Your electrical panel controls every circuit in your home, and when it’s not right, nothing else works the way it should. Express Electrical handles every type of panel work across Los Angeles, from repairs and replacements to full 200-amp upgrades with permits and financing.
Your electrical panel is the control center for every circuit in your home. It distributes power, protects wiring, and determines how much electrical load your house can handle. If the panel is outdated, damaged, undersized, or in the wrong location, every other part of the system suffers. Express Electrical handles every type of panel work across Los Angeles: repairs, replacements, upgrades from 100 to 200 amps, sub-panel installations, relocations, smart panels, and inspections. We pull the permits, coordinate with LADWP, and handle the LADBS inspection. GreenSky financing available for larger projects.
Below are some of the panel services we offer.
The repair calls we get every day fall into a few patterns. Homes built in the 1940s through 1970s across neighborhoods like Silver Lake, Echo Park, Highland Park, and East LA make up a huge share of our work. The wiring in these homes has been carrying loads it was never designed for, and decades of patching by different contractors have created systems that are a mix of old and new, not always connected properly.
The most common complaints are breakers that trip when multiple appliances run at the same time, outlets that stopped working with no obvious cause, and lights that flicker or dim when the AC kicks on. Each of those points to a different underlying issue, and each one needs a different fix. We don’t guess. We test, trace, and diagnose before we quote anything.
If your electrical panel is outdated, old, or malfunctioning, it’s time to schedule an upgrade. Otherwise, there’s a high risk of power surges and outages. Appliances may be damaged and have to be replaced. If the panel is overloaded, corroded, or overheated, it can start an electrical fire. Therefore, call an electrician for an electrical panel upgrade if:
Breakers frequently trip
Lights flicker or dim
The breaker box buzzes, pops, or crackles
The panel feels warm or hot
The panel has a burning smell
A breaker is burnt or scorched
You need more outlets
You’re adding appliances
You’re remodeling your home
An electrical panel upgrade can benefit you in many ways. Our electricians will install a panel sized according to the number of circuits, appliances, and outlets in your home. Therefore, you can see all the advantages of electrical panel replacement, including:
During electrical panel installation, technicians will install the panel and its components such as panel wiring, breakers, bus bars, etc. If you have a generator or solar equipment, they’ll be connected to the panel, while smart panel options such as load management and reporting may be set up.
It takes about four to eight hours. The time depends on any rewiring or other labor needed and how many technicians work on your electrical panel.
On average, an electrical panel should last 20 to 30 years. Increased wear and tear and power surges can result in having to replace the panel sooner.

Age, condition, brand, and capacity all factor in. If the panel is structurally sound and the right size, a repair makes sense. If it’s a recalled brand, severely corroded, or undersized for your needs, replacement is the better investment.
