Today’s homes ask far more of their electrical service than the panels of a generation ago were ever built to deliver. Are you due for an upgrade?

Estimates are free across Johnson County, and an electrical panel replacement can be financed through First Financial Bank. Call (817) 678-1289 to get started.

What to Expect From Your Cleburne Panel Upgrade

  • We run a load calculation against your actual appliances, HVAC, and plans, so the new service is sized to the house rather than to a round number.
  • We coordinate the utility disconnect and pull the permit, because the meter has to come down before anything else happens.
  • We replace the panel and, where they need it, the service entrance conductors, the grounding electrode system, and the bonding.
  • We label every circuit legibly, which matters to you now and to the next electrician who opens that door.
  • We energize under load, walk you through the finished panel, and leave the inspection scheduled.

A 200-amp panel upgrade generally runs about $1,300 to $2,500, with the national average for a replacement near $1,475, per HomeGuide’s electrical panel replacement cost breakdown.

Dugger Electric: Your Local Electrical Panel Upgrade Team

Since 1974, Cleburne families and business owners have called Dugger Electric when it is time for a safe, code-compliant panel upgrade. As a family-owned business and proud member of the Johnson County Builders Association and Cleburne Chamber of Commerce, our licensed electricians perform the required load calculations, complete the job according to local electrical codes, and coordinate required permits and inspections. Call (817) 678-1289 to get your panel replacement on our schedule.

  • How do I know the panel needs upgrading rather than repairing? Frequent tripping with no obvious overload, a fuse box, a 60- or 100-amp service, or plans for a charger or an addition each point past repair.
  • What size service should we move to? Most Cleburne homes go to 200 amps, which carries central air, a modern kitchen, and room for what comes next. A load calculation confirms it rather than assuming.
  • How long is the power off? Part of a day, while the panel is swapped and the utility disconnect is scheduled around it. We give you the window in advance rather than after.
  • Does the upgrade need a permit? Yes, and we pull it. The inspection record is what protects your insurance and reassures whoever buys the house next.

Opening the panel is the moment a dozen other upgrades suddenly get cheaper. Planning to plug in an EV? Our EV charger installation crew runs the 240-volt line right then, while the cover is already off. Whole-home surge protection bolts straight into a modern panel, a house still on a fuse box gets a proper fuse box replacement instead of a patch. If the branch wiring behind it all is the real weak point, our whole-home rewiring team addresses that in the same scope.

Adding whole-home surge protection before the next storm season is a smart move if:

  • You have already lost electronics or an appliance to a storm or an unexplained power spike.
  • Your house is filled with sensitive equipment, from smart televisions to HVAC control boards.
  • Your lights flicker or dim when a large appliance or the air conditioning cycles on.
  • Your neighborhood experiences regular lightning strikes during the North Texas storm season.
  • There is currently no surge protection device installed at your main panel.
Call (817) 678-1289, and we will inspect your panel and grounding system together.

Dugger Electric delivers permitted and inspected electrical panel upgrades across Cleburne and Johnson County, handling everything from the meter inward. Call (817) 678-1289 or request service online, and we will provide a firm quote and a realistic timeline.

Three Panel Problems We Upgrade Most in Cleburne Homes

Johnson County has grown fast, but the electrical service in much of its older housing stock never caught up. Cleburne’s established neighborhoods throw the same three panel problems at us year after year. Here is what each one looks like and what the upgrade actually solves.

Plenty of established Cleburne homes still run on a 60- or 100-amp service that was generous in its day but now trips under central air, an electric range, and everything added since. Pushing an old service past its limit is exactly where overheating starts. We run a load calculation and upgrade to a properly sized 200-amp service, replacing the panel and the entrance components so the house is left with real capacity and some headroom to grow.

Some panels installed decades ago carry brand names now known for breakers that fail to trip on a fault. That’s a hidden fire risk, and most homeowners have no idea their panel is on the list. We flag these during the evaluation and replace them with a modern, listed panel and breakers that trip when they should, which turns a known hazard into documented, insurable safety.

When every slot is full and someone has doubled up breakers to squeeze in more circuits, the panel is telling you it’s out of capacity. That crowding makes future work harder and can overload the bus. We upgrade to a larger panel with open spaces built in, so adding a circuit later is a service call instead of a rebuild.
