Panel Upgrades Are a Core Part of Successful Home Remodels
Any home remodel that involves new appliances, expanded square footage, or upgraded systems usually adds to the electrical load. Without the right panel in place, even the most well-planned renovations can result in overloaded circuits or failed inspections. Licensed Auburn electricians help prevent these problems by upgrading panels early in the remodeling process, ensuring that each system meets code and supports long-term performance.
We work closely with homeowners and remodelers to prepare electrical systems for new demands. Our goal is to provide panels that safely distribute power, meet inspection requirements, and support a smooth construction timeline without setbacks.
When Remodeling Requires a Panel Upgrade
Most remodeling projects add features that require more power—modern lighting, smart systems, electric ranges, HVAC upgrades, or even additional rooms. In many homes, the existing panel lacks the capacity to support these changes. Older panels may also be out of code or missing safety protections that are now required under Washington regulations.
A panel upgrade during remodeling helps you avoid problems later in the process. We identify capacity issues during the planning stage, explain what’s needed to bring your system up to code, and install panels that support both new and future electrical needs.
Meeting Electrical Code With Confidence
Remodels in Auburn must comply with current electrical codes and permitting rules. This includes having the correct panel size, proper grounding, sufficient spacing, and safe breaker configurations. Panels that no longer meet code must be replaced or upgraded before the remodel can move forward.
Our team installs new panels that are fully compliant and built with clean, labeled circuits. We coordinate with inspectors, follow city requirements precisely, and ensure the upgraded panel is ready for use before appliances or new fixtures are connected.
Planning Prevents Delays and Costly Rework
Upgrading the panel at the right phase of the remodel helps keep the project on schedule. We time our work so that it fits naturally between demolition and finish work, which allows other trades to move forward without conflict.
Our approach also prevents scenarios where walls need to be reopened or electrical devices relocated due to inadequate planning. We make sure the electrical backbone of your remodel is built to last, with enough capacity for additional features down the road.
Custom Load Calculations for Every Home
Rather than guessing or applying general rules, we perform load calculations based on your home’s actual appliances, layout, and expected energy use. This helps us determine whether you need a panel upgrade, a new subpanel, or simply a few added circuits.
We also consider upcoming needs like EV chargers, hot tubs, or additional HVAC systems so that the system we install is ready to support your home’s evolution. Every design recommendation we make is grounded in real-world electrical usage and safety requirements.
Installations That Look as Good as They Perform
Panel upgrades should improve not only safety and performance but also the organization and appearance of your system. Our electricians route wiring carefully, label each circuit, and mount panels securely for long-term access and service.
The result is a clean, finished installation that reflects the quality of the remodel itself. We believe that what’s behind the wall should match the professionalism seen throughout the rest of your project.

We provide panel upgrades for every kind of remodel, from focused kitchen or bathroom projects to full-home renovations. Whether your project requires a complete panel replacement or just added space for new circuits, our electricians complete the work to code with minimal disruption.
