When Your San Diego Property Needs a Panel Upgrade

If you're seeing any of the following, it's time to talk to a licensed contractor:

• Repeated breaker trips under normal household use, even after resetting
• Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Pushmatic panels still in service (these are widely considered fire hazards because their breakers can fail to trip during an overload; insurers often flag them during home sales or policy renewals)
• Planning to add an EV charger that requires a dedicated 40 to 60 amp circuit, and your existing 100A panel lacks capacity
• Adding major loads: heat pump, HVAC upgrade, hot tub, ADU, or home addition
• Pre-1990 home still running on its original 100A panel
• Solar installation planned (many photovoltaic systems require a panel upgrade before commissioning)
• Burning smell, scorching, or buzzing sounds coming from the panel enclosure
• Flickering or dimming lights when large appliances cycle on

What Our San Diego Panel Upgrade Includes

We offer two primary service tiers for panel upgrades, each with permits, SDG&E coordination, and NEC-compliant grounding and bonding included. Both tiers require SDG&E approval and building department sign-off before work begins. We submit the service change work order, coordinate with SDG&E's planner on conduit size, meter height, and clearances, and schedule the disconnect and reconnect so you don't have to manage any of it.

200A Panel Upgrade Scope

Our 200A upgrade covers the full scope most San Diego homes need when stepping up from an aging 100A panel. The service includes a new 200A electrical panel with standard circuit breakers, grounding (including two ground rods, cold water bond, and panel connection per NEC requirements), stucco patch repair around the panel, and the electrical permit. Installation takes place at the same meter location.

Contact us at (951) 447-8395 for a detailed quote on your 200A upgrade. Pricing depends on your property's specific conditions, panel location, and SDG&E requirements.

400A Panel Upgrade Scope

For larger homes, multi-unit properties, or buildings with high electrical demand (EV chargers, pool equipment, multiple HVAC systems, ADUs), our 400A upgrade is published at $12,500. This includes a new 400A electrical panel, standard circuit breakers, grounding, stucco patch repair, and the electrical permit. Like the 200A tier, installation is at the same meter location and requires SDG&E confirmation of clearances and service upgrade capacity.

Both service tiers include drywall and stucco cutting as needed to accommodate wiring into the electrical panel. Paint after final inspection is the homeowner's responsibility. Many installations are completed in a single day, though the full process from SDG&E work order submission to final city inspection can take several weeks depending on scheduling.

Why San Diego Homeowners Choose Faith Electric Group

Walter Herrera built Faith Electric Group after seeing firsthand where electrical contractors were falling short: vague quotes, unnecessary upsells, and corners cut to save time. We don't operate that way. Every panel upgrade gets upfront pricing before work begins, and we don't push products or services you don't need. Our leadership team carries over 50 years of combined electrical industry experience, and that depth shows in how we handle SDG&E coordination, permit requirements, and complex load scenarios.

We've partnered with Wisetack to offer financing on panel upgrades between $500 and $25,000. Terms range from 3 to 60 months, and 0% APR is available for qualified customers. Checking your options requires only a soft credit pull, so there's no impact to your credit score just to see what you qualify for.

If your panel upgrade is part of a larger project (whole-home backup, EV charger readiness, or new construction), we bring additional capabilities to the table. We're a certified Generac installer for automatic standby generators and transfer switches, so your panel upgrade and generator integration can be handled by a single contractor. Our DBE, MBE, and SBE certifications also qualify us for government projects, school districts, hospitals, and commercial developments across the San Diego area.

We're available 24/7 for emergencies and offer same-day service when your situation is urgent. When you call, you're working with a California-licensed, fully bonded and insured contractor that treats every customer like family.
