MAIN 200AElectrical Panel Upgrade in Camarillo, CA
A lot of Camarillo houses are still running the panel they were built with, on a service sized for one window AC and a black-and-white television. Add an EV, a heat pump and an induction range and that panel is out of room and out of capacity.

Situations we see in Camarillo
Zinsco or Federal Pacific panel
These breakers have a documented history of failing to trip under fault. Replacement is the only real remedy, and it is one of our most common Camarillo jobs.
Adding an EV, heat pump or ADU
All of these need a load calculation. If existing demand plus the new load exceeds your service, the upgrade comes first.
No space left in the panel
Double-tapped breakers and tandem cheaters are a sign the panel is full. A 200 amp replacement gives you 40 or more spaces and room for the next ten years.
Panel is rusted or wet
Water in an enclosure corrodes bus stabs and creates high-resistance connections. Once rust reaches the bus, the panel is done.

Reviews from Ventura County
Tesla Wall Connector in the garage, clean conduit run, done in an afternoon. They talked me out of a panel upgrade I didn't actually need.
Devon W.EV charger · CamarilloBreaker tripped Sunday night and I got a call back in about ten minutes. Tech found a bad connection in a junction box behind the closet, fixed it that night, and the price was what he said on the phone.
Marcus D.Emergency repair · CamarilloSix recessed lights in the living room and a dimmer that finally doesn't buzz. They laid the whole layout out on the ceiling with tape first, which I appreciated.

Do I really need 200 amps?
If you are adding EV charging, electric heat, a hot tub or an ADU, almost certainly. We run an actual load calculation rather than guessing, and if 100 amps genuinely still works we will tell you.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Camarillo?
Yes, service work is permitted and inspected. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector so you don't have to.
How long will my power be off during the upgrade?
Plan on most of a working day. We coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect so the outage lands in one block rather than spread over days.
Can you replace just the breakers instead of the whole panel?
Sometimes. On a sound modern panel, breaker replacement is fine. On a Zinsco, Federal Pacific or corroded enclosure, new breakers don't fix the bus, so the panel gets replaced.
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Camarillo?
Cost tracks the service size, the condition of the service entrance and whether the meter has to move. A straight 100 to 200 amp swap sits well below a job that needs a new mast and underground feed. Call (833) 652-8933 and we will walk your panel and quote a flat number.
