Electrical Panel Upgrade in Alexandria, TN
Panel upgrades aren't one-size-fits-all — a 1970s fuse box, a recalled Federal Pacific panel, and a modern breaker panel that's simply full all call for different solutions. Center Hill Electric Co. evaluates and upgrades electrical panels of every age and size throughout Alexandria, TN.
Whether you need more capacity for a growing home, a replacement for a panel brand with a known failure history, or simply a cleaner, safer panel than what's currently installed, we scope the right upgrade for your specific situation.
Electrical Panel Upgrade You Can Rely On in Alexandria, TN
We start with an on-site evaluation of your current panel — its age, brand, amperage, and condition — since panels like Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and certain Zinsco models have documented breaker failure rates and are commonly recommended for replacement regardless of remaining capacity.
For panels that are simply outdated or full, we upgrade to a modern panel sized appropriately for your home or business, whether that's 100, 150, or 200 amps, with clean breaker labeling and room for the circuits you're likely to add down the road.
Every upgrade includes updated grounding and bonding, a new or inspected service entrance, and full permitting and inspection coordination, so the finished panel isn't just functional — it's fully documented and compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my panel needs to be replaced?
Warning signs include a Federal Pacific or Zinsco brand panel, frequent breaker trips, visible corrosion or scorching, or simply running out of open breaker slots.
Is a Federal Pacific panel really dangerous?
Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels have a well-documented history of breakers failing to trip during overloads, and replacement is widely recommended regardless of the panel's apparent condition.
What size panel do I actually need?
We run a load calculation based on your current and planned electrical use — appliances, HVAC, EV chargers — to recommend the correct amperage rather than guessing.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential panel upgrades take a single day, including a scheduled power outage window coordinated with your utility.
Do you handle the permit and inspection?
Yes, permitting and inspection coordination is included with every panel upgrade or replacement we perform.
