When the Panel Needs Replacing — Not Just More Amps

A panel upgrade is for houses that have outgrown 100-amp service. Replacement is different: the box itself is the problem. It may still be 200A and still be unsafe. Spark Doc Electric will tell you which job you actually have.

• Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, Zinsco, Pushmatic, or Challenger panel
• Insurance company will not write or renew a policy until the panel is replaced
• Burn marks, melted bus, rust, or water damage inside the can
• Breakers that will not reset, or that feel loose on the bus
• Buzzing, crackling, or a burning smell at the panel
• Old fuse box that should be a modern breaker panel
• Cover that will not sit flush, missing knockouts, or exposed bus
• Home sale, inspection, or lender flagged the equipment

Seeing sparks at the box? That is not a wait-and-see item. Read sparking panel or call the 24/7 line.

What a Spark Doc Panel Replacement Includes

• New code-compliant main breaker panel — brand-name equipment
• All existing circuits landed cleanly on the new bus
• Grounding and bonding checked to current code
• Permit pulled with the city or county — inspection scheduled
• Same-day power restoration on a typical residential swap
• 5-year warranty on the work

Replacement or Upgrade?

Keep the same amperage if the service is already sized right and the can is the failure. Step up from 100A to 200A if you are adding an EV charger, heat pump, hot tub, or a home addition. That path lives on our panel upgrade page. One visit, honest call on which job it is.

Breakers that will not hold, odd outages, or a panel that is warm to the touch often start as troubleshooting — then we replace the box if that is what the diagnosis says.
