Signs Your Electrical Panel Needs Attention

Frequent breaker trips, burning odors, or buzzing and crackling near the panel require prompt evaluation by a licensed electrical contractor. Don’t remove the panel cover or attempt to tighten internal connections yourself.

We recommend scheduling an electrical inspection every three to five years. An earlier inspection may be appropriate for an older home, repeated breaker problems, planned renovations, or equipment that will place new demands on the electrical system.

The assessment can point to one of several service paths:

• Electrical panel inspection: We evaluate panel condition, circuit breakers, current electrical demand, and signs of damage or deterioration.
• Electrical panel repair: A repair addresses a defective component when the panel’s overall condition and capacity remain suitable.
• Electrical panel replacement: Replacement may be appropriate when condition or compatibility concerns affect the existing equipment.
• Electrical panel upgrade: An upgrade increases or reconfigures capacity when the current system can’t support existing demand or planned additions.

Renovations, additional appliances, EV charging equipment, generators, and new circuits can increase a home’s electrical load. We also upgrade panels during electrical rewiring projects when the existing equipment can’t support the updated load.

Planning Electrical Panel Capacity in Florence

A panel’s amp rating describes the capacity available to serve the home. Residential systems may be rated at 100, 150, 200, or 400 amps, but no single rating is appropriate for every property. Choosing the right capacity requires an electrical load calculation, not just the home’s size or the number printed on the existing panel.

The calculation accounts for current equipment, existing circuits, planned work, and expected additions. It determines whether the system can accommodate a renovation, EV home charger installation, whole-home generator, or other high-demand equipment.

We can evaluate panel capacity alongside related projects, including EV home chargers, generators, whole-house surge protection, and broader residential electrical upgrades. Each has distinct circuit and load requirements that belong in the overall plan.

A service change, including a change from 100-amp to 200-amp service, requires an electrical permit in South Carolina. We handle the permit process for our customers so the required approvals are part of the project scope.

Our Electrical Panel Installation Process

Panel work begins with an on-site assessment. We inspect the existing equipment, discuss current concerns and planned additions, and identify the load and circuit requirements. From there, we determine whether the project calls for repair, replacement, a capacity upgrade, or related wiring.

A permitted panel project generally follows these stages:

• Assessment: We evaluate panel condition, electrical demand, available capacity, and connected equipment.
• Scope definition: We identify the panel work, circuit changes, and related wiring included in the project.
• Permitting: We manage the applicable electrical permit process on the customer’s behalf.
• Installation and testing: We complete the approved work and test the installed equipment.
• Final inspection: The permitted work is reviewed for compliance with applicable electrical requirements.

Within Florence city limits, the City of Florence Building Department issues electrical permits. South Carolina adopted the 2020 National Electrical Code effective January 1, 2023. The National Electrical Code sets requirements for safe electrical design and installation, while the applicable permitting authority oversees inspection.

We offer 24/7 emergency response when panel conditions need immediate attention. Same-day consultations are available when possible, depending on the problem and the work required.

Electrical Panel Estimates & Financing

An accurate estimate requires an on-site electrical assessment. Pricing depends on panel condition, electrical load, circuit needs, permit requirements, and related rewiring. Once we establish the scope, we provide upfront, flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees.

A standard residential panel upgrade commonly involves about four to eight hours of hands-on work, but that range doesn’t represent the full project timeline. Permit processing, inspection scheduling, equipment needs, utility coordination when applicable, and related work can affect the time from assessment through completion.

For qualifying projects, financing is available through Wells Fargo and GreenSky. We can explain the available options when discussing a proposed electrical panel replacement or upgrade.
