Electrical Panel Upgrades For Puyallup Homes and Businesses

We size every new panel with a load calculation, so it fits the way you live now and the EV, heat pump or shop you plan to add. That planning is what separates a lasting upgrade from a panel that fills up again in two years.

Older homes near downtown and along the valley floor still run on 60 to 100-amp services, sometimes with panels a previous owner swapped without a permit. Newer South Hill homes usually have 200 amps but run out of breaker space as families add equipment.

Questions we get asked a lot

Don't see yours? Call (253) 290-2336, we're happy to talk it through.

How do I know if I need an electrical panel upgrade?

Common signs are breakers that trip often, a fuse box or 60–100A service, a Zinsco or Federal Pacific panel, a warm or buzzing panel, no open breaker slots, or plans to add an EV charger, heat pump, hot tub or ADU.

How much does a panel upgrade cost in Puyallup?

It depends on whether the meter base and service entrance need replacing and how many circuits need AFCI/GFCI. We give a fixed written price after a free visit.

How long will my power be off?

For most homes, part of one day.

Do I need 200 amps?

If you’re adding an EV charger, heat pump, hot tub or ADU, usually. A load calculation confirms it.

Do you pull the permit?

Yes. In Puyallup, we pull the L&I permit and book the inspection.

Can you upgrade commercial panels?

Yes, including subpanels and three-phase services.
