Upgrading your electrical panel is an essential first step, regardless of whether you're having frequent power surges, flickering lights, or arranging a remodel that calls for more electrical capability. However, many homeowners hesitate due to concerns about the time it takes.
In this blog post, our professionals from Mr. Electric will delve into the process and explore how long an electrical panel upgrade typically takes, involving the expertise of an electrician and electrical repair service.
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
An experienced electrician will thoroughly inspect your existing electrical panel and the electrical requirements of your property before any repair is done. Determining the extent of the upgrade and any potential issues requires doing this first step. The design process is influenced by various factors, including your home's size, the wiring that is already in place, and the power needs of your equipment. Depending on the project's complexity, this assessment and planning stage usually takes a few hours to a day.
Most jurisdictions require permissions from the local building authority in order to upgrade an electrical panel. By following this procedure, the work is guaranteed to adhere to building codes and safety laws. Even though getting permissions might not directly affect the electrician, it's an important step that extends the timetable. This process may take a few days to a few weeks, depending on the demand and how well the permission office operates.
The electrician must get ready for the update after the assessment is finished and permits are secured. This involves purchasing the supplies needed, including the new electrical panel, wiring, circuit breakers, and any other parts needed for the installation. The amount of time needed for preparation can change depending on things like material availability and supplier schedule. This stage usually takes a few days to a week.

The most important part of the upgrade procedure is installing the new electrical panel. This stage can take a whole day or many days to finish, depending on the intricacy of the upgrade and any unanticipated issues. The electrician will make sure everything is working properly and in compliance with code by carefully unplugging the old panel, installing the new panel, and rewiring the circuits. Safety is the top priority during this process, and the electrician will take all reasonable steps to avoid mishaps or electrical system damage to your house.
The local building authority will need to inspect the electrical work after it is installed. This inspection guarantees that all safety and code criteria are met by the update. Inspections usually take place a few days after the installation is finished, though the exact date can change based on schedule and inspector availability. Following a successful inspection, the electrician will carry out extensive testing to guarantee that the new panel is operating correctly and that every circuit is operating as planned.
The electrician will finish the installation by marking circuits, fastening wiring, and making sure everything is neat and orderly after the inspection and testing are over. During this finalization step, any minor tweaks or adjustments that are required to maximize the electrical panel's performance may also be addressed. After everything is set up, the electrician will tidy up the workspace, getting rid of any materials or debris from the installation.
