Electrical Panel Upgrade Las Vegas NV: Licensed Master Electrician

If your breakers trip constantly, your panel feels warm to the touch, or you can't add a new circuit without overloading the system, your electrical panel is telling you something. Larry's Lights performs electrical panel upgrades throughout Las Vegas, replacing outdated 100-amp panels with modern 200-amp service that handles today's power demands. We work with NV Energy, pull the required Clark County permits, and handle the full upgrade from scheduling the utility disconnect to passing the final inspection. An upgraded panel gives you capacity for EV chargers, hot tubs, home additions, and smart home systems, plus the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home's electrical backbone is safe and up to code.

Our Panel Upgrade Process

01

Assessment & Permit Application

We inspect your current panel, service entrance, and load requirements. We then apply for the Clark County electrical permit and coordinate the utility disconnect window with NV Energy, usually scheduled 1-2 weeks out.

02

Utility Disconnect & Panel Removal

On installation day, NV Energy disconnects power at the meter. We safely remove the old panel, inspect the service entrance wires, and prepare the mounting location for the new panel.

03

New Panel Installation & Wiring

We install your new 200-amp main breaker panel, transfer all circuits, label every breaker clearly, and install AFCI/GFCI breakers where code requires. Work is neat, organized, and built to last.

04

Inspection & Power Restoration

We schedule the city inspection and meet the inspector. Once the panel passes, NV Energy reconnects power. We test every circuit before leaving and answer every question you have about your new system.

Panel Upgrade FAQ, Las Vegas

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Las Vegas?

A 200-amp panel upgrade in Las Vegas typically costs $1,500-$3,000 including labor, materials, permit, and inspection. Older homes with service entrance issues or homes requiring a sub-panel may run higher. Homes that only need a larger panel (same service size, more circuits) are often $1,200-$1,800. We provide a written quote after the on-site assessment, you approve the price before any work starts.

How long does an electrical panel upgrade take?

Most panel upgrades take 6-8 hours from the time NV Energy disconnects power to the time power is restored. You will be without power for most of that day. We schedule early-morning starts to minimize downtime. From initial quote to completed inspection, the total timeline is typically 2-3 weeks, primarily waiting for the permit and utility scheduling.

Is my Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel dangerous?

Yes, these panels have documented failure rates and are considered fire hazards by most electrical engineers and insurance companies. Federal Pacific Stab-Lok breakers are known to fail to trip under overload conditions. Many insurance companies now refuse to insure homes with these panels. Larry's Lights strongly recommends replacing them. We can assess yours and provide a replacement quote at no charge.
