Panel Upgrades for Whittier homes
Whittier is our home base, and panel upgrades are the job we are called for most here. The older parts of town, including Old Whittier and Friendly Hills, have craftsman and ranch homes from the 1920s to the 1950s where the original 60 amp or 100 amp service is far below what a house with central air, an induction range or an EV charger needs.
Because we pull permits with the Whittier Building & Safety department regularly, we know what the inspector expects to see: a correctly sized service, a properly bonded and grounded panel, labeled circuits and clear working space. We replace the panel, set up the service, and schedule the city inspection for you.
What we see in Whittier
- Pre-1940 homes can still contain knob-and-tube wiring. We check what is behind the old panel before we quote, because it changes the scope.
- Hillside lots in East Whittier often have a detached garage. A sub-panel feeder is usually part of the plan.
- If the home has a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, replacement is the recommended path rather than repair.
Permit and utility
Permits are issued by the City of Whittier Building & Safety. We pull and manage the permit and the inspection.

Questions about panel upgrades in Whittier
Do I need a panel upgrade to add an EV charger in Whittier?
Not always. It depends on the load your panel can carry. We calculate it during the visit and tell you whether a new circuit is enough or whether the panel itself needs to be upgraded.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Typically one to two days of work on site, plus the utility and inspection steps. The written quote lists the scope and the expected schedule.
