Most older Arlington TX homes run on 100-amp service. Modern homes with EV chargers, HVAC systems, and large appliances need 200 amps or more. We upgrade panels from 100A to 200A and handle all permitting with the City of Arlington.
Homes in South Arlington near I-20 and older Dalworthington Gardens properties are the most common candidates for panel upgrades. If your breakers trip often or you are adding an EV charger, a panel upgrade is likely the right move.
Electrical panel upgrade in Arlington TX →Some panels do not just need an upgrade - they need to be replaced entirely. Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels and Zinsco panels are two of the most common problem panels in older Arlington TX homes. Both are known to fail without tripping when overloaded. That is a fire hazard.
We replace problem panels with modern, code-compliant breaker boxes from trusted manufacturers. We pull the permit, do the work, and schedule the inspection.
Electrical panel replacement in Arlington TX →Your breaker box and your panel are the same thing - but many homeowners search for breaker box replacement separately.

Yes. The City of Arlington requires a permit for all panel upgrades, replacements, and new installations. Bolt Electric pulls the permit, does the work, and schedules the city inspection. You do not need to handle any of the permit process yourself. Work done without a permit creates problems when you sell the home.
The most common signs are breakers that trip often, lights that flicker when appliances turn on, a panel that feels warm, a panel that is more than 25 years old, or a plan to add an EV charger or major appliance. Homes in South Arlington and Dalworthington Gardens built before 1980 frequently have 100-amp panels that cannot support modern electrical loads.
A panel upgrade usually means increasing the amperage capacity - for example, going from a 100-amp to a 200-amp service. A panel replacement means removing the existing panel entirely and installing a new one in its place. Sometimes you need both - for example, when replacing a failing Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel with a new 200-amp unit. We assess your situation and recommend the right scope of work.
A standard residential panel upgrade or replacement takes four to eight hours for a licensed crew. This includes removing the old panel, installing the new one, connecting all circuits, and testing. Add time if the meter base also needs to be replaced. The city inspection is scheduled separately and usually happens within a few business days of the installation.
Yes. We handle electric panel installation in Dalworthington Gardens, Kennedale, South Arlington, Pantego, and all surrounding areas. Same licensed crew, same pricing structure, same permit process through the City of Arlington or the relevant city jurisdiction for that address.
Yes. Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels and Zinsco panels are both known to have breakers that fail to trip under overload conditions. A breaker that does not trip when it should is a fire hazard. Insurance companies in Texas increasingly refuse to cover homes with these panels or require replacement before issuing a policy. We replace them with modern, code-compliant panels. Call us for an inspection and price.
