Understanding whether your electric panel needs an upgrade or repair is often confusing once it stops working. Here are some signs you can look for to make an informed decision.
- Outdated Fuse Box: If your home or business still has a fuse box, it likely needs to be updated and no longer meets modern electrical standards.
- Consistent Electrical Issues: If you’re experiencing consistent electrical issues, such as flickering lights or power outages, it could be a sign of a faulty electrical panel.
- Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips: If your circuit breakers are frequently tripping, it could indicate that your panel is overloaded and needs an upgrade.
- Insufficient Power: If you’ve added new appliances or electrical devices to your property and are experiencing insufficient power, it could be a sign that your panel needs to be updated or undersized.
- Corrosion or Rust: It could be a sign of wear and tear if you notice corrosion or rust on your electrical panel.
- Burning Smells or Sparks: If you smell burning or see sparks coming from your panel, it’s a serious hazard and requires immediate attention.

Benefits of upgrading your electrical system using a sub-panel
Did you know upgrading your electrical system using a sub-panel is a more cost-effective and efficient solution providing additional power and flexibility? A sub-panel is a mini electrical panel connecting to your main electrical panel and distributing power to specific areas or circuits in your home or business. Here are some benefits of adding a sub-panel:
Additional Capacity: Adding a subpanel can provide additional capacity and prevent overloading. This can also allow you to add new appliances or electrical devices to your property without the risk of tripping circuit breakers or experiencing power outages.
Improved Safety: Subpanels can help improve the safety of your electrical system by reducing the risk of electrical hazards and fires. By isolating specific circuits, subpanels can prevent overloads and short circuits from affecting other areas of your property.
Increased Flexibility: With a sub-panel, you can have greater control over which circuits are powered and when. This can be especially useful when prioritizing certain areas or devices, such as during a power outage or emergency.
Cost-Effective: Upgrading your electrical system using a sub-panel can be more affordable than upgrading your entire electrical panel. This is because subpanels are smaller and require less installation wiring and labor.

Rancho Cordova Electrical Panel FAQ's
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Rancho Cordova?
Electrical panel upgrade costs in Rancho Cordova typically range from $1,500 to $4,000+ depending on the size of the upgrade, the age of your current panel, and whether additional wiring work is needed. As a SMUD-approved contractor, Gubrud’s can also help you identify rebates and incentives that may offset the cost. Contact us for a free estimate.
How long does an electrical panel replacement take?
Most electrical panel replacements in the Sacramento area take between 4 and 8 hours. During the process, your power will need to be shut off temporarily. Our licensed electricians work efficiently to minimize disruption and restore power to your home as quickly as possible.
Do I need a permit to replace my electrical panel in California?
Yes — electrical panel replacements in California require a permit and must pass inspection. Gubrud’s handles the permitting process for you, ensuring all work is done to code and that your panel passes the required inspections. This protects your home’s safety and your ability to sell the property in the future.
When should I upgrade from a 100-amp to a 200-amp electrical panel?
You should consider upgrading from 100-amp to 200-amp service if you’re adding major appliances (EV charger, HVAC, hot tub), doing a home addition, experiencing frequent breaker trips, or running solar. Most modern Sacramento-area homes need 200-amp service to safely handle today’s electrical demands.
What is a SPAN smart panel and is it worth it?
A SPAN smart panel is a modern electrical panel that lets you monitor and control your home’s energy usage circuit by circuit — right from your phone. If your home has solar or battery backup, SPAN integrates with those systems to optimize how and when you use power. Gubrud’s is an official SPAN installer in Rancho Cordova, and it’s a great option for homeowners looking to future-proof their electrical system.
