Electrical Panel Repair & Replacement Services in the Pacific Northwest
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s power. If it’s undersized, outdated, or unsafe, you risk nuisance trips—and potentially dangerous faults. Hunt’s Services performs electrical panel upgrade and electrical panel replacement services throughout the Pacific Northwest, including breaker box installation, breaker box repair, breaker panel replacement, and fuse box replacement with modern breaker systems.
What we do:
- Load calculations for remodels, additions, and EV chargers.
- Electrical panel repair for loose lugs, corrosion, and damaged bus bars.
- Electrical panel replacement and right-sized service upgrades (100A–400A).
- Breaker box installation and breaker panel replacement.

When to consider an upgrade or replacement:
- You’re adding EV charging, hot tubs, or new HVAC, and need capacity.
- Frequent breaker trips or warm-to-the-touch breakers/panel cover.
- Visible rust, scorching, or a burning smell at the panel.
- Original fuse box panel or recalled/banned equipment.
- Lights dim when appliances start; motors struggle to start.
- Limited breaker spaces or heavy use of tandem “cheater” breakers.
- Home inspection flagged hazards or insurance requested replacement.
- Plans for solar or future expansion and you want to be “future-ready”.
A proper electrical panel upgrade is more than swapping hardware. Our electrician will evaluate grounding and bonding, arc-fault needs, whole-house surge protection, and labeling for safety. You’ll receive a clear proposal with options and timelines. Many homeowners pair a panel upgrade with dedicated circuits for kitchen remodels, home offices, and media rooms to enhance reliability and convenience.
