Your electrical panel, often referred to as the breaker box or fuse box, is the heart of your home’s electrical system. It’s responsible for distributing electricity to different circuits in your home. However, if your panel is outdated or unable to handle your home’s current electrical demands, it can lead to various problems, including power outages, flickering lights, and even potential fire hazards.
Here’s How a Panel Upgrade from CMC Electric Can Help:

Increased Capacity
An upgraded panel may provide more circuits and higher amperage, allowing your home to handle modern electrical demands.
02
Fewer Power Surges
We provide a surge protector with all new panels, reducing the risk of power surges, protecting your appliances and electronics.
03
Safety Compliance
We ensure your new panel meets all current safety codes, giving you peace of mind.
04
Smooth Installation
Our licensed, bonded, and insured electricians handle the entire process from start to finish, ensuring a safe and efficient upgrade.
200-Amp Panel Upgrades For Safer, Future-Ready Power
Many homes in the Tacoma area still have older or hazardous panels that were never built for today’s power needs. CMC Electric focuses on 200-amp electrical panel upgrades and the safe replacement of known-problem panels like Federal Pacific (FPE) and Zinsco. We install trusted Eaton (Cutler-Hammer) panels and make sure everything is sized correctly, grounded properly, and brought up to today’s code standards. A modern 200-amp panel also makes it easier (and safer) to add high-demand upgrades like EV chargers, heat pumps, and home backup power systems.
What This Upgrade Helps You Do:
- Replace outdated or hazardous panels (Federal Pacific/FPE and Zinsco) with modern Eaton (Cutler-Hammer) equipment
- Support EV charger installs without constant breaker trips or overloaded circuits
- Get your home ready for backup power options like generator hookups or battery systems
- Add new circuits for remodels, shops, hot tubs, and upgraded HVAC equipment
