Insurer flagging your Gladstone panel? We swap it out

What a new panel does for your Gladstone home

Everything electrical in your Gladstone home runs through the panel, so an old or overloaded one is worth fixing first. We swap the panel and, where the home needs it, upgrade the service too. We pick the amperage to fit your house and your plans, often 200 amps.

Warning signs to watch for

• Lights that flicker: most noticeable when a large appliance kicks on.
• An old fuse box: modern breaker panels protect better.
• Odd sounds or smells: buzzing, crackling, or burning means call an electrician now.
• Visible damage: rust, corrosion, or burn marks.
• Frequent breaker trips: the panel is overloaded.

If your insurer flagged the panel

If your insurer asked you to replace an FPE or Zinsco panel on your Gladstone home, you are not alone. These older brands are a known fire risk. Not sure what you have? Look for the brand name on the panel door or label. If you see FPE, Federal Pacific, or Zinsco, tell us and we will confirm.

Our insurance panel upgrade page explains the process.

Plan the panel with the rest of the project

For your Gladstone home, adding an EV charger, solar, or a battery often starts with the panel. Older panels may not have the capacity, so we check yours during the free quote.

We are electricians who also install EV chargers, solar, and batteries, so nothing is handed off.

Three common jobs

Gladstone homes usually need one of three panel jobs.

Full panel replacement

We take out the old panel and install a new breaker panel that fits your home's loads.

Replacing a fuse box

If your home still runs on a fuse box, we replace it with a modern breaker panel that protects better against overloads and short circuits.

Service and capacity upgrade

Older homes often have 60 or 100 amp service. A larger service gives you headroom for an EV charger, solar, or a renovation in Gladstone.

How a Gladstone panel upgrade works

The path to a new panel in Gladstone is four steps: assessment, paperwork and permit, replacement, and turn-on.

1. Consultation and design: a free look at your existing panel and your plans.
2. Permitting and paperwork: the permit and paperwork are ours to file.
3. Installation: our electricians swap the panel and test every circuit.
4. Activation and support: we turn the power back on and support you afterward.

A panel replacement needs an Oregon permit, and we file it.
