Fuse Panel to Breaker Panel change
- Tired of replacing blown fuses?
- Want a safer electrical service panel?
- Insurance companies refuse to insure your house?
- Renovating, and need additional circuit for your
Any of the above is a valid reason to replace your dated fuse box to a new circuit breaker panel. We have completed hundreds of panel changes over years in the business, in addition GCCElectric can efficiently coordinate with ESA inspectors and the Hydro Authority to disconnect and reconnect your power to safely change your electrical service all within the same day, with minimal downtime.
Old Breaker panel to New Breaker panel change
An electrical panel upgrade or “panel change” is usually required to alleviate a problem with the existing panel. Sometimes a breaker might overheat to the point that the buss bar in a panel gets burned.
The conductors between the meter and panel may become loose and burn out the main lugs. Other common reasons to change out an existing panel are due to obsolescence and outdated technology. Split-buss panels, lower end builder-grade panels, panels contaminated by water, paint and corrosive environments are often candidates for replacement. Panels long ago manufactured by FPE have many issues and are considered a hazard by many in the industry.
Electrical panels are the heart of your electrical system. When your electrical panel goes out almost everything shuts down or worse yet a fire.
New Electrical Panel
Surge protector in new panel
New Breaker panel
Old Fuses
Electrical panels typically last 20-25 years.
Sure signs of a failure in your electrical panel are flickering lights and excess heat at the circuit breakers.
If you see any of those signs call us immediately.
Whole House Surge Protector Installations
A power surge can follow through any wire into a home and threaten computers, televisions, smart appliances, home automation, and other equipment. Many homeowners have a false assumption that surge protection is simply a matter of plugging their devices into a low-cost, multi-outlet surge suppressor.
Do not be fooled…
If you want to protect devices plugged into outlets anywhere in the home, install a whole-house surge protection system. This protection must be hard-wired into the main electrical panel by a licensed electrician. Use smaller whole house surge protection for delicate circuitry, telephone, and cable lines. Use the multi-outlet power strip surge protection as your backup to absorb any excess power that seeps through the primary protection.

Dan came my house to put potlights in and figure out an issue with an outlet. The potlights look beautiful! He was very careful to make minimal holes and even plastered the holes to make it easy for us. He was very clean, did quality work at a reasonable price, and is a really nice guy. He’s knowledgeable and resolved the outlet issue easily, when other electricians did not. I would highly recommend Dan and will definitely call him again for any electrical work in the future.Laura BelsitoNovember 26, 2024

Dan upgraded our electrical panel and installed a Tesla charger for our home. It was a complicated job because our panel was very poorly put together by the previous owner. He did an excellent job, and his work was very neat and clean. He was also a super nice and honest guy to work with. Dan also pointed out some serious safety problems around our homes and fixed them. We highly recommend Dan for all your electrical needs if you want things done right!Shirley HSeptember 11, 2024

This is the first time that we used service from GCCElectric. From scheduling appointment to finishing the job, everything went smoothly. Dan lived up to his excellent reputation as reviewed by previous clients. He came on time and in no time figured out the problems, thus reflecting his experience in the trade. He explained the problems clearly. His workmanship can be described as meticulous, efficient and clean. He is also amiable, courteous, honest but not pushy. A trustworthy electrician such as Dan is hard to come by. Surely, we will contact him again when future electrical problems arise.Hing Wo TsuiAugust 30, 2023

GCC Electric is a fantastic company that does superb work. We had Dan upgrade our old 1967 fuse panel to a 200 Amp service.
From the beginning to the end, Dan provided quick, friendly and professional service at a fair price. High quality material was used to complete the high quality service we received. Lights out at 9:15 am and all power restored by 2:30 pm. Impressive. Not only did we get a great job, you can't find a speck of debris left behind. Dan removed all the garbage, old wires, boxes and wood from the previous unit and took it away with him.
I could go on and on about how satisfied we are with this company and only wish more businesses operated like GCC
What you need to know is this:
High quality work
Professional Service
Fair pricing
Honest and trustworthy
Piece of mind
Hire him, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Dan,

Hired Dan to install potlights throughout my first floor, install smart switches and add two outlets, one a 20 amp, in my basement. I will be bringing him back in to install potlights throughout my upstairs common areas. Good, clean work done efficiently, he is an overall good guy. Highly recommended.Geoff BaxterDecember 14, 2022
We had Dan install new under-cabinet lighting in our kitchen, add a surge protector to our electrical panel, replace a ceiling fan, replace a dimmer switch, and replace a remote control transmitter in another ceiling fan. He was so professional. His work was excellent and his prices were reasonable. We would recommend him without hesitation and will certainly call on him again for any future electrical needs. Thanks so much Dan!Penny HillierNovember 12, 2022
Dan Dikas installed two exterior lights and a timer for me. Each project was complicated by previous wiring jobs. Dan was thorough, patient and professional. He came out to see the job before quoting, unlike another company that couldn’t be bothered. Dan explained each installation and demonstrated how to set the timer and motion detector. The price was very fair. I would use GCC again without hesitation and recommend them highly.Yolanda WillettOctober 3, 2022
Attention Halton. Look no further for your home electrician. Dan is the man. He is a perfectionist at what he does. He came back on his own time because he thought the conduit he laid was not straight enough for him. Plus he is very responsive and his prices are very reasonable. What more could you ask for. He is the BEST.Mark FSeptember 15, 2022
I have dealt with many contractors and trades. Dan is great and exactly what you want from initial consult, quote throught to work completion: Professional, Honest, On-time, accomidating, friendly and courteous.
If you're looking for an electrician, then look no further you will not be disappointed.Steve MassieAugust 25, 2022
We had Dan from GCC Electric install a new bathroom fan, and replace one other. He is honest, thorough, and takes pride in his work. He made some great recommendations, and didn't make us feel as though he was trying to "sell" us anything we didn't necessarily need. I will absolutely use GCC Electric again in the future if we have a need!Amy GeerJune 22, 2022

Dan installed some exterior soffit lighting for us, added several GFCI outlets, ran outdoor conduit for Christmas lighting and installed a new Google Nest doorbell and security camera. Pricing was competitive but more importantly all work was completed in a timely, neat and professional manner. I can highly recommend GCC, and Dan in particular, for any electrical work you may be considering.PeterAugust 7, 2021
