Your electrical panel is the heart of your electrical system. It takes power from the utility and distributes it safely to every circuit in your building. When a panel is old, damaged, or too small, it can cause nuisance outages and, in the worst cases, become a fire hazard. All Current Electric replaces panels and upgrades electrical service for homes and businesses throughout Irving and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Warning Signs Your Panel May Need Replacement
- Breakers trip often or will not reset
- Burning smell, scorch marks, or discoloration at the panel
- Buzzing, crackling, or humming sounds
- Panel feels warm or hot to the touch
- Rust or corrosion inside the panel
- Lights that dim or flicker when large appliances run
- A fuse box, or a panel of a brand with known safety concerns
- Your home is 25+ years old and the panel has never been evaluated
- You are adding an EV charger, hot tub, workshop, or HVAC upgrade and the panel is at capacity
If you smell burning or see sparks, call us right away. (469) 363-4926.
Panel Replacement vs. 200-Amp Service Upgrade: What Is the Difference?
Panel replacement swaps the breaker panel for a new one, often at the same amperage. It is the right fix for a damaged, outdated, or recalled panel.
A 200-amp service upgrade increases the total electrical capacity coming into your building. It typically includes a new panel, and may include a new meter base, service conductors, and grounding. Many older homes have 100-amp service or less. A 200-amp service is a common choice for homes with central air, electric appliances, EV charging, or planned additions.
We will evaluate your needs during the estimate and recommend the right option. You will not be sold an upgrade you do not need.
Honest service. Will use them for all our business projects.

Our Panel Replacement Process
- Inspection and load evaluation. We look at your current panel, wiring, and what you plan to add.
- Written estimate. You get a clear scope and price.
- Permit and utility coordination. We handle permit paperwork. For service upgrades, power must be disconnected and reconnected, which involves your electric utility and the city inspector.
- Installation. Power will be off for part of the day, and we plan the work to keep that downtime as short as possible.
- Inspection and testing. We label the panel, test every circuit, and make sure it passes inspection.
- Walkthrough. We show you the new panel and answer your questions.
Residential and Commercial Panel Work
We replace panels in single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and small apartment buildings, and we install and upgrade commercial panels, subpanels, and distribution equipment for businesses.
How Long Does It Take?
Most residential panel replacements can be completed in a day, though timing depends on the job, permit, and utility scheduling. We will give you a realistic timeline in your estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a 200-amp service? If your home has 100-amp service or less, frequently trips breakers, or you plan to add an EV charger, central air, or an addition, an upgrade is worth considering. We will check your actual electrical load.
Is it safe to replace a panel myself? No. The service entrance conductors stay energized even with the main breaker off, which makes this work dangerous. Panel work should only be done by a licensed electrician.
Do I need a permit? In most cases, yes. We handle permitting and inspection.
What does a panel replacement cost? It varies with panel size, wiring condition, and whether a meter base or service upgrade is needed. Request an estimate and we will give you a clear number.
Can you replace a fuse box? Yes. We convert fuse boxes to modern breaker panels.
