Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, most homes can be upgraded from 100 to 200 amp service. We'll need to check your utility connection and install new wiring from the meter. The upgrade typically takes 1-2 days and requires coordination with SDG&E for the final connection.
Age is the main factor - panels from the 1970s-80s have worn breakers and corroded connections. Escondido's dry heat cycles also cause metal expansion that loosens connections over time. Overloading circuits accelerates the deterioration.
If multiple breakers are failing or the main panel is over 25 years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Individual breaker replacement works for newer panels with isolated issues. We'll test the panel's condition to recommend the best option.
Yes, SDG&E offers rebates for panels that support electric vehicle charging or solar installations. Some Escondido homeowners also qualify for federal tax credits if the upgrade enables renewable energy systems. We can help identify applicable incentives.
Keep the panel area clear of storage and check monthly for any burning smells or warm breakers. Don't ignore flickering lights or frequently tripping breakers. Have us inspect it annually, especially if your home is over 20 years old.
We start with a safety inspection and load calculation, then coordinate the utility disconnect. Installation typically takes 6-8 hours over two days. We handle all city permits and final inspections, so you don't have to deal with the paperwork.
