Electrical Panel Upgrades in the Brazos Valley
Your electrical panel is the one thing every circuit in your home runs through — and an older or undersized one quietly limits what you can add. Whether you're planning solar, a battery, an EV charger, or just tired of tripping breakers, a master electrician sizes and installs the panel that becomes the backbone of it all.

What an Electrical Panel Upgrade Involves
Every appliance, light, and outlet in your home traces back to one piece of equipment: the main electrical panel. It distributes power, protects each circuit, and sets the ceiling on how much electricity your home can safely handle at once.
Modern additions — solar back-feed, battery systems, EV chargers, heat pumps — all draw on that capacity, and code dictates exactly how much a given busbar can carry. We evaluate what your panel can actually support and upgrade it to a clean, properly sized foundation for whatever you add next.
Service Upgrade (100A → 200A)
Increasing your service capacity — typically to 200 amps — so your home can handle modern loads and future solar or battery additions.
Panel Replacement
Swapping out fuse boxes and unsafe brands like Federal Pacific or Zinsco for a new, code-compliant panel with room to grow.
Subpanels & Critical Loads
Adding subpanels for shops, additions, or a dedicated critical-load panel that pairs cleanly with battery backup.
Solar-Ready Busbar Sizing
Sizing the busbar and main breaker to satisfy the code's solar back-feed rules — so adding panels later doesn't mean a second upgrade.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
A panel-mounted surge protective device that shields your electronics and appliances from utility spikes and lightning.
Permits & Inspection
Building permits, the utility disconnect/reconnect coordination, and the electrical inspection — handled for you.

How a Panel Upgrade Works
Panel Evaluation
we inspect your existing panel, service capacity, grounding, and load — and tells you honestly whether it needs replacing or just has room to add what you're planning.
Load Calculation
A proper code load calculation determines the service size your home actually needs — factoring in solar, battery, EV charging, or HVAC you plan to add.
Utility & Permit Coordination
We pull the electrical permit and arrange the utility disconnect and reconnect, so the power-down window is short and scheduled.
Panel Installation
A master electrician installs the new panel, re-lands and labels every circuit, upgrades the grounding, and adds surge protection — on-site, to current code.
Inspection & Reconnect
We schedule and pass the electrical inspection, then coordinate the utility reconnect so your power is back on the same day where possible.
Documentation
You get a clearly labeled panel directory and documentation of the upgrade — useful for insurance, resale, and any future solar or battery work.
Get up to 30% cash back on an EG4 battery system.
Qualified Texas homeowners get the rebate directly — no tax filing required.

Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQ
Common questions about the project. Don't see yours here?
Talk to the master electrician who does the work — not a call center.
A 200-amp service upgrade typically runs $2,500–$4,500 depending on the panel, the run to the meter, and whether the utility service entrance needs work. we'll give you a fixed quote after evaluating your setup.
Sometimes. The code limits how much solar can back-feed a given busbar (the 120% rule). If your panel is small or already full, an upgrade is the cleanest path — we confirm during the assessment whether yours has room.
Most residential upgrades are a one-day job. Your power is off for part of the day while the panel is swapped and the utility reconnects — we schedule the window so it's as short as possible.
These brands have a documented history of breakers that fail to trip, which is a real fire risk. Many insurers now flag them. Replacing one is one of the most worthwhile electrical upgrades you can make.
A Level 2 EV charger draws a lot of continuous power. If your panel is 100 amps or already loaded, you may need an upgrade or load management to add one safely. we run the load calculation to be sure.
