Electrical Panel Upgrades & Rewiring
Genius Electric Corp upgrades electrical panels and service entrances across Lancaster, Palmdale, and the High Desert. Whether your breakers keep tripping, your panel is a known-bad brand, or you're adding an EV charger and AC, Edgar sizes the upgrade to your real needs, does it cleanly, and labels every circuit before he leaves.
More power, done safely and to code
If your breakers trip whenever the AC and microwave run together, your panel is a decades-old fuse box, or you're a known-problem brand like Federal Pacific or Zinsco, it's time for an upgrade. Genius Electric Corp upgrades panels and service entrances to 100A, 200A, and 400A throughout the Antelope Valley and across the High Desert from Los Angeles to Barstow and down toward the Inland Empire. Edgar does this work himself and treats your home like it's his own.
A panel upgrade isn't just swapping a box — it's the heart of your home's electrical safety. Edgar takes the time to explain what's failing, what your home actually needs now and for the next decade, and what the code requires. You'll understand the why behind every recommendation, and you'll get a fair price with no scare tactics.
Panel and rewiring work Edgar handles
From a single tired panel to a full service upgrade, here's what's covered:
- Main panel upgrades and replacements to 100A, 200A, or 400A service, sized to your home's real load
- Replacement of unsafe or recalled panels (Federal Pacific, Zinsco, cluttered fuse boxes) with modern breaker panels
- Service entrance, meter base, and mast upgrades coordinated with the utility
- Whole-home and partial rewiring to replace old, brittle, or unsafe wiring (including cloth and aluminum branch concerns)
- Adding capacity for EV chargers, heat pumps, AC, and other big new loads without overloading the system
- Clean, clearly labeled breakers and a mapped panel so you always know what controls what
You end up with a safe, quiet, properly labeled panel that has room to grow — and you'll actually understand what changed.

- 03
Upgrade with minimal downtime
Edgar coordinates any needed utility shutoff, swaps the panel or service cleanly, and keeps your power interruption as short as possible.

Electrical Panel Upgrades & Rewiring Questions
Straight answers about electrical panel upgrades & rewiring — and how Edgar approaches it.
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
Common signs are frequent tripped breakers, a fuse box, flickering lights, warm or buzzing panels, or not enough capacity to add an EV charger or new AC. Edgar will inspect it and tell you honestly whether you truly need an upgrade or just a repair — he won't oversell you.
Should I go with 200A or 400A service?
Most homes are well served by 200A, but larger homes, ADUs, EV charging plus solar, or shops may justify 400A. Edgar sizes it to your actual and planned loads and explains the tradeoffs so you're not paying for capacity you'll never use.
Do panel upgrades need a permit and inspection?
Yes — panel and service upgrades require a permit and inspection, and Edgar does the work to code so it passes. He handles the permitting details and coordinates the utility shutoff and reconnect for you.
How long will my power be off?
For most standard panel swaps, power is only off for a portion of the day while the work is done. Edgar plans it to minimize your downtime, and because Genius Electric is a 24-hour company, he can often schedule around your needs.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. Edgar gives free, upfront estimates with fair pricing — the same honest approach his customers mention in their reviews. You'll know the cost before any work begins.
