Electrical Panel Replacement in Houston

Signs your panel needs replacing

Permitted Panel Upgrades, Done Right

A panel swap is not a handyman job. In Houston, panel replacement requires a licensed electrical contractor, a city permit, and an inspection — and skipping any of those can void your homeowner's insurance. TexPro Systems holds a Texas Electrical Contractor License (TECL #41661), so we pull the permit, coordinate with CenterPoint for the disconnect/reconnect, and stand behind the work.

What a panel replacement includes

• Load calculation to size the new panel correctly (125, 150, or 200 amp)
• New copper-bus load center with modern breakers
• AFCI/GFCI protection brought up to current code where required
• Proper grounding and bonding — the most commonly botched item we find
• City permit, inspection, and utility coordination handled for you
• Labeled circuits so you actually know what each breaker does

Federal Pacific & Zinsco panels

Houston has thousands of homes from the 60s–80s still running Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels. These brands have documented failure rates where breakers don't trip under fault — which is the one job a breaker has. If you have one, replacement isn't an upgrade, it's a safety repair. We'll confirm what you have with a free look at photos of your panel before you commit to anything.

Planning for more power

Upgrading the panel is also the right time to plan ahead. If an EV charger, pool equipment, workshop subpanel, or standby generator is in your future, tell us — we'll size the panel and leave the capacity so you don't pay twice.
