Electrical Panel Upgrades
Many older Orange County homes still run a 100-amp panel that can't keep up with modern AC, an EV charger, and today's appliances. We upgrade you to a safe, modern 200-amp panel.
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's power. A lot of older Westminster and Orange County homes still run a 100-amp panel, or an old fuse box, or a brand that is known to be a fire risk. That was fine years ago. Today's homes pull a lot more power — central AC running hard through our heat waves, a pool pump, a hot tub, and now an EV charger in the garage.
When a panel is too small or too old, you see the signs. Breakers trip a lot. Lights dim when the AC kicks on. You run out of room to add a new circuit. Kilowatt Electrical replaces it with a clean, modern 200-amp panel that has room to grow.
We do it safely and to code, pull the right permits, label every breaker, and test the work before we leave. You get a clear price up front, in writing, with no surprises.

FAQ
Electrical Panel Upgrades — common questions
Do I need to upgrade from a 100-amp to a 200-amp panel?
If your breakers trip often, your lights dim when the AC starts, or you want to add an EV charger, a pool heater, or a battery backup, the answer is usually yes. Kilowatt Electrical checks your current load and tells you straight whether you really need it.
Is my old fuse box or Zinsco-style panel safe?
Old fuse boxes and certain older panel brands common in Orange County homes can be a fire risk and often can't handle modern power. Kilowatt Electrical inspects it and, if needed, replaces it with a safe, up-to-code 200-amp panel.
