Your electrical panel is the control center for all your home’s power—and when it’s outdated or overloaded, it can cause serious safety issues and limit how efficiently your home operates.
At Point Loma Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Air, we specialize in electrical panel upgrades and repairs in the San Diego area. Since 1988, our licensed electricians have helped local homeowners keep their electrical systems safe, reliable, and ready for the demands of modern living.
Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?
Your home’s electrical panel (also called a breaker box or service panel) distributes power to every circuit in the house. Over time, your electrical needs can grow—new appliances, smart devices, and EV chargers can easily exceed the capacity of older systems.
A panel upgrade can:
-
Prevent electrical hazards like fires or melted wiring from overloaded circuits
-
Increase your home’s electrical capacity, making it safer to run multiple high-demand appliances
-
Support modern technology—from air conditioning systems to electric vehicle chargers
-
Improve energy efficiency and reduce strain on your wiring and breakers
-
Add long-term value to your home
We typically upgrade homeowners to 200-amp panels or higher, depending on your home’s specific power needs. Every installation is backed by our workmanship guarantee, so you can feel confident your home’s electrical system will be safe and reliable for years to come.
Signs You May Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
Not sure if your panel needs service? Look for these warning signs:
-
Frequent tripped breakers or flickering lights
-
Crackling or buzzing sounds from the panel
-
Rust, scorch marks, or a burning smell
-
Outlets that feel warm to the touch
-
Use of multiple extension cords or power strips
-
Plans to install new appliances, HVAC systems, or an EV charger
And if your home still has a fuse box, an older 100-amp panel, or a panel brand like Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Challenger, it’s definitely time for an electric panel upgrade.
