Panel replacement
Review equipment condition and identification, including Federal Pacific Electric Stab-Lok or Zinsco labels. Ask about approved replacement equipment and whether the service rating needs to change.
Panel installation · Sacramento area
An EV in the driveway. A kitchen worth gathering in. A home that asks more of its electricity. Start with a panel planned around the way you live.

The foundation for more
A panel connects your home’s electrical service to the circuits you use every day. When your equipment is aging or your plans are growing, a thoughtful assessment helps establish what should change—and what can stay.
Review equipment condition and identification, including Federal Pacific Electric Stab-Lok or Zinsco labels. Ask about approved replacement equipment and whether the service rating needs to change.
A 100-to-200-amp upgrade starts with a load assessment. Increasing service capacity may involve the meter, conductors, grounding, and utility coordination; replacing a panel alone does not increase the supply.
Explore distribution options for a remodel, garage, or addition, with circuit routing and available supply considered from the start.
Planning that looks ahead
The right conversation goes beyond the number printed on the panel. These are the decisions that shape a useful proposal.
Major appliances, existing circuits, panel condition, and how the current system is arranged.
EV charging, electric cooking, heating and cooling, an addition, solar, or backup power.
Equipment location, access, outage planning, and any permit, inspection, or utility coordination required for the project.
A straightforward process
Discuss your project and assess the existing panel, service, and connected loads.
Review equipment options, related work, coordination needs, and an estimate before making a decision.
Confirm access and the expected power interruption. Complete the agreed work and explain the finished arrangement.
Not always. The answer depends on your existing service capacity, electrical demand, panel condition, and the charger you are considering. An assessment can identify whether an upgrade, a new circuit, or another load-management approach is appropriate.
No. Replacing the panel changes the distribution equipment. Increasing the electrical service may also involve other equipment and utility coordination. Your proposal should explain which work your home needs.
Panel work generally requires a planned interruption. The duration depends on the scope, site conditions, and coordination with other parties. Ask about the expected outage window before scheduling.
Equipment, circuit changes, access, the condition of the existing service, and permit or utility requirements can all affect the price. An on-site assessment allows AAA to prepare a project-specific estimate.
