Electrical Panel Upgrade
Lake Forest's housing stock spans from 1980s–1990s tract homes in El Toro (before Lake Forest incorporation) and older Foothill Ranch communities, to brand-new construction in Baker Ranch. Older homes commonly have 100–150A panels that no longer handle EV charging, air conditioning, and modern loads. Newer Baker Ranch homes are often solar-equipped and adding battery storage — which can also require panel evaluation.
Wilson Electric upgrades residential panels throughout Lake Forest to 200A or 400A service. We coordinate with Southern California Edison, pull all required permits through the City of Lake Forest Community Development Department, and pass the final inspection — all included.
Pricing: $3,500–$5,500 for most residential main service panel upgrades. Free on-site and virtual assessments available.
