Panel upgrades and breaker box replacement in Fairfax, California
Most homes in Fairfax were wired for a fraction of the load they now carry. Add an EV, a heat pump and an induction range to a 100 amp panel and you run out of capacity long before you run out of ideas. A service upgrade gives you headroom, working space and modern breaker protection.

What affects panel upgrade pricing in Fairfax
| Service size and panel location | A straight swap in the same spot costs far less than relocating the service. |
|---|---|
| Meter and mast condition | Rusted masts, buried service and damaged meter bases add work at the utility side. |
| Grounding and bonding | Older homes often need ground rods and a proper water bond added. |
| Permit and utility coordination | Included in the quote, but the schedule depends on the local inspector and utility. |

Recent Fairfax feedback
Panel had no room left and we wanted an EV charger. Got a straight answer, a flat number, and the whole thing done in a day. The new labels alone were worth it.

Anthony V.Fairfax, CAHalf my kitchen went dead and two other people had already guessed at it. These guys traced it to a bad connection in a box behind a cabinet in about forty minutes.
Priya S.Fairfax, CAElectrical Panel Upgrade in Fairfax — questions we get asked
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Fairfax?
Panel and service work is permitted work in California. We pull it, meet the inspector, and handle the utility coordination so the job closes out properly.
Do I really need 200 amps?
If you are adding EV charging, electric heat, a hot tub or an ADU, yes — and it is far cheaper to do it once. If your loads are modest and the panel is simply old, a same-size replacement may be all you need. We tell you which case you are in.
Will you fix the labeling?
Every panel we touch leaves with each breaker mapped and labeled. It takes twenty minutes and saves the next electrician an hour.
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Fairfax?
In Fairfax and the wider Marin County market, a straightforward 200 amp upgrade usually lands in the low-to-mid four figures, with meter relocation, long service runs and mast work pushing it higher. You get one flat number after we look at the service entrance, not a range.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most Fairfax residential upgrades are a one-day job. Power is off for part of that day while the utility disconnects and reconnects, and we schedule that window with you in advance.
