Modernize your home’s electrical backbone with a panel upgrade from Arcline Electric. From 100-amp to 400-amp systems, we handle every aspect: permits, installation, and inspection.
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s power system. Every circuit in your house originates at this single point of distribution, and when the panel can’t keep up with demand, the consequences range from nuisance tripping to genuine fire hazards. If you’re living with a panel that was installed before 2000, there’s a strong chance it wasn’t engineered to support the electrical loads that modern households require: EV chargers pulling 40 to 50 amps, heat pump systems, dual home offices, high-draw kitchen appliances, and smart home ecosystems with dozens of connected devices.
An undersized or aging panel doesn’t just limit what you can plug in. It creates real safety risks that compound over time. Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok panels, Zinsco panels, and several other brands installed throughout the Seattle metro from the 1950s through the 1980s have been identified as serious fire hazards due to breakers that fail to trip under overload conditions. These panels are still found in thousands of Puget Sound homes.
Recalled brands like Federal Pacific and Zinsco have breakers that fail to trip, creating serious fire hazards behind the dead front of your panel.
Today's homes need 200A+ service. EV chargers, heat pumps, and kitchen appliances all demand capacity that older panels simply can't deliver.

"We needed a full panel upgrade from 100A to 200A and Arcline made the whole process seamless. They pulled the permits, coordinated the inspection, and finished a day early. The crew was professional and left our garage cleaner than they found it. Highly recommend."

"Our home had an old Federal Pacific panel that our insurance company flagged. Arcline replaced it with a new 200-amp Square D panel, added whole-home surge protection, and handled all the paperwork with our insurer. Clean work, fair price, and they explained everything."
