Electrical Panel Upgrades in Fort Worth
Your electrical panel is the backbone of your home’s entire electrical system. When it starts showing signs of failure, or when it simply can’t keep up with modern demands, the risk to your home and family grows every day you wait. At Petree Electrical, we replace outdated, unsafe, and undersized panels with code-compliant 200-amp service upgrades, and inspected from start to finish.
What a Panel Upgrade Actually Does for Your Home
A modern, properly sized electrical panel does more than just keep your lights on. It gives your home the capacity to safely power the way you actually live today, from high-demand appliances and home automation systems to EV chargers and everything in between. It also removes the safety liability that comes with an aging or recalled panel, which matters for your family, your homeowner’s insurance, and the long-term value of your property.
For many homeowners across North Fort Worth, a panel upgrade is the single most impactful electrical improvement they can make. It’s not just a repair. It’s the foundation that makes every other upgrade possible and every day in your home safer.

FAQ
How do I know if my panel needs to be replaced?
The most common signs are frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, a panel that feels warm to the touch, burning smells near your electrical box, or a home inspector flagging your current panel. That said, some panels show no obvious symptoms at all. If your home is older or you’re unsure what brand your panel is, a free assessment from a licensed electrician is the most reliable way to know where you stand.
How much does a panel upgrade cost?
Every home is different, which is why we provide free on-site estimates rather than quoting a flat number online. The cost depends on your current panel, your home’s electrical load, and whether any additional work is needed. What we can promise is that our pricing is honest, transparent, and explained in full before any work begins.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most panel replacements are completed in a single day. If additional work is required, we’ll give you a clear timeline upfront so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
Will my power be off during the installation?
Yes, your power will need to be disconnected during the replacement. We coordinate with Oncor to schedule the disconnection and reconnection and work as efficiently as possible to minimize the time your home is without power.
Do I need a panel upgrade before installing an EV charger or adding new appliances?
Not always, but it depends on your current panel’s capacity. If your panel is already running close to its limit, adding a high-demand load like an EV charger or large appliance could create a safety issue. We assess this during our estimate visit and let you know exactly what your system can and can’t support.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover a panel upgrade?
In most cases, homeowner’s insurance does not cover the cost of a panel upgrade unless it was directly caused by a covered event like a fire or storm. However, many insurance providers require panel replacement as a condition of continued coverage for recalled brands like Zinsco and Federal Pacific. If your insurer has flagged your panel, a replacement is typically the only path forward to maintaining your policy.
