Electrical Panel Upgrades in Burbank
Burbank sits in the inland valley portion of Los Angeles County where summer heat drives extended AC runtime and pushes older panels past their limits. Many homes in the area were built with 100A service, which was adequate for the appliances of that era but falls short once a modern central air system, electric water heater or Level 2 EV charger enters the picture. The year-round cooling demand in this part of the San Fernando Valley means electrical capacity is not a seasonal concern, it is a permanent one. Homeowners who are planning electrification upgrades or simply replacing aging equipment need a panel that can carry the load without nuisance trips or safety risks. Build Bright Home Solutions, licensed under CA contractor license 1056740, serves Burbank with that planning-forward approach.
Do the envelope before the equipment. Sealing and insulating first means the replacement system can be smaller, cheaper and quieter.
What that involves
- Service upgrades to 200A and above for homes currently running on 100A or 150A panels
- Subpanel installation to distribute capacity to garages, ADUs or dedicated circuits
- Capacity planning for EV chargers, heat pumps, electric water heaters and other electrification loads
- Full coordination from load calculation through final inspection
- Combined electrical and building-envelope assessments for homeowners planning broader energy upgrades

Electrical Panel Upgrades questions from Burbank
- How do I know if my Burbank home needs a panel upgrade?
- Common signs include breakers that trip when the AC runs alongside other appliances, a panel rated below 200A, limited open slots for new circuits, or plans to add an EV charger or heat pump. A load calculation will confirm whether your current service can handle your existing and planned equipment.
- What size panel do most Burbank homes need?
- A 200A service is the standard starting point for modern homes with central AC, and it provides enough headroom for most electrification upgrades. Homes with larger loads, detached ADUs or heavy EV charging may benefit from a 400A service or a dedicated subpanel.
- Does a panel upgrade require a permit in Burbank?
- Yes. Electrical service upgrades require a permit and inspection through the City of Burbank Building Division. Build Bright Home Solutions coordinates the permit process as part of the project so the work is fully code-compliant.
- How long does a panel upgrade typically take?
- Most residential service upgrades are completed in one day. Work involving utility coordination or a new meter base may add time depending on the utility's scheduling. We will walk you through the full timeline before work begins.
- Can I bundle a panel upgrade with other home improvements?
- Yes, and it often makes sense to do so. Because Build Bright Home Solutions covers mechanical, electrical and building-envelope work, we can assess your attic insulation, HVAC capacity and electrical service together and sequence the work efficiently.
