The Panel Upgrade Specialists Los Angeles Trusts

An outdated electrical panel is more than an inconvenience — it is a safety hazard and a barrier to modern home technology. Whether you are adding EV chargers, solar, a home addition, or simply upgrading from a 100A service that can no longer keep up with your household demand, LED Guy Service delivers clean, code-compliant 200A and 400A panel upgrades across Los Angeles County. Every job is pulled with a proper LADBS permit, and we coordinate the LADWP power disconnect and reconnect on your behalf so the process is completely hands-off for you.

Our team has performed hundreds of panel replacements in the Los Angeles area, working across older bungalows in Hollywood, commercial buildings in the Valley, new construction in Calabasas, and everything in between. We replace Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Split-Bus, and outdated fuse box panels with modern Square D, Siemens, or Eaton equipment — all rated for California seismic and utility standards. Every installation is inspected and signed off by the city before we consider the job complete.

We know your time matters. That is why we schedule most panel upgrades as a single full-day job with our own crew — no subcontractors, no surprise overtime billing, and no unanswered calls. From the first estimate to the final inspection sign-off, Jorge and the LED Guy Service team are your single point of contact throughout the entire process.

Signs Your Panel Needs to Be Upgraded

Los Angeles homes and businesses often run on electrical panels that were never designed for today's energy demands. Here are the most common warning signs.

01

Breakers That Trip Repeatedly

If your breakers trip under normal household loads — appliances, HVAC, lighting — your panel's amperage is too low for your current demand. A 200A upgrade resolves this permanently.

02

Burning Smell or Warm Panel

Heat and burning odors near your panel are a fire hazard and require immediate inspection. Loose connections or overloaded breakers inside an aging panel can ignite without warning.

03

Lights Flicker When Appliances Run

Flickering lights when your AC, washer, or dryer kicks on signals that your panel cannot supply stable voltage. This is especially common in older Los Angeles homes with 100A or split-bus panels.

04

Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Fuse Box

These older panel brands are known fire hazards that fail to trip under overload conditions. If your Los Angeles home still has one, replacement is strongly recommended by the CPSC.

05

Installing an EV Charger or Solar

Level 2 EV chargers and solar inverters require dedicated high-amperage circuits. Most older panels do not have available capacity, making a panel upgrade a required first step.

06

Home Addition or ADU Build

Adding square footage, a new kitchen, or a garage ADU significantly increases electrical load. LADBS requires sufficient panel capacity before approving permits for major additions.

Electrical Panel Upgrade — Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions Los Angeles homeowners and business owners ask most before scheduling a panel upgrade.

The cost of a 200A panel upgrade in Los Angeles typically depends on the age of your existing service, the number of circuits, and whether LADWP requires a meter base replacement. LED Guy Service provides free on-site estimates with a flat-rate quote so you know the full price before any work begins. There are no surprise fees and no overtime charges.
Yes — every panel upgrade we perform in Los Angeles is pulled with a proper LADBS electrical permit. We handle the permit application, schedule the city inspection, and ensure the work is signed off before we close out the job. You receive a copy of the final inspection approval for your records.
Most residential 200A panel upgrades are completed in a single day. Our crew arrives in the morning, coordinates the LADWP power disconnect, installs the new panel, reconnects all circuits, and restores your power before we leave. Commercial 400A installations may require a second day for larger properties. We do not charge overtime regardless of project size.
In many cases, yes. Level 2 EV chargers require a dedicated 50-amp circuit, and older 100A panels often do not have the available capacity to support one safely. We assess your existing panel load before any EV charger installation and let you know whether an upgrade is required. If it is, we can combine both jobs into a single coordinated visit.
We install Square D, Siemens, and Eaton electrical panels — all rated for California seismic requirements and compatible with LADWP service. We do not install Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or off-brand panels. If your existing panel is one of those brands, we strongly recommend replacing it, and we can walk you through the safety concerns during your free estimate.
Yes. LED Guy Service performs panel upgrades for single-family homes, multi-unit residential buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, offices, and commercial properties throughout Los Angeles County. Commercial 400A three-phase installations are available and we handle all associated LADBS and utility coordination regardless of project scope.
