Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Panel Upgrades

Common signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, a panel that’s warm to the touch, a fuse box instead of a breaker panel, or circuits that can’t support your appliances. If your home is more than 25–30 years old and hasn’t had a panel update, it’s worth having one of our electricians take a look.

Most modern homes require a 200-amp panel to handle today’s electrical loads. However, if you have a larger home, an EV charger, a hot tub, or plan to add square footage, you may need additional capacity. Bronco Electric performs a full load calculation before recommending a solution, so you’re never over- or under-powered.

Yes. Bronco Electric handles permit acquisition and coordinates all required inspections for every panel upgrade. As a licensed, union contractor, we follow every step of the process, so you have full documentation and peace of mind that the work is fully code-compliant.

Absolutely. EV charger installation often requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and, in some cases, a panel upgrade to support the additional load. Our team handles both — we’ll assess your current system, recommend the right upgrades, and install everything to code so your charger is ready to go.

Yes, and we recommend it. A panel upgrade is an ideal time to integrate whole-home surge protection, which shields your appliances and electronics from voltage spikes. Our team can install surge protection as part of your upgrade, giving you comprehensive protection from the panel out.
