Panel and Service Work We Handle
Every job below starts with a walkthrough and a load calculation, whether you need a 100 amp panel or a 400 amp service for an EV charger and solar.
100 to 200 Amp Service Upgrade
The standard upgrade for older Upland homes still running 60 or 100 amp service.
200 to 400 Amp Service Upgrade
Built for larger homes adding EV chargers, solar, or a detached ADU. A 400 amp service splits into two 200 amp panels so you keep room for future circuits.
Subpanel Installation
A subpanel in the garage or at the back of the house shortens circuit runs and clears space in a crowded main panel.
Fuse Box to Breaker Panel Conversion
Old fuse boxes in Historic Downtown Upland homes cannot take AFCI or GFCI protection and often have no main disconnect.
Outdated Panel Replacement
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are known failure points, and insurance carriers in Upland increasingly ask about them.
AFCI and GFCI Breaker Installation
AFCI breakers protect bedrooms and living areas from arc faults; GFCI breakers protect kitchens, baths, laundry, and garage circuits.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
A surge protective device at the panel catches the spikes that fry electronics, garage openers, and HVAC boards.
Meter Main and Service Mast Replacement
Storm damage and age crack service masts and corrode meter mains. We replace both, re-terminate the utility drop, and make sure the mast height and clearances pass inspection.
Electrical Load Calculation and Inspection
Before any upgrade we run a full load calculation on your appliances, square footage, and HVAC.
EV-Ready and Solar-Ready Panel Upgrades
Adding a Level 2 charger or rooftop solar usually means a panel with open capacity and a dedicated 240V circuit.
How a Panel Upgrade Actually Goes
From the first call to the inspector signing off, here is the sequence we follow on every Electrical Panel Upgrade Upland CA job. You will know what is happening and when the power comes back on.
Walkthrough and Load Calc
We inspect the existing panel, meter main, and service mast, then run a load calculation on your appliances and square footage. You get a written scope and a fixed price before anything is ordered.
Permit and Scheduling
We file the city electrical permit and schedule the utility disconnect. Most Upland jobs get on the calendar within the same week, and we confirm the day and the power-off window with you in advance.
Panel and Service Swap
Power off, old panel out, new panel and meter main in. We torque every breaker terminal, land the grounding electrode conductor, and install AFCI and GFCI breakers where the code calls for them.
Test, Label, and Inspect
We test each circuit with a voltage tester and circuit breaker finder, print the panel labels, and walk the inspector through the work. You get the signed inspection card and a written summary of the job.

Describe what you are seeing and we will point you to the right next step.
(909) 850-3163A like-for-like breaker panel swap in Upland typically runs $1,850 to $2,900, while a full 200 amp service upgrade with a new meter main and mast lands between $3,200 and $5,400. A 400 amp dual-panel setup for an EV and solar runs $6,500 to $9,800. The load calculation and panel location drive the final number.
Look for a C-10 Electrical Contractor License, a willingness to pull the city permit, and a crew that runs a load calculation before quoting. We do all three, work to NEC 2020 and California Electrical Code, and leave every panel labeled. Ask any contractor for their license number and permit history before you hire.
Yes. The City of Upland requires an electrical permit for a panel or service change, and the work has to pass inspection. Unpermitted panel swaps can surface during a home sale and give an insurer grounds to deny a claim. We file the permit and meet the inspector on site as part of the job.
Most single-family homes in Upland do fine on 200 amps, which covers central AC, an electric range, a dryer, and a future EV charger. Homes over 3,000 square feet or those adding solar and an ADU often go to 400 amps split across two panels. We confirm with a load calculation rather than guessing.
