Problem Solved Electric replaces and upgrades electrical panels across Hayden, Idaho. Our shop is right here in Hayden on Burnham Avenue, so panel work in town gets scheduled fast and we show up on time. We replace fuse boxes, obsolete Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, and undersized 100-amp services with modern 200-amp equipment, clean grounding, and room for the circuits you will want next. Call (208) 352-0662 and talk to a local journeyman electrician.
Signs your Hayden home needs a panel upgrade
Breakers that trip over and over, lights that dim when the well pump or dryer kicks on, a panel that is warm or buzzing, screw-in fuses, a panel with no open spaces left, or an insurance company asking questions about a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel. Any one of these is worth a look before it becomes an emergency.
What a panel replacement includes
A new 200-amp panel and breakers, grounding and bonding brought up to current code, arc-fault and ground-fault protection where code requires it, whole-home surge protection if you want it, clearly labeled circuits, and coordination with Avista or Kootenai Electric for the disconnect and reconnect. We handle the permit and meet the inspector on site.
Panel capacity for the way Hayden lives now
EV chargers, heat pumps, hot tubs, saunas, shop subpanels, and generator interlocks all want capacity that many Hayden panels from the seventies, eighties, and nineties do not have. We run a real load calculation first. Sometimes the honest answer is that your existing panel has room; when it does not, we quote the upgrade at a fixed price in writing.
Permits and inspections
Every panel change we do is permitted and inspected. We pull the permit under our Idaho electrical contractor license, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector so you do not have to take a second day off work.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Hayden?
Most 200-amp panel replacements land in a fairly tight range once we see the meter setup and grounding. We quote a fixed price in writing after a short site visit, and the number does not change unless you change the scope.
How long will my power be off during a panel replacement?
Plan on most of one working day. We coordinate the utility disconnect for the morning, set the new panel, and power is typically back on the same day. We keep the outage as short as possible so refrigerators and freezers stay cold.
Do I need a panel upgrade to add an EV charger or generator?
Not always. We run a load calculation first. Many 200-amp panels have room, and load management can avoid an upgrade. If your service is 100 amps or the panel is out of spaces, upgrading at the same time is usually the cheaper path.
