Why Upgrade or Install a New Electrical Panel?

An outdated or faulty electrical panel can pose significant safety risks and lead to inefficient power distribution. Here are some reasons to consider main panel updates or installing a new panel:

  • Safety: Old panels can overheat, leading to potential fire hazards. A new panel reduces this risk significantly.
  • Increased Power Demand: Modern homes and businesses have higher power demands due to numerous electrical devices and appliances. A new panel can handle these demands effectively.
  • Prevent Electrical Issues: Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, and power outages are signs that your panel may need an upgrade.
  • Property Value: An upgraded electrical system can enhance your San Jose property’s value and appeal to potential buyers.

Challenger Panels

Challenger electrical panels, installed from the 1970s to 1990s, are known for serious safety issues, including breaker malfunctions and overheating, both major fire risks. They lack modern safety features and are no longer supported with replacement parts. Many insurance companies won’t cover homes with these panels. Upgrading to a modern electrical panel ensures safety, code compliance, and reliability for your home’s power needs. Don’t wait, replace your Challenger panel today.

Pushmatic/Bulldog electrical panels

Pushmatic/Bulldog electrical panels, used from the 1930s to 1980s, are outdated and pose safety risks due to aging parts, stiff breakers, and lack of modern safety features. These panels may fail to trip during overloads, increasing fire risk. With no replacement parts available, repairs are difficult and costly. Upgrading to a modern panel ensures safety, code compliance, and reliability, protecting your home and meeting today’s electrical demands.

Federal Pacific breakers

Federal Pacific breakers, commonly installed from the 1950s to 1980s, are known to pose serious fire hazards due to their frequent failure to trip during overloads or short circuits. Hidden internal defects and outdated safety standards make them unreliable. Many insurance providers won’t cover homes with these panels. Replacing them with modern, code-compliant breakers is crucial for protecting your home, ensuring safety, and maintaining insurance eligibility. Don’t delay an upgrade.

Zinsco panels

Zinsco electrical panels, used until the mid-1970s, are known for serious safety issues including breakers failing to trip and internal parts melting due to poor design and outdated standards. These hidden faults can lead to electrical fires or shocks. Even if they appear functional, Zinsco panels pose significant risks. If your home has one, it's crucial to have it inspected and upgraded by a licensed electrician to ensure your family's safety.

I found CA Electrical Group through Angi when I was looking for an electrician to install a car charging station in my garage. They reached out the same day and I was able to schedule a free estimate the following day.

This is our first time using California Electrical Group. Customer service representatives, Joshua, Irene, Jenna and technician Jacob were all professionals, knowledgeable and prompt. We are grateful for having an exceptional experience with Jacob.

CA Electric did a great job! Called the company and easily got an appointment for an estimate. Israel was the first person I worked with on site. He arrived on time and quickly found a much better and less expensive location for the outlet and charger than I expected. CA Electric was by far the least expensive of three quotes.

We needed some outlets repaired. CA Electrical group did a fantastic job. They came out and accessed what was needed. Two days later the job was done. Afterwards, they sent someone to patch up the holes. I'm very pleased with the work that they did.

Jacob was great - showed up promptly (actually early), went out of his way to accommodate an emergency appointment, highly knowledgeable and a clear communicator. I had a convoluted issue that PG&E was actually the root of and he quickly figured it out and gave me a path to resolving it, which is never easy. Could not recommend more highly. Fair and transparent pricing.

It was a pleasure doing business with CA Electrical Group 24/7. They were prompt in their service, with a technician arriving within 30 minutes of my initial call. This was well within the hour window that was communicated through the confirmation link for my appointment.

On time arrival. Walked me through the assessment process and fixed the issue during the initial assessment with a breaker reset. Didn't have to pay for it this way. 10/10 would recommend

Five stars, again! I recently reached out to CA Electrical for an EV charger install. Jacob came by, explained all the options clearly, and really took the time to walk me through everything. He even teamed up with Omri to come up with ideas that kept costs down without sacrificing quality. This is actually the third time I've used CA Electrical--and every time, they've delivered great work and stood behind it. Super reliable and professional. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

Reached out for electrical work in the backyard, to have outlets installed by pulling the wires from the lights on the walls. Jacob mentioned work can be done but it could be messy for what we are trying to achieve. Instead he advised me to contact a different source for better solution with out the outlets. If that doesn't work will reach out to Jacob.​

They helped us add a subpanel so that we can add our Tesla charger. We compared multiple quotes and they had very reasonable cost. They came out quickly for a survey and then completed the work very efficiently!

The installation of new track lighting in my gallery space was complicated due to the high ceilings. The crew used proper equipment and the job looks fantastic. The final transaction matched the estimate exactly.

My dryer circuit failed abruptly. The technician performed a quick diagnostic and replaced the burnt wiring and terminal block. The rapid repair service prevented me from having to replace the entire appliance. Quick and effective results.

I needed a last-minute electrical evaluation done before closing on a house. They fit me into their busy schedule. The report was honest and detailed, outlining the immediate repairs needed versus long-term maintenance. Invaluable professional service.

We had a full home surge protector installation. The team provided a clear valuation of the risk and the cost of the equipment. The transaction was smooth, and I appreciate the added layer of recovery protection for my sensitive electronics.
