Electrical Panel Upgrades in Southern California

Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?

Most homes built before 2000 have 100-amp panels — designed for a time when households used far less electricity. Today's modern homes with EV chargers, HVAC systems, hot tubs, and smart appliances routinely demand 200 amps or more. An undersized panel is not just inconvenient; it's a safety hazard.

Signs you need a panel upgrade include: frequently tripped breakers, lights that flicker when appliances run, burning smells near the panel, the inability to add new circuits, or plans to install an EV charger or home addition. ML Electric's licensed electricians diagnose your current capacity and recommend the right upgrade for your situation.
