Upgrading from 100-amp to 200-amp service usually costs between $1,600 and $2,500. The electrical panel replacement cost varies based on your home's current electrical setup, the distance from the meter to the panel, and whether additional circuits need to be installed. 

According to HomeGuide, the national average for panel upgrades falls within this range. The panel can cost more if you need to replace your electrical panel in a difficult location or if relocating an electrical panel becomes necessary. Duncan homeowners should budget for permit fees required by the Spartanburg County Building Codes Department. Investing in an upgraded electrical panel increases your home's safety and capacity to handle modern electrical demands while protecting your investment.

Yes, most electrical work in Duncan requires a permit from Spartanburg County. Permits are mandatory for breaker panel replacement, new circuits, service changes, and major electrical installations, including installing an electrical panel.

According to Spartanburg County Building Codes, residential projects often require separate electrical permits in addition to building permits. Homeowners doing their own work must still obtain permits and pass inspections. Licensed electricians handle permit applications as part of their service, ensuring all work meets South Carolina electrical code requirements. Permit inspections verify that installations are safe and compliant. Skipping permits creates liability issues and problems when selling your home. Always confirm permit requirements before starting electrical projects to ensure your home meets all local standards.

Frequent circuit breaker trips indicate your panel cannot handle your electrical load. Your panel may need upgrading if you notice lights dimming when appliances start, outlets that feel warm to the touch, or a burning smell near your breaker box.

These signs of electrical issues require immediate attention. Homes with fuse boxes or panels over 25 years old should be evaluated for replacement. The Electrical Safety Foundation International reports that older electrical panels in homes built before 1990 often lack the capacity to meet modern electrical demands. A panel that doesn't provide adequate electrical power for your needs poses safety risks. Duncan homeowners planning to add central air conditioning, electric vehicle chargers, or major appliances should first assess their panel capacity. Rust, corrosion, or physical damage to your circuit breaker panel also requires immediate attention. Schedule an electrical safety inspection to determine if you need to replace your electrical panel to meet your home's current and future needs.

Most EV charger installations take four to eight hours to complete. The timeline depends on your home's existing electrical capacity and the distance from your panel to the charging location. Homes with adequate electrical service and a nearby panel location typically fall on the shorter end of this range. If your electrical panel isn't adequate to support the charger, the project may extend to a full day or require a second visit for panel upgrades.

According to Duke Energy, Level 2 home chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, similar to the one that powers your electric dryer. Our electricians assess your electrical system during the initial consultation and provide an accurate timeline. The electrical panel in your home determines whether additional upgrades are needed. Proper installation ensures safe, efficient charging for years to come. Duncan homeowners should schedule installation before taking delivery of their electric vehicle to avoid charging delays.

Yes, we specialize in electrical services for older homes throughout Duncan. Many properties in Reidville, East Duncan, and established neighborhoods were built between the 1950s and 1980s with electrical systems that need updating. Older homes often have outdated wiring types like knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, insufficient grounding, two-prong outlets, and undersized panels.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission identifies aluminum wiring installed in homes built between 1965 and 1973 as a potential fire hazard that requires professional evaluation. Older electrical systems pose electrical hazards that modern panel technology addresses. We conduct thorough electrical safety inspections to identify hazards and recommend appropriate upgrades. Our experience with aging electrical systems ensures we address both safety concerns and capacity needs.

Commercial properties have different electrical demands than residential homes, requiring expertise in three-phase power, higher-voltage systems, and compliance with commercial code requirements.

Warning signs of unsafe wiring include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, discolored or warm outlets, burning smells, buzzing sounds from outlets or switches, and visible sparks when plugging in devices. These signs of electrical issues indicate your system needs professional attention. Homes built before 1970 may have outdated wiring that does not meet current safety standards.

The Electrical Safety Foundation International recommends electrical safety inspections for homes over 40 years old or for pre-owned homes. During an inspection, our electricians examine your wiring type, check for proper grounding, test GFCI and AFCI protection, inspect your electrical panel for damage or wear, and verify all electrical components meet code. A malfunctioning electrical panel or faulty electrical wiring creates serious electrical hazards.
