Upgrade, Not Just a Repair

SIGNS YOUR PANEL
IS OUT OF ROOM.

Most older panels didn't fail. The house around them changed: refrigerated AC, a pool, electric appliances, an EV.

🌡️

BREAKERS TRIP IN SUMMER

Fine in March, tripping by July. Long AC run times on a hot garage wall push an undersized panel past its limit.

🔌

WARM OR BUZZING PANEL

A panel should be silent and cool. Heat, buzzing, or scorch marks mean a failing breaker or a loose connection under load.

🧩

NO OPEN SLOTS

Circuits squeezed in, breakers doubled up. When there's no room left, every new load is a compromise.

🚗

ADDING AN EV CHARGER OR AC

A Level 2 charger, a new AC, a pool pump, or a heat pump each adds steady load for hours. Check capacity before you buy the equipment.

🏚️

FUSE BOX OR OUTDATED PANEL

Older equipment wasn't built for today's number of circuits, and parts can be hard to find. Age alone isn't the reason. It's a reason to look.

🔥

BURNING SMELL

A fishy or burning-plastic smell near the panel is overheating. Shut the main off if it's safe to reach and call now.

Straight Answer

WHEN YOU DON'T
NEED A NEW PANEL.

A new panel is a big job and not always the right one. We'll tell you to hold off when:

1

ONE CIRCUIT TRIPS

A breaker that trips only when the microwave and toaster run together is an overloaded circuit. Moving a load or adding a circuit fixes it.

2

AN APPLIANCE IS THE CAUSE

A failing AC motor, pool pump, or space heater can trip a healthy breaker. Fix the appliance, keep the panel.

3

YOU JUST NEED A CIRCUIT

With open slots and room in your service, a dedicated circuit for a window unit, shop tool, or hot tub may be all you need.

4

YOU WANT SURGE PROTECTION

Whole-house surge protection is added to an existing panel in good condition. No replacement required.

What Happens

FOUR STEPS.
NO SURPRISES.

From the first look at your panel to city sign-off, you know what's happening and what it costs before any work begins.

1

LOAD CALCULATION

We add up what your home draws, including long summer AC cycles, and compare it to what your service can safely carry. If you have room, we'll tell you an upgrade isn't justified.

2

UPFRONT ESTIMATE

Panel size, service size, and what's included, priced before we touch a wire. You approve everything first.

3

PERMIT AND INSTALL

We pull the permit. The power-off part of the job usually takes part of a day. Plan where family and pets will be, and keep the fridge closed.

4

INSPECT AND RESTORE

City inspection passed, circuits clearly labeled, power restored. A panel sized for how your home really runs, with room for what you've planned.

"We've hired SDG Electric three times—outlet upgrades, a full breaker box replacement with outbuilding power, and new fans with recessed lighting. Every time, communication is great, the work is done right, and they don't leave until it's perfect. Highly recommend!"

"SDG Electric was willing to work with me and kept me updated from estimate through installation. They were willing to check into questions I had after get information, rather than guessing and giving misinformation. Thank you for your professionalism."

Panel Answers

COMMON
QUESTIONS

Do I need a full panel replacement?
Not always. If your panel is properly sized, has open slots, and shows no heat, we'll point you to a repair or a new circuit instead. The load calculation decides it, not the hardware.
Can my 100-amp panel handle an EV charger?
Sometimes. If there's open breaker space and the math works out, yes. If your AC, pool pump, and other big loads already use most of that capacity, adding more can push the panel past what it can safely handle. Many chargers can also be set to draw less and still charge overnight.
How long will the power be off?
Usually part of a day, depending on the panel, the wiring, and whether the service size is changing. In summer, ask about an early start, and tell us about any medical equipment that needs power.
Is the permit included?
Yes. We pull the permit, and the job isn't done until the city inspection passes and your circuits are labeled.
What does the estimate cost?
Nothing. We look at your panel, run the load calculation, and give you a price before any work begins.
