Do I need a permit to upgrade my electrical panel?

A panel or service upgrade typically requires a permit, and Lights Out pulls the permit when the job calls for one. The work is done to current electrical code and coordinated with the utility and inspection steps so your upgrade passes the first time.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

What are the signs my breaker box needs replacing?
