Service Panel Replacement process 

During a panel replacement, a licensed electrician will carefully remove the old panel and install a new panel that meets the electrical demands and safety requirements of the property. The process may involve several steps, including:

Electrical Assessment: The electrician will assess the electrical needs of the property and determine the appropriate size and capacity for the new panel. This involves considering the number of circuits required, the total electrical load, and any future electrical needs.

Disconnecting Power: Before starting the replacement, the electrician will disconnect the power supply to the existing panel to ensure safety during the work.

Removing the Old Panel: The old panel will be carefully removed, disconnecting all the circuits and wires.

Installing the New Panel: The new panel, usually a modern circuit breaker panel, will be installed in place of the old one. The electrician will connect all the circuits and wires to the new panel.

Labeling Circuits: The electrician will label each circuit in the new panel to identify which breaker controls which part of the electrical system in the property. Proper labeling is essential for future maintenance and troubleshooting.

Inspections: After the installation, the electrician may perform safety inspections to ensure the panel replacement meets electrical code requirements and is functioning correctly.
