Four Reasons Homeowners in
Roseburg Upgrade Their Panel
A panel upgrade isn't always an emergency — but when you need one, it's usually blocking something you want to do. Here are the most common situations:
You're adding a large load
A hot tub, EV charger, air conditioner, or shop equipment can push a 100A service past its limit. A 200A upgrade gives you room to add what you need.
Your panel is old or damaged
Panels from the 1960s–1980s often used obsolete breaker brands that are known fire hazards. Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels should be replaced regardless of capacity.
You're remodeling or building an addition
Most additions and major remodels require a load calculation. If your current service can't support the new square footage, an upgrade is part of the permit process.
You're installing a standby generator
A generator with an automatic transfer switch requires room at your main panel. If your panel is full or undersized, the generator install includes a panel upgrade.
100A vs 200A — What That Means
A 100-amp service was standard in homes built before the 1980s. It's often enough for a modest home with gas heat, but runs out quickly when you add air conditioning, an EV charger, or a shop. A 200-amp service is the current standard and gives you enough capacity for modern loads. Most homes in Douglas County that haven't had service work done in the last 30 years are still on 100A.
What the Job Covers
Every panel upgrade we do includes the permit, inspection coordination, and labeled breakers — not just the hardware swap.
Load calculation
We calculate your home's actual electrical load before specifying the new panel size.
Electrical permit
Required in Oregon. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle the paperwork with your local jurisdiction.
New panel and breakers
We install a properly-sized panel with new breakers — no reusing old breakers in a new box.
Service riser or meter-main work
If the service entrance or meter base needs updating, we handle that as part of the job.
Grounding system update
We verify and update grounding and bonding to current code requirements.
Circuit labeling
Every circuit is labeled clearly. Not a single unlabeled breaker when we're done.
Inspection coordination
We schedule the inspection and are available for the walk-through.
What does it cost?
Most residential 200A panel upgrades in Roseburg run between $1,800 and $3,500, depending on whether the service entrance needs work, the meter base, and whether there's any riser or conduit involved.
Homes that need a meter-main combo or have an older service entrance can run higher. We give you an itemized quote after the site review — not a number off the top of our head.
How long does it take?
Most residential upgrades are done in one day. We typically schedule a utility hold 1–2 days before the install date. Your power is off for a portion of the day while we do the switchover, then back on once everything passes the rough-in inspection.
