Electrical Panel Replacement Brooklyn, NY
From Dangerous Fuse Box To Safe Modern Panel
Your 60-amp fuse box was designed for homes with a few lights and maybe a refrigerator. Today’s families need power for dishwashers, air conditioning, computers, and dozens of other devices that didn’t exist when your fuse box was installed.
We replace outdated fuse boxes with modern 200-amp electrical panels that handle your family’s real electrical needs. No more blown fuses when you run the washing machine and air conditioner at the same time. No more fire hazards from overloaded circuits.

Licensed Fuse Box Upgrade Brooklyn, NY
What's Included In Your Panel Upgrade
That fuse box in your basement wasn’t built for today’s electrical demands. Most were designed for 60 amps maximum, but modern homes regularly need 200 amps or more. When you overload these old systems, the wiring overheats and becomes a serious fire hazard.
Even worse, many homeowners have had unlicensed “fixes” done over the years. We regularly find dangerous modifications like pennies used in place of proper fuses, which completely defeats the safety system and puts your family at risk. A proper electrical panel upgrade eliminates these dangers completely.

Fuse Box Upgrades FAQs
Common questions about Fuse Box Upgrades
How long does a fuse box upgrade take in Brooklyn?
Most residential fuse box upgrades in Brooklyn take 4-8 hours to complete, depending on your home’s specific wiring situation. We typically schedule the work as a single-day project to minimize inconvenience. The power will be off for several hours during the installation, but we coordinate with you to choose the best time. If additional wiring work is needed to bring everything up to current NYC electrical codes, the project might extend to two days, but we’ll discuss this during your initial assessment.
Do I need permits for electrical panel replacement in Brooklyn?
Yes, NYC requires permits for all electrical panel replacements and modifications. As licensed Master Electricians, we handle all permit applications with the Department of Buildings and ensure your upgrade meets current NYC electrical codes. The work must also be inspected by DOB to receive final approval. This isn’t optional – unpermitted electrical work can create insurance issues and problems when you sell your home. We include all permit costs in our quoted price so there are no surprises.
Can my old fuse box handle modern appliances safely?
Most fuse boxes installed before 1990 were designed for 60 amps maximum, but today’s homes regularly need 200 amps or more. When you try to run modern appliances on an old fuse system, you’re forcing it to handle electrical loads it was never designed for. This creates serious fire hazards from overheated wiring and components. Even if your fuses aren’t blowing constantly, the system is likely operating beyond its safe capacity. A modern electrical panel is designed specifically to handle today’s electrical demands safely.
Will upgrading my electrical panel lower my insurance costs?
Many homeowner’s insurance companies charge higher premiums for homes with fuse boxes, and some won’t provide coverage at all. Insurance companies view fuse boxes as high-risk because they’re outdated and more likely to cause electrical fires. When you upgrade to a modern circuit breaker panel, you can often reduce your insurance premiums and ensure you have full coverage. You’ll need to provide your insurance company with documentation of the upgrade, which we provide after the DOB inspection is complete.
What's the difference between fuses and circuit breakers?
Fuses are one-time-use safety devices that must be completely replaced when they blow, while circuit breakers can be reset with the flip of a switch. More importantly, fuses are less precise and slower to react to electrical problems than modern circuit breakers. Circuit breakers also provide better protection against both overloads and short circuits. When you upgrade to a circuit breaker panel, you get more reliable protection, greater convenience, and the ability to handle much higher electrical loads safely.
How much does fuse box replacement cost in Brooklyn?
Fuse box replacement costs in Brooklyn typically range from $3,000 to $5,000, depending on your home’s specific electrical needs and any additional wiring required to meet current codes. This includes the new electrical panel, all necessary permits, professional installation by licensed electricians, and the required DOB inspection. We provide binding quotes so you know exactly what your upgrade will cost with no surprise fees. The investment pays for itself through lower insurance premiums, increased home value, and the peace of mind that comes with a safe electrical system.
