Is your electrical panel keeping up with your home's demands? Deaton Electric upgrades outdated panels, increases amperage, and adds circuits to power your modern lifestyle safely.
Many older homes in Middle Tennessee still run on 100-amp electrical panels that were never designed for today's appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, and smart home technology. Deaton Electric upgrades your panel from 100A to 200A, giving your home the capacity it needs to run safely and efficiently.
We also replace outdated and recalled breaker panels -- including Federal Pacific, Zinsco, and other known hazard brands -- with modern, safe equipment. Every panel upgrade includes a full inspection and coordination with your utility company and local inspectors.
Adding a hot tub, workshop, EV charger, or home office? These high-demand appliances and spaces need dedicated circuits to operate safely without overloading your existing wiring. Deaton Electric installs new circuits and dedicated lines to support your specific needs.
We handle everything from running new wire to installing the right breakers and outlets, ensuring your new circuit is properly sized, grounded, and up to code. Dedicated circuits protect your equipment and prevent nuisance tripping.
Common questions about electrical panel upgrades.
You should consider a panel upgrade if your panel is 100 amps or less, if you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel (both are known fire hazards), if you are adding major appliances like an EV charger or HVAC system, or if your breakers trip frequently.
A standard panel upgrade from 100A to 200A typically takes one day to complete. More complex projects involving additional wiring or meter base replacement may take slightly longer. We will give you an accurate timeline during your free estimate.
Yes, your power will be temporarily disconnected during the panel upgrade. The outage typically lasts 4 to 8 hours while we remove the old panel, install the new one, and have the utility reconnect service. We coordinate with your utility company to minimize downtime.
