If your panel is a Federal Pacific or Zinsco (recalled brands), if you trip breakers regularly, or before installing an EV charger, hot tub, or new HVAC.

Related questions

Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?

Often yes. A 50A circuit for a Level 2 charger is hard to fit on a 100A panel running modern HVAC + appliances. Upgrade first, charge second.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

4–8 hours of work, but you'll lose power for 2–4 hours during the swap. Schedule a weekday morning.
