Information About Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacements
Your electrical panel distributes electricity to the circuits throughout your property. A panel replacement may be recommended because of its age, condition, available capacity, or the demands being placed on the electrical system. REPS evaluates the existing equipment and what you need the system to support so you can understand why an upgrade is being recommended before making a decision.
01
Electrical Panel Replacement
Older or inadequate electrical equipment may need to be replaced to support the continued use and improvement of the property.
- Replace outdated or damaged electrical panels
- Replace old breaker boxes and electrical components
- Install new main electrical panels
- Upgrade residential and commercial electrical panels
- Replace Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Sylvania, Challenger, or Murray panels when appropriate

02
Increasing Electrical Capacity
An electrical service upgrade can provide additional capacity when the existing system cannot adequately support planned electrical loads.
- Upgrade electrical service for increased power demand
- Evaluate 100-amp to 200-amp panel upgrades
- Add capacity for modern appliances and equipment
- Prepare electrical systems for EV charger installation
- Support electrical needs associated with solar installation
- Increase capacity during remodeling or property improvements
03
Planning a Panel or Service Upgrade
Panel projects should be based on the existing system and what the property actually needs rather than assuming every older panel requires the same solution.
- Evaluate existing panel condition and capacity
- Review current and planned electrical loads
- Determine appropriate panel and service requirements
- Plan for future electrical improvements when practical
- Address permitting requirements for the electrical work
- Coordinate utility-related requirements when needed
Older Bloomington homes may have electrical systems that were designed before today's combination of air conditioning, larger appliances, EV charging, and other high-demand equipment became common. A licensed electrician can determine whether the existing panel has adequate capacity and explain the appropriate options. REPS provides upfront pricing and clear information about the proposed work so you know what to expect before an electrical panel replacement or upgrade begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
An electrical panel may need replacement because of its condition, age, available capacity, or inability to adequately support the electrical demands of the property.
Reasons to have a panel evaluated include:
- An older or outdated panel
- Damage or deterioration
- Insufficient capacity for planned electrical equipment
- Limited room for needed circuits
- A major remodel or property improvement
- Plans for EV charging, solar, or other significant electrical loads
An older panel does not automatically mean replacement is required. A licensed electrician can evaluate the equipment and your electrical needs to determine whether repair, replacement, or a larger service upgrade is appropriate.
A 100-amp to 200-amp upgrade may be appropriate when the property's electrical demand exceeds what the existing service can reasonably support, but not every home needs a 200-amp service.
The decision can depend on:
- Existing electrical loads
- Air conditioning and major appliances
- Planned EV charging
- Solar or other electrical additions
- Remodeling or future improvements
- Overall electrical service requirements
Rather than choosing an amperage based only on what is common in newer homes, the electrician should evaluate the actual application. REPS can review current and planned electrical needs and explain what capacity is appropriate.
An EV charger or solar installation does not automatically require an electrical panel upgrade, but the existing system needs to be evaluated before adding the new equipment.
An electrician may consider:
- Existing service capacity
- Current electrical demand
- Available panel space
- Requirements of the new equipment
- Other planned electrical improvements
If the existing system can accommodate the project, a larger panel or service may not be necessary. If capacity is inadequate, REPS can explain what electrical improvements would be needed to support the installation.
Certain older panel brands may warrant closer evaluation, but the appropriate recommendation depends on the specific panel, its components, condition, and electrical system.
If your home has an older Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Sylvania, Challenger, or Murray panel, a licensed electrician can inspect the equipment and determine whether replacement is appropriate.
Insurance requirements can also vary by carrier and by the specific panel and its condition. If an insurer has raised concerns about your electrical panel, provide those requirements to the electrician so they can be considered when evaluating replacement options.
An electrical panel replacement involves removing the existing equipment and installing a new panel that is appropriate for the property's electrical system and needs.
Depending on the project, the work can involve:
- Evaluating the existing electrical service
- Determining the appropriate replacement equipment
- Disconnecting and replacing the old panel
- Reconnecting existing circuits
- Completing required electrical connections
- Addressing applicable permitting, inspection, or utility requirements
The exact scope varies from property to property. REPS explains the recommended work and provides upfront pricing before the approved project begins.
The cost of an electrical panel upgrade depends on the existing system, the scope of the replacement, and whether other electrical or service changes are required.
Factors that can affect the project include:
- Existing panel and service configuration
- Size and type of replacement panel
- Requested electrical capacity
- Condition of existing equipment
- Additional electrical work required
- Permit, inspection, or utility-related requirements
A straightforward panel replacement can have a different scope than a full electrical service upgrade. REPS evaluates the property first and provides upfront pricing so you can understand the expected cost before approving the work.
