Electrical Panel Upgrades in San Diego, CA | Licensed & Local Electricians

Are you experiencing flickering lights, tripping breakers, or planning a home renovation in San Diego? Your electrical panel might be outdated or undersized for today’s energy demands. At Green Electric Solutions, we specialize in electrical panel upgrades in San Diego, CA, helping homeowners and businesses stay safe, up to code, and fully powered.


Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel in San Diego?

Your electrical panel—also known as a breaker box or fuse box—is the heart of your property’s power system. If your panel is more than 25 years old or struggling to support your modern appliances, it may be time for an upgrade.

Common Reasons San Diego Residents Upgrade:

  • Frequent breaker trips or blown fuses
  • Adding large appliances (hot tub, EV charger, HVAC)
  • Home remodels and expansions
  • Insurance requirements
  • Preparing for solar panel installation
  • Outdated fuse box or Zinsco/FPE panel (fire risk)

Benefits of an Electrical Panel Upgrade

1. Increased Safety

Outdated panels can lead to overheating, sparks, and even electrical fires. A modern panel greatly reduces these risks.

2. More Power for Modern Living

A 200-amp panel lets you run AC, EV chargers, and kitchen appliances simultaneously without issues.

3. Code Compliance

We ensure your panel is installed to California Electrical Code and San Diego permit regulations.

4. Boosted Home Value

Buyers in San Diego look for upgraded electrical systems—especially in older homes near North Park, Pacific Beach, or Kensington.
