Panel Upgrades
Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded to 200 amps?
Common signs include circuit breakers tripping repeatedly, lights flickering when large appliances start up, warm spots near your breaker box, or having an older 100-amp panel that lacks capacity for new additions like Level 2 EV chargers, hot tubs, or heat pumps.
How long does a residential panel replacement take, and will my power be out?
Most residential electrical panel replacements take between 4 to 8 hours to complete. Power is typically disconnected for the duration of the installation while our licensed technicians safely wire the new panel and test all circuits.
How can I get an estimate for a panel upgrade in Pierce or King County?
You can request an estimate by calling or texting Kraft Electric directly at (253) 987-5270 or by filling out the online request form on our website.
Panel Upgrades
Your electrical panel distributes power throughout your property. Kraft Electric assesses its condition and capacity, then replaces outdated or insufficient equipment to support your electrical needs.
Adding appliances or remodeling may require an upgrade. If breakers trip repeatedly or lights flicker, we investigate the cause and explain whether repairs or a panel upgrade are appropriate.
