Panel Upgrades & Service Upgrades
Many Bay Area homes were built decades ago with electrical systems designed for far fewer electrical demands. If you're experiencing frequent breaker trips, planning a major renovation, adding solar panels, or installing an EV charger, you likely need a panel upgrade.
| Project | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| 100A → 200A panel upgrade | $2,500–$5,000 |
| Main service / meter relocation | Add'l — free estimate |
| Sub-panel addition | Free estimate |
Pricing varies by amperage, meter/main work, and access. We provide a free, fixed-price estimate before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost, and how long does it take?
A residential electrical panel upgrade in the Bay Area typically costs $2,500 to $5,000, depending on the new amperage (100A to 200A+) and whether the meter or main service needs relocating. The physical install is usually a one-day job, but including the city electrical permit and PG&E disconnect/reconnect scheduling and final inspection, the full process generally takes 2 to 3 weeks. We pull the permit, coordinate the PG&E shutoff, and meet the inspector. Call (650) 451-8464 for a free fixed-price estimate.
What are the signs my home needs a panel upgrade?
Common signs include a fuse box or 100A (or smaller) service, breakers that trip often, flickering or dimming lights, no open slots for new circuits, a warm panel or scorch marks, a burning smell or buzzing near the panel, and plans to add an EV charger, solar, heat pump, or hot tub. Any of these is worth a free inspection. We perform a load calculation and tell you honestly whether an upgrade is needed.
When does an older home need rewiring, and how much does it cost?
Older Bay Area homes often need rewiring when they still have knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring, cloth-insulated conductors, ungrounded two-prong outlets, or frequent circuit problems. Whole-house rewiring generally ranges from $8,000 to $20,000+, depending on home size, number of circuits, and accessibility. We provide a detailed, room-by-room estimate so you know exactly what's included before any work begins.
Do you install EV chargers, including Tesla Wall Connectors?
Yes. As a Tesla Certified Installer we install all Level 2 home chargers — Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, and more. A typical Level 2 install runs about $800 to $2,200 when your panel has spare capacity; if a panel upgrade or long conduit run is needed, cost increases accordingly. We assess your panel first and quote a single upfront price covering the charger circuit, permit, and inspection.
Do you handle electrical repairs and troubleshooting?
Yes. We diagnose and repair the full range of electrical problems — dead outlets, tripping breakers, flickering lights, faulty switches, failing GFCI/AFCI devices, aluminum-wiring hazards, and code violations. Our licensed electricians track the issue to its source rather than guessing, then fix it correctly and to code. Call (650) 451-8464 to schedule a service visit.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency electrical service?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency electrical service for urgent safety situations such as burning smells from a panel or outlet, sparking outlets or switches, exposed or damaged wiring, water damage to electrical systems, or a sudden non-utility power loss. Based in Los Gatos, we respond quickly across the Bay Area. For an electrical emergency, call (650) 451-8464 right away.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Pacific Edge Electric and Solar holds California C-10 Electrical Contractor License #1143455 and is fully bonded and insured, including workers' compensation. We're also a Tesla Certified Installer and Enphase Installer, with more than 1,000 Bay Area projects completed since 2014. All work meets the National Electrical Code and local building requirements.
Do you install backup generators and battery backup systems?
Yes. We install standby and backup power systems, including automatic transfer switches and battery backup (Tesla Powerwall, FranklinWH, Enphase IQ Battery) so your home keeps power during PG&E outages. We size the system to the circuits you want to protect, handle the permit and inspection, and coordinate the install with any panel upgrade or solar work.
Do you do commercial electrical work and tenant improvements?
Yes. We handle commercial electrical projects including service and panel upgrades, tenant improvements and office build-outs, LED retrofits, parking-lot and exterior lighting, code-required emergency and exit lighting, data and communications wiring, and 208V/240V/480V equipment hookups. We work around your business hours to minimize downtime and pull all required permits.
Do you provide upfront, fixed pricing?
Yes. We provide upfront, fixed-price estimates — you approve the total before we start, with no hidden fees or surprise hourly charges. Estimates are free. Call (650) 451-8464 or request a quote online and we'll schedule a visit, perform a load assessment if needed, and give you a clear price for your project.
