How Electrical Panel Upgrades Works in Carlsbad

1

Load Assessment + Proposal

We evaluate your current panel, calculate your home's electrical load, and determine the right panel size. You receive a written proposal with itemized pricing before any work is scheduled.

2

Permit Filing + SDG&E Coordination

We file with the City of Carlsbad Building Division and coordinate with SDG&E for the required service interruption and reconnection. Carlsbad residential panel permits are typically approved quickly for straightforward replacements.

3

Installation Day

SDG&E disconnects service for the scheduled window. We remove the old panel, install the new one, transfer all circuits, label every breaker, and test the system before SDG&E reconnects. Most Carlsbad panel upgrades are completed in one day.

4

Final Inspection

The City of Carlsbad inspector verifies the installation meets current NEC/CEC code. We attend and address any corrections on the spot. After sign-off, you receive the completed permit documentation.
