The panel is the heart of your home's electrical system, and many Triangle homes are still running on one that is undersized, obsolete or weathered. Progressive replaces indoor and outdoor panels and upgrades services, permit and inspection included.

Signs your panel needs replacing
- Breakers that trip regularly, or a panel with no free spaces.
- A 100-amp or smaller service in a house adding an EV charger, a heat pump, a tankless water heater or an addition.
- Brands with documented failure histories, such as Federal Pacific and Zinsco, or fuse boxes.
- Rust, scorch marks, buzzing, warm breakers, or hot spots found by infrared imaging.
- An outdoor panel with a corroded or weather-damaged enclosure.
Indoor and outdoor panels
Many homes in the Triangle have the main panel outdoors beside the meter, where heat, humidity and storms age it faster than an indoor panel. We replace outdoor panels and meter bases with weather-rated equipment, and indoor panels, sub-panels and garage panels inside, coordinating the utility disconnect and reconnect so you are without power for hours rather than a day.
What a replacement includes
- Assessment and load calculation for the loads you have and the ones you are planning.
- Permit and utility coordination.
- New panel and breakers, grounding and bonding brought to current code, whole-home surge protection if you want it, and service upgrade to 200 amps where needed.
- County inspection and a labelled panel schedule.
Every panel replacement comes with flat-rate pricing quoted before the work and Progressive's 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Should I upgrade to 200 amps?
If you are adding an EV charger, heat pump or electric appliances, usually yes. It costs little more than a like-for-like replacement and prevents doing the job twice.
How long is the power off?
Typically a few hours for a panel replacement once the utility disconnects. We schedule it to minimize disruption.
Do you replace Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels?
Yes, and we recommend it. These panels have well-documented breaker failure problems.

Joe Oliveira stopped by my home, took time to understand the problem that I was having with the unit, went back and discussed the issue with his team of experts and had a detailed work order sent to me with in a day. … Based on the experience that I have had with Progressive Plumbing, Heating & Air, Electrical, I will HIGHLY recommend them for HVAC install and maintenance.
