Older homes were wired for a different era. If your panel is a 60- or 100-amp box, uses fuses, or is packed with double-tapped breakers, it may not safely support today's electrical loads. An electrical panel upgrade from System Wide Services gives your home the capacity, safety, and reliability it needs for EV charging, modern appliances, and future additions.
A panel upgrade is a serious job that involves permits, inspection, and coordination with your utility to disconnect and reconnect power, and our electrical technicians manage those steps for you.

FAQ
Electrical Panel Upgrade questions
Answers to what homeowners ask most. Still unsure? Call (562) 269-4747, we're happy to help.
How do I know if I need a 200-amp panel?
If you are adding an EV charger, expanding your kitchen, running out of breaker space, or living with an older 60- or 100-amp service, a 200-amp upgrade is often the right move. We calculate your actual and future load, then recommend the correct size rather than overselling capacity you will not use.
Do panel upgrades require a permit?
Yes. A service panel upgrade requires a permit and a municipal inspection in Long Beach and other LA and Orange County cities, plus coordination with your utility to disconnect and reconnect power. Our electrical technicians handle the permitting and utility scheduling as part of the job.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential panel upgrades are completed in one day, though power may be off for several hours while the utility disconnects and reconnects service. Permitting and the inspection can add time to the overall timeline. We give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you informed throughout.
Will my power be off during the upgrade?
Yes, for part of the day. The utility must cut power so we can safely swap the panel, then restore it once the new panel is installed. We plan the outage window with you in advance so you can prepare, and we work efficiently to minimize the downtime.
Are rebates or incentives available for a panel upgrade?
Sometimes. Because panel upgrades often support EV charging and electrification, certain utility or program incentives may be available. Availability and terms change over time, so we recommend confirming current programs with your utility. We are happy to provide the documentation those programs typically require.
Can you upgrade the panel and add an EV charger together?
Absolutely, and it is often the most cost-effective approach. Combining a panel upgrade with EV charger installation means one permit process and one visit for the heavy electrical work. We size the new panel to comfortably handle the charger plus your existing loads and any future plans.
What happens if my panel brand was recalled?
A few older panel brands are known to fail in ways that can be dangerous. If yours is one of them, we will explain the specific risk clearly and honestly. Upgrading to a modern panel resolves the concern and gives you safe, reliable capacity for years to come.
