How It Works

From Assessment to Final Inspection

Panel upgrades follow a clear sequence. Here is what to expect when you work with Brey Electric.

01Step 1

Initial Assessment

We evaluate your existing panel, service entrance, and overall electrical load to determine what size and type of upgrade fits your home or building.

02Step 2

Scope and Scheduling

Once we know what the job requires, we walk you through the plan, confirm scheduling, and handle any necessary permit applications before work begins.

03Step 3

Panel Installation

Our crew installs the new panel, transfers existing circuits, and connects any new circuits required for EV chargers, generators, or added loads.

04Step 4

Inspection and Sign-Off

We coordinate the required electrical inspection and make sure everything passes before the project is considered complete.

Frequently asked

Common Questions About Panel Upgrades

Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.

Q1

How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade?

Signs include frequently tripping breakers, a panel that feels warm to the touch, flickering lights, or a fuse box that hasn't been updated in decades. If you're adding an EV charger or generator, your current panel may not have enough capacity.

Q2

What size panel do most homes need?

Most older homes were built with 100-amp service. Today's homes with electric vehicles, home offices, and modern appliances typically need 200-amp service. We assess your specific load before recommending anything.

Q3

Is a permit required for a panel upgrade in Wisconsin?

Yes. Panel upgrades require a permit and inspection in Wisconsin. Brey Electric handles the permit process as part of the job so you don't have to manage that on your own.

Q4

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most residential panel upgrades take one day. Larger projects or those requiring utility coordination may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline before we start.

Q5

Can I add an EV charger after a panel upgrade?

Yes, and we often plan for it from the start. If you're considering a Level 2 EV charger for a Tesla or another vehicle, we can size the new panel to accommodate it during the same project.

Q6

Do you upgrade panels for commercial properties?

We do. Brey Electric handles both residential and commercial panel upgrades across Northeast Wisconsin, including Appleton, Oshkosh, Green Bay, and surrounding areas.

Q7

Will my power be out during the upgrade?

There will be a period of downtime while the panel is being replaced and circuits are transferred. We work to complete the job efficiently and let you know what to expect ahead of time.

Q8

Does a panel upgrade affect my homeowner's insurance?

Some insurance providers lower rates or require updates when older panels are replaced. It's worth checking with your insurer. Having a code-compliant, inspected panel is generally a positive for coverage.
