Main Panel Upgrade (MPU) in Sacramento & Surrounding Areas

More Power. More Safety. Fewer Headaches.

Still relying on a fuse box or a panel from the ’80s? If your lights flicker, breakers trip, or your home struggles with modern appliances, it’s time to upgrade your electrical panel — not just for convenience, but for safety and future-proofing.

At Menderix, we specialize in safe, code-compliant panel upgrades designed for the real electrical loads of today’s homes in Sacramento, Roseville, Elk Grove, and surrounding areas.

Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel

Most homes built before 1990 aren’t wired for modern life. Air conditioners, EV chargers, solar systems, and even kitchen appliances can easily overload outdated panels.

Signs you may need a panel upgrade:

  • Breakers constantly tripping
  • Lights dimming when appliances run
  • You’re installing solar, battery storage, or an EV charger
  • Your panel is warm to the touch — or smells like burning plastic
  • It’s a Zinsco, Federal Pacific, or other recalled panel brand

Don’t ignore the signs. An overloaded panel isn’t just annoying — it’s a fire risk.

What You Get with Menderix Panel Upgrades

We don’t just replace your panel — we upgrade your system for long-term safety, performance, and flexibility:

  • Increased panel capacity (100A, 200A, or more depending on your needs)
  • Code-compliant installation with proper bonding and grounding
  • Solar- and EV-ready panel setups
  • Permits and inspections handled for you
  • Labeled circuits for easy breaker identification
  • Reliable equipment from trusted brands like Square D, Siemens, and Eaton
  • All work is done by licensed C-10 electricians with clean, professional results — no shortcuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Menderix handle full electrical panel upgrades (MPUs)?

Yes! We’re a licensed C-10 electrical contractor with extensive experience in Main Panel Upgrades (MPU). We upgrade outdated 100A or 125A panels to modern 200A or 225A systems to support EV chargers, solar, HVAC systems, and more.

How do I know if I need to upgrade my electrical panel?

Common signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smells, or not enough capacity for new appliances like EV chargers or heat pumps. If your panel is over 25–30 years old, it’s likely time for an assessment.

Can you upgrade my panel and also install solar or EV charging?

Absolutely. In fact, panel upgrades are often required before installing solar or EV chargers. We specialize in full-system planning to ensure your home is ready for modern energy demands.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes — we offer two options: you can handle the permits yourself, or we can take care of the entire permitting process, including utility coordination with SMUD, PG&E, or Roseville Electric, plus scheduling final inspections. If you’d like us to manage everything for you, we’re happy to — for an additional service fee. Either way, we’ll guide you through what’s required to keep the upgrade fully compliant and hassle-free.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most upgrades are completed in 1 day, with power restored by the end of the day. We’ll give you a detailed timeline based on your specific home and service conditions.

Can I upgrade from a fuse box or split-bus panel?

Yes, and you definitely should. Old fuse boxes and split-bus panels are outdated and often unsafe. We’ll replace them with a safe, modern panel that meets today’s electrical codes and energy needs.

Will upgrading my panel raise my utility bill?

No. Upgrading your panel does not increase your usage — it simply gives your home the capacity to handle more modern, efficient appliances and renewable energy sources.

Can Menderix upgrade my panel if I live in an older home?

Yes. We frequently upgrade panels in homes built in the 1950s–1980s across Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, and surrounding areas. We bring your home up to code while preserving its character.

Is a panel upgrade covered by insurance or rebates?

In some cases, yes. Homeowners insurance may cover unsafe panel replacement after certain inspections. Rebates may be available if the upgrade is part of a solar or heat pump project — we’ll help you find out.

What kind of panel do you install?

We install top-rated panels from brands like Eaton, Siemens, and Square D, all UL-listed and approved for California use. We ensure proper grounding, labeling, AFCI/GFCI protection, and safety to meet all local codes.
