What Our Customers Say
Modernize Your Cleveland Home with Professional Electrical Panel Upgrades
An electrical panel upgrade is one of the most impactful improvements you can make to a Northeast Ohio property. HEP’s certified electricians replace aging breaker boxes with modern, code-compliant service panels that deliver the capacity, safety, and reliability today’s devices demand.
What an Electrical Panel Upgrade Involves
- Removing the existing fuse box or undersized breaker panel
- Installing a new main service panel rated for higher amperage (typically 150–200 A)
- Re-routing and labeling branch circuits for clarity and balance
- Integrating whole-home surge protection and AFCI/GFCI breakers
- Verifying grounding and bonding to satisfy Ohio Electrical Code requirements
Why Cleveland Properties Need Panel Upgrades
Growing Power Demands
Smart appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, and home offices all draw more current than panels installed just 20 years ago were designed to carry.
Safety Concerns
Outdated or overloaded panels can overheat, arc, and create fire hazards. Upgrading reduces these risks and improves overall system stability.
Real Estate Value
Homes that advertise “new electrical panel” consistently attract buyers and simplify the inspection process.
Signs Your Breaker Box Is Due for Replacement
- Frequent breaker trips or fuses that blow under normal loads
- Warm, buzzing, or discolored panel surfaces
- Lack of open breaker spaces for new circuits
- Visible corrosion, rust, or moisture inside the cabinet
- Aluminum branch wiring connected to old-style breakers

Service is temporarily disconnected, lock-out/tag-out protocols are applied, and surge protection for sensitive electronics is set.
4. Precise Installation

5. Inspection & Re-Energizing
City inspectors confirm code compliance; power is restored and circuits are tested under load.

Selecting the Right Panel Size
Key Factors HEP Evaluates
