200-Amp Panel Upgrades for Rockwall Homes & Businesses

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. An outdated or undersized panel can cause tripped breakers, limit your ability to add circuits, and — in the worst cases — create a serious fire hazard. Paramount Electric installs modern 200-amp electrical panels for homes and businesses throughout Rockwall, TX.

We handle every aspect of your panel upgrade: pulling permits, coordinating with Oncor for service disconnects and reconnects, scheduling inspections, and ensuring your new panel meets current NEC code requirements. Most residential panel upgrades are completed in a single day.

Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade

  • Your home still has a fuse box or outdated Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel
  • Your panel is smaller than 200 amps and you’re adding an EV charger or generator
  • Circuit breakers trip frequently and aren’t related to overloaded circuits
  • You’re planning a major home addition or kitchen/bathroom remodel
  • Your panel has double-tapped breakers (two wires on one breaker)
  • Insurance company has flagged your panel as uninsurable
  • You want to add solar panels and need a compatible modern panel
  • Lights dim significantly when large appliances (HVAC, dryer) cycle on
What We Do

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a 200-amp panel upgrade take?
+
Most residential 200-amp panel upgrades are completed in a single day. This includes pulling permits, the Oncor disconnect/reconnect (coordinated in advance), panel installation, circuit transfer, labeling, and inspection scheduling.
Do I need a permit for an electrical panel upgrade in Rockwall?
+
Yes. Panel upgrades require a permit in Rockwall and must pass city or county inspection. Paramount Electric handles all permitting and inspection coordination on your behalf.
What does a 200-amp panel upgrade cost in Rockwall, TX?
+
Panel upgrade costs vary based on the condition of your existing service entrance, whether ground rods need to be replaced, and the specific panel selected. Call (972) 482-4983 for a free, on-site estimate.
Do I need a panel upgrade to install an EV charger?
+
Not always, but it depends on your current panel capacity. Many homes with 100-amp service will need to upgrade to 200 amps before installing a Level 2 EV charger. We assess your current load and advise accordingly.
