Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade in my Gunter home?
The clearest signs are breakers that trip frequently, a panel that feels warm to the touch, a fuse box instead of breakers, or simply running out of circuit space. If you're adding an EV charger, hot tub, or major appliance and your electrician says there's no room, that's the answer. We'll assess your panel at no charge during any service call.
What does a panel upgrade cost in Gunter, TX?
Panel upgrades in the Gunter area typically range from $1,800 to $4,500 depending on the current panel size, the upgrade target (usually 200 amps), accessibility, and whether a utility meter pull is required. We give you an exact price before any work starts — no surprises.
Do I need a permit to upgrade my electrical panel in Gunter?
Yes. Panel upgrades require a permit through City of Gunter. We pull the permit, coordinate with the utility for the meter pull when required, and schedule the inspection. You don't manage any of that.
How long does a panel upgrade take in Gunter?
Most panel upgrades are completed in one day. We'll confirm the timeline when we assess the job. Power is off for several hours during the swap — we coordinate with you on timing and let you know exactly what to expect.
Will upgrading my panel increase my home's value in Gunter?
Yes, meaningfully. An outdated or undersized panel is a red flag on inspection reports and can complicate home sales in the Gunter market. A modern 200-amp panel removes that issue, passes inspection cleanly, and is a strong selling point for buyers who want to add EV chargers or other modern circuits.
