We follow a straightforward, transparent process so you know exactly what to expect from your panel upgrade or replacement.
A Red Dirt Electric electrician visits your Paradise property to evaluate your existing panel, review your electrical load needs, and identify any code concerns before recommending a solution.
We walk you through panel options suited to your home or business, including amperage requirements for modern appliances, EV chargers, or backup generators.
Once you approve the plan, we schedule the installation at a time that works for you, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
Our electricians complete the panel upgrade using high-quality materials, ensuring all circuits are properly connected, labeled, and operating safely before we leave.
Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.
Q1
Common signs include frequently tripping breakers, a fuse box instead of a breaker panel, burning smells near the panel, flickering lights, or a panel that can't support new appliances. A professional assessment from Red Dirt Electric can confirm whether an upgrade is needed.
Q2
Most modern homes require a 200-amp panel to handle today's electrical loads. Older properties may still have 100-amp service, which may not adequately support appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, or home offices.
Q3
Yes. Level 2 EV chargers typically require a dedicated 240-volt circuit with sufficient amperage. If your current panel lacks available capacity, a panel upgrade is often the right first step before EV charger installation.
Q4
Yes, electrical panel replacements in California require a permit from the local authority. Red Dirt Electric manages the permitting process as part of the project to ensure your work is code-compliant and properly inspected.
Q5
Most panel replacements are completed in a single day. The actual timeframe depends on the complexity of the job, the panel size, and whether additional wiring or service entrance work is required.
Q6
Yes, your electrical service will need to be temporarily shut off during the replacement. We work efficiently to minimize downtime and restore power to your home or business as quickly as safely possible.
Q7
Absolutely. We offer generator installation services and can incorporate a proper transfer switch or generator connection point into your new panel setup for added reliability during outages.
