Frequently Asked Questions About Panel Upgrades

How much do panel upgrades cost?

The final price depends on factors like your current setup, why you're upgrading, and whether you're looking to tackle other jobs—like adding new wiring or an EV charger—at the same time. Use our free Panel Upgrade Cost Calculator to get a rough estimate.

What are the benefits of a panel upgrade?

Upgrading your home's electrical panel allows you to use modern appliances without overloading your home's capacity, which can cause power outages and damage to devices or fixtures. In rare cases, this can even be a fire risk, so panel upgrades are as much about safety as they are about convenience. Learn more about whether your home needs a 200-amp electrical panel.

Why is my insurance provider forcing me to upgrade?

This is common, and they aren't just trying to force you into an unnecessary expense. Panels that are over 25 years old and/or were made by Zinszo/FPE aren't safe, and may even start a fire. You can learn more about this issue in our insurance risk guide.

Does Caccia Home Services offer financing for panel upgrades?

Yes! We offer several convenient financing options through GreenSky to help you meet your needs. Learn more about financing the home services you need.
