Electrical Panel Upgrade and Replacement in Long Beach, CA
Your electrical panel sets the limit on everything else in the building. If yours is full, outdated or only rated for 100 amps, adding an EV charger, air conditioning or an induction range can push it past what it was built for. An electrical panel upgrade in Long Beach gives you the capacity and the breaker protection modern loads need.

EV charging, ADUs, central air added to older homes and all-electric remodels are driving panel upgrades across the Los Angeles area. In Long Beach, the main question is usually capacity: whether the existing service can carry the new load or needs to move to 200 amps.

Electrical Panel Upgrade pricing in Long Beach, CA
Electrical panel upgrade cost in Long Beach depends on the amperage, whether the service is overhead or underground, where the meter sits, and what the utility and building department require. A like-for-like panel swap is at the low end; relocating the service or upgrading 100 amp to 200 amp with new grounding costs more. We inspect the existing setup and give you a written, itemized price.

Long Beach electrical panel upgrade FAQs
Do I need 200 amps?
If you plan to add an EV charger, electric heat pump, induction range or solar, usually yes. We run a load calculation on your property so the decision is based on numbers, not a sales pitch.
Is a permit required for a panel upgrade in Long Beach?
Yes. Panel and service upgrades require a permit and inspection, and the utility has to approve the reconnection. We handle all of it.
My panel is an older brand people warn about. Should I replace it?
Some older panel designs have breakers that can fail to trip. If yours is one of them, or shows heat damage, replacement is the safe choice. We'll open it and show you what we find.
Can you add a subpanel instead?
If the main service has spare capacity but no spare slots, a subpanel is often the cheaper answer. If the service itself is undersized, a subpanel will not help. See dedicated circuits and EV charger installation for common reasons to upgrade.
What customers say
Our old 100 amp panel tripped every time the AC and dryer ran together. Bayshore quoted the 200 amp upgrade on the spot, handled the permit and had us back on by late afternoon.
After a surge took out our garage door opener and a TV, they installed a whole house protector at the panel. Quick job, clear price, no upsell.
Half the house went dark at 9 pm and an outlet smelled hot. They talked me through shutting off the breaker and had someone at the door that night. He fixed a burned connection and checked the rest of the circuit.
