Frequently asked

Panel Upgrade Questions Answered

Common questions get answered quickly so the page feels more trustworthy before someone reaches out.

Q1

How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade?

Common signs include frequently tripping breakers, a fuse box instead of a breaker panel, limited circuits for modern appliances, or plans to add an EV charger or generator. We can assess your current setup and advise accordingly.

Q2

Is Plante Electric licensed to perform panel upgrades in RI?

Yes. Plante Electric holds RI License #016519 and MA License #61317, covering panel upgrade work in North Smithfield and throughout our service area.

Q3

What panel capacity is right for my home?

The right capacity depends on your home's size, existing load, and planned additions like EV chargers or generators. We evaluate your specific situation before recommending a panel size.

Q4

Will the power be off during the upgrade?

Yes, a temporary outage is required during the panel swap. We coordinate this window with you in advance and work efficiently to minimize any inconvenience.

Q5

Do panel upgrades require a permit in Rhode Island?

In most cases, yes. Plante Electric handles the permit process as part of the project, ensuring your upgrade is properly documented and inspected per local requirements.

Q6

Can a panel upgrade support an EV charger or generator?

Absolutely. If adding an EV charger or generator is part of your plan, we factor that into the panel sizing and installation so your system is ready to support it.

Yes. While we are based in North Smithfield, RI, we also serve communities across Northern Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts.
