to complete, typically done in one day. The timeline depends on your home’s specific wiring situation and whether additional code upgrades are needed. We coordinate with PG&E for power disconnection, which usually happens the same day. After installation, the city inspection is typically scheduled within 24-48 hours. You’ll have power restored the same day we complete the work.
Most modern homes need at least a 200-amp panel to handle today’s electrical demands safely. If you have electric heating, central air conditioning, or plan to install EV charging, 200 amps is typically the minimum. Smaller homes with gas appliances might work with 150 amps, but 200-amp panels offer better capacity for future needs. We’ll calculate your actual electrical load and recommend the right size based on your current usage plus any planned additions.
Yes, we pull all required permits and coordinate inspections with the City of Concord. Electrical panel replacement requires permits in Concord, and the work must pass city inspection before it’s considered complete. We handle the entire permit process, schedule the inspection, and make sure everything meets current electrical codes. This protects you legally and ensures the work is done safely and correctly.
Panel replacement costs vary based on panel size, your home’s wiring condition, and any additional code upgrades needed. Most residential replacements range from $2,000 to $4,000 including permits and inspection. Factors that affect cost include the distance from your meter to the panel, whether your main electrical service needs upgrading, and if additional circuits need to be added. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront.
Absolutely. EV charging typically requires a 200-amp panel with available capacity for a dedicated 240-volt circuit. If your current panel is undersized or doesn’t have spare capacity, we can upgrade it to handle EV charging plus your home’s existing electrical needs. We’ll calculate your total electrical load to ensure the new panel can safely support everything. Many Concord homeowners combine panel upgrades with EV charger installation for maximum convenience and efficiency.
