Panel FAQs

Electrical Panel Questions

How do I know if I need a new electrical panel?

A panel may need replacement when it is damaged, obsolete, undersized for the property's needs, affected by corrosion or heat damage, or when required upgrades cannot reasonably be completed with the existing equipment. An on-site evaluation is the best way to determine the appropriate solution.

Can you replace just a bad breaker?

Sometimes. If the panel and bus are in suitable condition and a correct compatible breaker is available, a breaker replacement may resolve the problem. Other symptoms can indicate a larger issue, so troubleshooting should come first.

Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?

Not always. The existing service capacity, panel space, charger size and other electrical loads all matter. We can evaluate those factors before recommending whether a dedicated circuit alone is sufficient or whether an upgrade is needed.

How long does electrical panel replacement take?

The duration depends on the existing equipment, service configuration, utility coordination, permitting and the exact scope of work. We can provide a more specific expectation after evaluating the property.

Do you serve areas outside Lafayette?

Yes. We serve Lafayette and nearby Acadiana communities including Broussard, Youngsville, Scott, Carencro, Duson and surrounding areas.
