How It Works

Our Panel Upgrade Process

A panel upgrade is a straightforward process when it's handled by someone who knows what they're doing. Here's what to expect when you work with Classic Electric Co.

01Step 1

Initial Assessment

We start by reviewing your current panel, evaluating your electrical load, and identifying whether a full replacement or targeted upgrade is the right solution for your property.

02Step 2

Clear Scope and Scheduling

Once we understand what's needed, we walk you through the scope of work before scheduling. No surprises on the day of the job.

03Step 3

Upgrade Installation

Our electricians handle the full installation, including disconnecting the old panel, installing the new one, reconnecting circuits, and verifying everything is properly labeled and functional.

04Step 4

Code Compliance and Verification

We confirm the completed work meets current TX electrical code requirements. If a permit or utility coordination is required, we handle that as part of the process.

Frequently asked

Panel Upgrade Questions, Answered

Common questions get answered quickly so the page feels more trustworthy before someone reaches out.

Q1

How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade?

Common signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, a panel that feels warm to the touch, or a fuse box that hasn't been updated in decades. If you're adding high-draw appliances or an EV charger, a capacity upgrade may be needed.

Q2

What size panel do most homes in San Antonio need?

Most modern homes run comfortably on a 200-amp panel. Older homes with 60 or 100-amp service often benefit from upgrading, especially if you're running central AC, electric appliances, or planning to add an EV charger.

Q3

Does a panel upgrade require a permit in San Antonio?

Yes, most panel upgrades in San Antonio, TX require a permit. Classic Electric Co. handles the permitting process as part of the job so you don't have to track that down yourself.

Q4

How long does a service panel upgrade take?

Most residential panel upgrades are completed in a single day. Larger commercial jobs or cases requiring utility coordination may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeframe before we start.

Q5

Will my power be off during the upgrade?

Yes, power to your home or the affected circuits will be off during the installation. We work efficiently to minimize downtime and let you know in advance how long to expect the outage to last.

Q6

Can a panel upgrade support an EV charger installation?

Absolutely. EV chargers, particularly Level 2 units, draw significant power. If your current panel doesn't have the capacity, upgrading it first is the right move. We handle both services and can coordinate them as one project.

Q7

Is there a difference between a panel upgrade and a service upgrade?

A panel upgrade replaces or expands your breaker panel. A service upgrade increases the amperage coming into your home from the utility. Sometimes both are needed, and Classic Electric Co. can assess which applies to your situation.

Q8

Do you handle commercial panel upgrades in San Antonio?

Yes. Classic Electric Co. works with both residential and commercial clients throughout San Antonio. Commercial panel upgrades follow a similar process but are scoped to the higher demand loads businesses typically require.
