Residential Electric Panel Upgrade Brooklyn, NY
Modern Panels For Modern Living
Your home’s electrical panel is the heart of your entire electrical system. When it’s outdated or undersized, you’re living with constant circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, and the real risk of electrical fires.
Most homes built before 1990 have 100-amp panels that can’t handle today’s electrical demands. Smart TVs, home offices, modern appliances, and charging stations need more power than these old systems can safely deliver.
A professional home electrical panel replacement solves these problems permanently. You get the capacity you need, the safety you deserve, and the assurance that comes with knowing your electrical system is built for how you live.

Home Electrical System Upgrade Brooklyn, NY
What's Included in Your Upgrade
New York City’s housing stock includes everything from century-old brownstones to mid-century apartments, and most weren’t built for today’s electrical demands. Pre-war buildings often have 60-amp service that’s completely inadequate for modern living.
We see the same problems in home after home: panels tucked into cramped closets, outdated breakers that don’t trip when they should, and wiring that’s been patched and re-patched over decades. These are safety hazards.
The good news is that a proper residential electric service upgrade fixes all of these issues. You get clean, reliable power distribution, proper safety protection, and the capacity to live comfortably in your home without constantly managing your electrical usage.
200 Amp Panel Upgrade Brooklyn, NY
What's Included In Your Upgrade
Every home electrical panel replacement we do includes a complete assessment of your current system and a new panel sized for your needs. Most homes benefit from a 200-amp upgrade, which offers plenty of capacity for modern living.
The process involves safely disconnecting your old panel, installing the new one with proper grounding, and connecting all your circuits with updated breakers. We handle all permits and inspections required by the NYC Department of Buildings.
You also get updated safety features like arc fault protection that older panels don’t have. These modern breakers can detect dangerous electrical arcs and shut off power before a fire starts – protection that could save your home and your family.
Home Electric Panel Upgrade FAQs
Common questions about Home Electric Panel Upgrade
How much does a home electric panel upgrade cost in Brooklyn?
The cost of a residential electric panel upgrade in Brooklyn typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000, depending on your home’s specific needs and the complexity of the installation. Factors that affect pricing include the amperage of your new panel, whether additional wiring is needed, and the accessibility of your current panel location. Many Brooklyn homes have panels in tight spaces or unusual locations, which can add to the labor time required. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
How long does an electrical panel upgrade take in Brooklyn?
Most home electrical panel replacements in Brooklyn take 4-8 hours to complete, though complex installations may require a full day. The timeline depends on factors like the condition of your existing wiring, whether we need to upgrade your service line from the utility, and how accessible your panel location is. Brooklyn’s older homes sometimes present unique challenges that require additional time to address safely. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during our initial assessment and keep you informed throughout the process.
Do I need permits for an electric panel upgrade in Brooklyn?
Yes, all electrical panel upgrades in Brooklyn require permits from the NYC Department of Buildings, and the work must be performed by a licensed electrician. We handle all permit applications and coordinate the required inspections to ensure your installation meets all local codes and safety standards. This isn’t just bureaucracy – these requirements exist to protect you and ensure the work is done safely. Attempting to upgrade your panel without proper permits can create liability issues and problems when you sell your home.
Can I upgrade my electrical panel without rewiring my whole house?
In many cases, yes – you can upgrade your electrical panel without completely rewiring your home. However, this depends on the condition of your existing wiring and whether it meets current safety codes. During our assessment, we’ll examine your wiring to determine what can stay and what needs to be updated. Sometimes we find that certain circuits need new wiring for safety reasons, but complete rewiring is often unnecessary. We’ll explain exactly what’s needed for your specific situation and why.
Will upgrading my electrical panel increase my home's value?
Yes, a modern electrical panel upgrade typically increases your home’s value and makes it more attractive to potential buyers. Brooklyn buyers are particularly concerned about electrical safety and code compliance in older buildings. A new 200-amp panel with modern safety features demonstrates that your home can handle today’s electrical demands without the buyer needing to worry about immediate upgrades. Many real estate professionals consider updated electrical systems essential for competitive pricing in Brooklyn’s market.
What are the signs that I need an electrical panel upgrade?
Common signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights when appliances turn on, burning smells near your panel, or having to use extension cords regularly because you don’t have enough outlets. If your home has an old fuse box or a panel that’s more than 25 years old, it’s likely time for an upgrade. Brooklyn homes with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or other recalled panel brands should be upgraded immediately for safety reasons. Additionally, if you’re planning to add major appliances, an EV charger, or a home addition, your current panel may not have the capacity to handle the increased electrical load safely.
