Panel Upgrades and Circuit Work for Modern Loads

First Choice General Contractor begins electrical projects in Lancaster by assessing your current panel capacity, identifying circuits that need upgrading, and planning the layout for new outlets or lighting. You will see electricians run wire through walls or attics, install breakers in the panel, and test each circuit for proper voltage and grounding. Tools include voltage testers, wire strippers, and fish tape for routing cables through finished walls.

After the work is complete, your outlets will deliver consistent power, lights will operate without flickering, and the panel will handle additional appliances without tripping. Upgrading to a two-hundred-amp panel allows you to add central air, electric vehicle chargers, or high-demand kitchen appliances without overloading the system.

The service includes panel upgrades, circuit installation, outlet and switch replacement, and lighting integration during remodels. It does not include service line upgrades from the utility, though those can be coordinated if your home requires more capacity than the current line provides. Older homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring may need full rewiring to meet safety standards, and remodel work often requires permits and inspections before the project closes.

Common Electrical Questions Answered Simply

Homeowners in Lancaster often ask about panel upgrades, circuit capacity, and what electrical work is required during remodels. These answers address the practical concerns you should consider before scheduling electrical service.

What does a panel upgrade involve?
A panel upgrade replaces your existing breaker box with a larger one, typically increasing capacity from one hundred to two hundred amps. First Choice General Contractor installs the new panel, runs updated circuits, and ensures the system meets current code requirements.
How do I know if my electrical system needs upgrading?
Signs include frequent breaker trips, outlets that do not hold plugs securely, flickering lights, or a panel that feels warm to the touch. You should also upgrade if you are adding high-demand appliances or planning a major remodel.
Why do circuit breakers trip repeatedly?
Repeated tripping usually means the circuit is overloaded, there is a short in the wiring, or the breaker itself has failed. First Choice General Contractor tests the circuit to identify the cause and either redistributes the load or replaces faulty components.
What electrical work is required during a kitchen remodel?
Kitchen remodels typically require new circuits for appliances, additional outlets for countertop use, and updated lighting. You may also need a panel upgrade if the existing system cannot support the added load.
How long does electrical work take?
Simple repairs or outlet installations take a few hours, while panel upgrades or full remodel wiring can take one to three days depending on the scope. First Choice General Contractor schedules inspections as needed to keep the project moving.
