Electrical Panel Upgrade & Replacement in Los Angeles
Your electrical panel is the “heart” of your home’s power.
If it’s old, overloaded, or not up to code, it can’t safely handle modern life: EV chargers, AC, solar, hot tubs, and all the gadgets we plug in every day.
At Electric Universe CA, we specialize in clean, safe panel upgrades for homes and small businesses across Los Angeles.
Do I really need a panel upgrade?
You might need a new panel if:
-
Your home is 20+ years old and still has the original panel
-
Breakers trip often or feel hot to the touch
-
You see rust, corrosion, or burning marks inside the panel
-
Lights flicker when major appliances turn on
-
You’re adding an EV charger, AC, spa, or solar
-
Your panel is a brand that insurance companies don’t like (Zinsco, Federal Pacific, etc.)
If you’re not sure, we can come out for a complimentary panel inspection and tell you exactly where you stand.
Future-proof: EV- and Solar-Ready Panels
Many of our customers are planning ahead:
-
EV charger now, solar later
-
Solar now, more appliances later
We design your new panel so it’s ready for future loads, not just today’s. That way you don’t pay twice for upgrades down the road.
What happens during a panel upgrade?
We handle the whole process for you:
-
Free visit & load check
We inspect your existing panel, grounding, and main service, and talk about your future plans (EV, ADU, solar, etc.). -
Permit & utility coordination
We pull the city permit and coordinate with the power company so everything is safe and legal. -
Panel change-out
We replace the old panel, label all circuits clearly, and bring grounding and bonding up to current code. -
Power restoration
Our goal is to minimize your downtime and leave the site clean when we’re done. -
City inspection
An inspector signs off on the work so you know your system is safe and compliant.
Most panel upgrades are completed within about one to two days, depending on the size and existing conditions.
