How do I know whether I need a panel upgrade or full rewiring?

A panel upgrade covers updating the distribution point of your system — the wiring throughout the home stays in place. A full rewiring project replaces every conductor in the home. Aging houses require rewiring along with a panel upgrade. Our assessment process identifies what's actually required.

Do upgrades affect home sale inspections?
