Upgrades When Replacing a Breaker Panel
When it’s time for a breaker panel upgrade, there are a few options to consider. Many homeowners choose to upgrade their electrical wiring at the same time as their panels. This ensures that the entire system is up to code and can handle the increased load of a new panel.
Another option is to simply replace the old panel with a new one. This can be a more economical choice if your wiring is still in good condition. However, it’s important to note that a new panel may not be compatible with your existing wiring. If you choose this option, be sure to consult with an electrician to make sure everything is safe and up to code.
Finally, you may want to consider upgrading your main service panel. This is the panel that supplies power to your entire house. Upgrading this panel will allow you to add more devices and appliances without running into capacity issues. It’s also a good idea if you plan on making any major renovations in the future, as service upgrades require more power than your old panel can handle.
Electrical Wiring and Panel Upgrade
If you’re thinking about upgrading your electrical panel, you’ll also need to upgrade your wiring. This involves installing new cables and running them from the panel to your devices and appliances. It’s a big job, but it’s well worth it in the end.
When it comes to wiring, there are two main options: copper or aluminum. Copper is the most popular choice, as it’s durable and easy to work with. Aluminum wiring is less common, but it’s a good option if you’re on a tight budget.
Once you’ve chosen your wiring type, it’s time to start planning your upgrade. The first step is to draw up a wiring diagram of your house. This will show you exactly where each cable should go. Once you have a diagram, you can start installing the new wiring.

You’ll find answers to common questions about our HVAC services. Our aim is to help you understand more about how we can assist with your heating, cooling, and air quality needs.
It would be wise to replace affected appliances or devices from previous panels as this will guarantee that everything works properly. Also damaged wires must be changed in order to make sure that all electrical components of your property are up to date and secure against any issue related to the topic.
You will need to cut off the power (which may involve more than just using traditional methods) then proceed to sever all wires and unscrew the old panel from the wall. After that, remove the old panel and mouth the new one with the help of a plywood panel that will help the panel stay level. Make all connections inside the panel and feed the circuits while connecting the bare-copper ground wires and white-insulated wires to the ground. Finally, plug all new circuit breakers and label each breaker with the correct house circuit to have a better understanding of what powers what.
Updating the electrical panel from fuses to breakers is a little bit more expensive than the previous option as you will be replacing the fuse box with the breakers. This tends to cost between $1,100 to $4,000 depending on the capacity of the property and the country of location.
Nowadays, 200 amps service panel can cost around $2,000 but there are models that can go as far as $2,500 since these are made of high-end materials. But through research and depending on the situation of your property (depending if you are updating an existing panel or installing a new one) it could cost less.
If you are thinking about the future then you might want to start upgrading the panel in order to guarantee that the property remains capable of handling modern and future appliances that might consume more electricity than the ones that you currently own. Also, it adds more value to the property and increases security.
It is recommended to upgrade electrical panel service upgrades that are too old as they need to be replaced every 25 to 40 years because there is a chance that they will not be able to handle modern appliances and technological devices. Acquiring a property that has an old electrical panel means that you should be ready to upgrade soon, especially if you are thinking of adding advanced appliances that require more electricity.
First, you need to cut the power supply, then proceed to sever the wires from the inside of the panel and unscrew the panel to remove it from the wall. Add a new 3/4″ thick plywood panel to the wall with a SE cable that will be screwed to the panel. After that, reconnect all electrical wires and ensure that house circuits are connected. Finally, insert the new circuit breakers and all that is left is labeling all breakers in order to understand what house circuit they control.
