Panel upgrades follow a clear sequence. Here's what to expect when you work with King Electric and Solar.
We start by evaluating your existing panel, service entrance, and overall electrical load. This tells us exactly what size and type of panel your home actually needs.
Panel upgrades require permits in Auburn and most Placer County jurisdictions. We handle the permit application and coordinate any required utility shutoff scheduling on your behalf.
Our electricians remove the old panel, install the new service equipment, and reconnect all circuits cleanly and to code. Work is done with minimal disruption to your day.
After installation, the work is inspected by the local authority. We're on-site for inspections and handle any follow-up items so you get a clean sign-off.
Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.
Q1
Common signs include frequently tripping breakers, a panel rated at 60 or 100 amps, a fuse box instead of breakers, or plans to add a major load like an EV charger or solar system. An on-site assessment gives you a definitive answer.
Q2
Most modern homes are served well by a 200-amp panel. If you're adding solar, an EV charger, or a large addition, we'll assess whether a larger service entrance or a sub-panel makes more sense for your situation.
Q3
Yes. Electrical panel upgrades require a permit through the local building department. King Electric and Solar handles permit applications as part of the project so you don't have to manage that process yourself.
Q4
Power to your home will be off during the panel swap itself, typically for several hours. We schedule around your availability and work efficiently to keep that window as short as possible.
Q5
Yes, and it's often a smart sequence. If your current panel doesn't have capacity for a solar interconnect, upgrading first makes the solar installation cleaner and avoids workarounds later.
Q6
We serve Auburn and a wide area around it, including Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Lincoln, Grass Valley, Nevada City, and El Dorado Hills. Call us to confirm coverage for your address.
Q7
Not exactly. A repair addresses a specific issue like a failed breaker or damaged wiring inside the existing panel. An upgrade replaces the panel entirely with a higher-capacity unit. We can help you figure out which one your situation actually calls for.
Q8
Most panel upgrades are completed in one day. More complex projects involving service entrance work or sub-panel additions may take a second day. We'll give you a clear timeline before work begins.
