Electrical panel upgrade in Leonia
A panel upgrade replaces the breaker box and, for a service upgrade, the meter socket and the cable from the utility connection as well. We run a load calculation, install the new panel and main breaker, bring grounding and bonding up to date, move every circuit over and label it. We arrange the utility disconnect and reconnect and the inspection.
We also get calls from Leonia for 100 amp to 200 amp upgrade, 200 amp panel upgrade and main panel upgrade. If you are not sure which one you need, describe the problem and we will tell you.

Electrical panel upgrade cost in Leonia
Electrical panel upgrade cost in Leonia depends on the service size, whether the meter and service cable are replaced, the panel's location and what the utility requires.

Electrical panel upgrade in Leonia: common questions
How long is the power off during a panel upgrade?
Usually most of one working day. Power is back on before we leave.
Do I need 200 amps?
If you plan to add a car charger, heat pump, electric range or an addition, almost certainly. The load calculation gives a definite answer.
Is a panel replacement the same as a service upgrade?
No. A replacement keeps the same amperage and swaps the box. A service upgrade also increases the capacity coming from the utility.
Do you cover all of Leonia?
Yes. We work throughout Leonia and Bergen County, including ZIP code 07605.
