Utility Rebates

Some upgrades may qualify for incentives, especially when paired with EV chargers or electrification equipment. We can help homeowners connect with current Xcel Energy and Colorado rebate opportunities for qualifying upgrades.

Englewood offers an electric service upgrade add-on rebate of up to $2,000 when paired with another eligible Climate Action Rebate. The city also offers Energy Efficient Englewood grants of up to $8,000 per household for low- and moderate-income homeowners, covering energy efficiency upgrades identified through an energy audit, with a 20% homeowner match required. Eligibility, funding availability, and current program terms apply.

Signs a panel upgrade may be needed:

  • Frequent breaker trips or flickering lights
  • Warm, buzzing, or damaged breakers
  • Burning or “hot” electrical odors
  • Not enough breaker spaces for new circuits
  • Panels 20 to 30+ years old
  • Federal Pacific (FPE) or Zinsco panels
  • Rust, corrosion, or visible deterioration

If you see sparks, melting, or smell burning, shut off the main disconnect and call immediately.

These signs don’t automatically mean a full replacement is needed. Don’t remove a panel cover or handle energized components to investigate the issue. Our electricians can determine whether the problem calls for a repair, breaker-panel replacement, or service upgrade.

Do I Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade before Remodeling My Home?

Many remodeling projects increase electrical demand. Depending on your home’s existing capacity, a panel upgrade may be needed to safely support:

A project doesn’t automatically require a larger panel or service upgrade. We assess the available breaker spaces, service capacity, calculated electrical load, and equipment requirements to determine whether you need a new circuit, load-management solution, panel replacement, or broader upgrade.

Electrical Panel Repair, Replacement & Service Upgrades

We diagnose first and recommend the work that fits your electrical system and planned additions. A repair can address an isolated breaker, connection, or component when the existing electrical service panel remains suitable for the home.

Breaker panel replacement changes the panel or load center, while the incoming electrical service capacity may remain unchanged. A service upgrade can involve work beyond the panel when a load calculation shows the home doesn’t have sufficient capacity for proposed equipment such as an EV charger installation, heat pump, or electric water heater.

How Does a New Electrical Panel Improve Home Safety?

A modern electrical panel reduces the risk of overloads and electrical fires by:

  • Providing proper circuit protection
  • Eliminating outdated fuse boxes
  • Supporting ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) breakers
  • Ensuring compliance with current safety standards

A panel upgrade can provide:

  • Safety and Code Compliance: Modern panels reduce fire risks and meet current National Electrical Code requirements, including proper grounding, bonding, and AFCI/GFCI protection.
  • Support for Today’s Electrical Loads: A properly sized panel can support high-demand equipment such as EV chargers, HVAC systems, electric appliances, and smart-home devices.
  • Room for Future Additions: A 150A to 200A panel may support remodels, solar or battery systems, new appliances, and whole-home surge protection when the home’s load calculation and service equipment support that rating.
  • Insurance and Home Value Considerations: Outdated or hazardous panels may raise inspection or insurance concerns.

What to Expect During Your Electrical Panel Upgrade

Step 1: Assessment

We evaluate panel condition, grounding, wiring sizes, and total load demand. We also review the electrical service panel’s available capacity and planned loads to determine the appropriate scope of work.

Step 2: Recommendation & Estimate

We propose the correct panel size and outline required upgrades in a clear written estimate. Our recommendation is based on the assessment, not an automatic assumption that every home needs a larger service.

Step 3: Permits & Code Compliance

Our team handles permitting and coordinates compliance with National Electrical Code (NEC) and local requirements. Englewood requires a permit when electrical systems are added or altered, and the city has adopted the 2023 NEC as part of its current building codes. We coordinate the permit and inspection steps for the approved project scope.

Step 4: Installation & Testing

Most upgrades take four to eight hours, with same-day power restoration often possible. Timing and any interruption depend on the panel configuration, service equipment, utility coordination, permit conditions, inspection timing, and any additional wiring or service work.

  • Utility coordination
  • Removal of the old panel
  • Circuit labeling and verification
  • Optional surge protection
  • Installation of the new panel and updated grounding
  • Panel and circuit testing

Step 5: Final Review & Inspection

We walk through the completed work and arrange the final inspection. Englewood’s final electrical inspection checks that the service panel and service entrance are installed and energized.

Diagnosis-First Recommendations from Master Electricians

We diagnose first and recommend only what’s necessary. If repair is safe, we say so; if replacement is needed, we provide clear documentation.
