⚠ Outdated Electrical Panel?

Old panels can’t keep up with today’s energy demands—risking flickering lights, tripped breakers, and even house fires.

🔥 Smell Burning or Hear Buzzing from Your Panel?

That’s a warning sign your system is overheating or failing. Delaying repairs could put your home at serious risk.

💡 Adding New Appliances But Losing Power?

If your panel isn’t built to handle modern loads, you're inviting electrical failure every time you plug something in.

TULSA, OKLAHOMA RESIDENTS Safe, Reliable, and Code-Compliant Electrical Panel Replacements

Your electrical panel is the backbone of your home or business’s electrical system. It distributes electricity from the utility company to different circuits throughout your property, powering everything from lights and appliances to heating and cooling systems. A properly functioning panel regulates electricity flow, prevents overloads, and ensures electrical safety.

Over time, electrical panels can become outdated, overloaded, or unsafe. If your home was built decades ago or you’ve recently added high-power appliances, your panel may no longer be sufficient. An electrical panel upgrade ensures your system can handle modern energy demands safely and efficiently.
​
At TL Davis Electric & Design, we provide professional electrical panel upgrades for homeowners and businesses in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Claremore, Owasso, and surrounding areas. Whether your panel is outdated, damaged, or simply not powerful enough, our licensed electricians will install a modern, code-compliant system to meet your needs.

Fuse Box to Breaker Panel Upgrades

If your home still has a fuse box, it’s time for an upgrade. Fuse boxes were common decades ago, but they aren’t designed for modern energy demands and pose fire and safety risks.

💡 Why upgrade from a fuse box to a breaker panel?

✔ Breakers are safer than fuses – No more replacing blown fuses! Breakers trip automatically in case of overload.
✔ Supports modern appliances – Fuse boxes can’t handle the power needs of today’s homes.
✔ Lowers insurance costs – Some home insurance companies charge higher rates for homes with fuse boxes.

Electrical Panel Replacement – Questions I Hear All the Time

Click to View All Electrical Panel FAQs

1. How do I know if I even need a panel upgrade?

If your breakers are tripping a lot, lights flicker, or your panel feels hot to the touch—yep, it’s time.

2. What does a panel actually do?

It’s your electrical system’s control center. It takes power from the utility and safely sends it where it’s needed across your home or building.

3. My panel’s old but it still works. Why replace it?

Old panels weren’t built for today’s tech—EV chargers, smart homes, or even a big AC unit. You're living on borrowed time.

4. What’s the difference between a fuse box and breaker panel?

Fuses blow and need replacing. Breakers trip and reset. Breakers are safer, easier, and cheaper long-term.

5. Can a bad panel cause a fire?

Yes. Loose connections, overloaded circuits, or outdated breakers can overheat and spark fires. It’s no joke.

6. How long does a full panel replacement take?

Most of the time, we’re in and out in a day. Power’s off for 4–8 hours while we do the swap, then we coordinate inspection and utility reconnection.

7. Do I need a permit?

Absolutely. I pull the permit, handle inspections, and make sure the utility signs off. You don’t have to lift a finger.

8. What size panel should I upgrade to?

Most homes today need 200 amps. If you’ve got an EV charger, hot tub, or shop equipment, we might go higher.

9. Is it messy?

Nah. I treat your place like my own—tarp, sweep, vacuum, and leave it cleaner than I found it.

10. Can I add more outlets or circuits during the upgrade?

Definitely. If you’re tired of running extension cords, we’ll add circuits where you need ‘em.

11. What are signs my panel’s overheating?

Burn marks, buzzing, hot breakers, or a plastic smell are all red flags. Call me immediately if you see or smell any of that.

12. Can you install surge protection during a panel upgrade?

Yep—and I recommend it. Whole-home surge protection guards every appliance, not just your TV.

13. Will it increase my home’s value?

Absolutely. Buyers want modern systems. It’s a big selling point during home inspections.

14. What if my panel’s inside a cabinet or closet?

That’s probably not to code anymore. I’ll relocate it safely and make it accessible for inspectors and service down the road.

15. I’ve got aluminum wiring—can you still upgrade my panel?

Yes, but we have to use special connectors and anti-oxidant paste. I’ve done a ton of these safely.

16. What brands of panels do you install?

Square D, Eaton, and Siemens mostly—panels I trust and that pass inspection every time.

17. Will my power bill go down?

Not always directly—but better connections and safer wiring help appliances run efficiently.

18. Can I run a hot tub and an EV charger off the same panel?

Sure—if the panel is sized right. That’s why I calculate your load before quoting anything.

19. My panel has a Federal Pacific sticker—what’s the issue?

That’s a big red flag. Federal Pacific panels have a reputation for not tripping during overloads. Replace ASAP.

20. What’s the cost of an upgrade?

Depends on the setup, but I always walk you through options. No surprises, no junk work, just fair and clear pricing.

21. I’m a business owner. Can you upgrade my shop panel?

Absolutely. I do upgrades for offices, warehouses, retail shops—you name it. Commercial load calcs are my jam.

22. What’s involved in a commercial panel upgrade?

We inspect the service, calculate your demand, upgrade the panel, and bring everything up to commercial code. Clean and efficient.

23. Do commercial panels need surge protection too?

Yes—especially with computers, security systems, or refrigeration. I include that in most installs.

24. Can you do the work after business hours?

For sure. Nights, weekends—we’ll work around your hours to keep downtime to a minimum.

25. Can you fix a panel someone else messed up?

Sadly, I see this all the time. I’ll make it right, fix the wiring, and document it for your records or inspector.

26. Will this require shutting off all power?

Yes, but just for a few hours. I prep everything so the cutover is quick and smooth.

27. Do I get a warranty?

Yes—labor and parts. You’ll get the paperwork before I leave. If something’s off, I fix it. Period.

28. I live in Claremore. Do you service here?

Absolutely. I’m based here. I also cover Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bixby, and nearby towns.

29. What’s the inspection process like?

I handle all the permits, schedule the inspector, and make sure everything’s clean and code-compliant. You don’t deal with the city—I do.

30. How do I get started?
