Electrical Panel
Replacement & Upgrades
Professional 200-amp electrical service upgrades and hazardous circuit breaker removals engineered for homeowners across Ocean and Monmouth Counties.
The Backbone of Your Home's Power
An obsolete electrical panel is more than just a technical bottleneck—it is a documented liability for your home’s safety and insurance standing. At Bixler Electric Inc, we specialize in electrical panel replacement for families dealing with flickering lights, circuit breakers that feel hot to the touch, or the inherent risks of legacy equipment that simply wasn't built for today's high-power appliances.
If your house is still running on a 60-amp or 100-amp electrical service, your system is likely working overtime. We provide 200 amp service upgrade solutions that give your home the amps it needs to breathe. This expansion creates the necessary headroom for EV charger installation, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and modern kitchen renovations without constantly tripping circuit breakers.
Addressing Hazardous Legacy Panels
If your home has a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, we treat your project as a safety priority. These specific brands are notorious for failing to trip during an overload, which can lead to wires melting inside your walls. As licensed electricians, we provide certified electrical panel repair and full replacements with modern, reliable breaker centers to restore your home's safety.
Future-Proofing Your Energy Use
An electrical panel upgrade is the best time to prepare for the future. We calculate your home's total load to ensure you have the capacity needed for Tesla Wall Connector installation or solar integration. Managing these high-draw circuits requires technical precision to prevent overloading your new electrical service, ensuring everything we install is 100% code-compliant.
Utility Coordination & Safety Audits
Our team handles the logistics so you don't have to. We coordinate directly with the local utility companies for service disconnects and meter modernization. Every project includes a residential safety audit and whole-home surge protection to shield your electronics from grid spikes. Whether you are in Toms River, Brick, or Bayville, we ensure your home remains powered and protected through every storm.

Electrical Panel Replacement FAQ
Are Federal Pacific Electrical Panels a Safety Risk?
Yes. These specific circuit breakers are a documented fire hazard. They frequently fail to trip during a short circuit, which leads to wires overheating. We prioritize these for immediate replacement.
Do I Need to Upgrade to 200 Amps?
A 200-amp electrical service provides double the capacity of an older 100-amp panel. This is essential for safely running modern high-demand items like EV chargers and central air without constant tripping.
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost?
The cost of a professional upgrade typically depends on the home's size and utility requirements. We coordinate with the utility for a same-day disconnect and reconnect so your home remains functional during the installation.
How long does a panel replacement take?
A professional electrical panel upgrade typically takes one full day. We coordinate with the utility for a same-day disconnect and reconnect so your home remains functional and your food stays cold.
