Improved Safety – Modern panels are built with advanced protection against overloads and fire hazards.
Greater Capacity – Prevent tripped breakers and support high-demand appliances like HVAC systems and EV chargers.
Better Efficiency – Electricity flows more evenly, which can help reduce wasted energy and lower monthly bills.
Stronger Home Value – A code-compliant electrical system adds appeal and reassurance for future buyers.
Ready for Tomorrow – Today’s panels are designed to handle the growing electrical demands of modern technology.

Should I Repair Or Replace My Panel?

It’s not always easy to know whether a simple repair will solve the issue or if a full upgrade is needed. Our team can guide you through the decision, but here are a few signs to consider before scheduling service with an electrician:

Electrical Panel Repair

Some issues can be solved with a repair rather than a full replacement. Our electricians can inspect your system and restore safety with services like breaker box repairs, circuit breaker replacements, and wiring fixes.

Repairs may be enough if you notice:

  • Breakers that won’t stay reset
  • Minor panel damage
  • Flickering lights
  • Power that works intermittently

If the damage is more extensive or your panel can’t keep up with demand, a replacement may be the better option.

Electrical Panel Replacement

If your electrical issues go beyond simple repairs, it may be time for an electrical panel replacement. Older systems often struggle to keep up with today’s power demands, and a replacement electrical panel ensures your home stays safe and energy-efficient. Whether you need to replace electrical panel equipment due to an outdated breaker box fuse or you’re adding modern appliances that require more power, our licensed electricians provide seamless electric panel replacement services.

Upgrading your electrical panel is a smart move to dodge safety hazards like overloaded circuits and faulty breakers. Curious about costs? At Carini Home Services, we provide clear pricing with no surprises. Whether it’s replacing a breaker box or upgrading your entire system, we ensure your home is ready for modern technology demands. Consider an upgrade today for peace of mind and enhanced safety!

  • Multiple circuits tripping
  • Burning smells or buzzing near the panel
  • Dim lights throughout the home
  • Insufficient power for modern devices
  • Planning to install an EV charger
  • Adding solar panels or new electric appliances

Expand Your Home’s Power with a Subpanel

Sometimes a full panel replacement isn’t necessary. A subpanel extends your home’s electrical capacity, providing dedicated circuits for high-demand areas. This option helps prevent overloaded circuits while keeping your system organized.

Common uses include:

  • EV charger installations
  • ADUs or granny flats
  • Detached garages or workshops

If your main panel is in good shape but running out of space, adding a subpanel is often the most practical solution.

Expert Installation and Repair for Your Electrical Panel

Upgrading your electrical panel is a major investment that delivers long-term benefits, from reliable power for appliances to improved energy efficiency. Just as important as the upgrade itself is choosing a trusted electrician who can complete the job safely and professionally.

Carini Home Services is committed to quality, safety, and clear communication on every project. Our licensed electricians handle the entire process from inspection and permitting to installation, ensuring a smooth transition to a safer, more efficient system.

When you choose Carini Home Services, you’re choosing more than a service provider. You’re partnering with a team that values your home’s safety and your peace of mind. Contact us today to schedule your electrical panel upgrade and power your home with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to upgrade an electrical panel in San Diego?

The cost typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,500 depending on factors like panel size (100 amp vs. 200 amp), home age, existing wiring, and permit fees. Larger projects involving rewiring or subpanels can exceed $8,500.

Do I need a permit for an electrical panel upgrade in San Diego?

Yes, San Diego requires permits and inspections for electrical panel upgrades to ensure code compliance and safety. Carini Home Services handles the entire permitting process for you.

How do I know if I need an electrical panel upgrade or just a repair?

If you experience frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or burning smells, you might need an upgrade. Minor issues like loose connections or worn breakers may only require a repair. Our electricians assess your system and recommend the best solution.

What is a 200 amp panel, and do I need one?

A 200 amp panel provides more capacity to handle modern appliances like EV chargers, HVAC systems, or solar panels. If you’re adding major appliances or expanding your home, upgrading to 200 amps ensures safe, reliable power.

Can a subpanel be installed instead of replacing my main panel?

Yes, installing a subpanel can be a great solution when your main panel has no room for new circuits but is otherwise in good condition. Subpanels are ideal for garages, home additions, EV chargers, or spas.

How long does an electrical panel upgrade take?

The physical installation typically takes 1 day, but permits and inspections can extend the total timeline to a few days or weeks, depending on local scheduling. We coordinate everything for a seamless process.
