Electrical Panel Upgrade in Steilacoom, Tacoma, Lakewood, Olympia & Puyallup | Good Electric
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s system. If it’s outdated, overloaded, or unsafe, it’s time for an upgrade. Good Electric provides professional electrical panel changes and upgrades across Steilacoom, Tacoma, Lakewood, Olympia, and Puyallup.
An electrical panel upgrade is crucial for maintaining the safety and functionality of your home’s electrical system. An outdated panel can lead to various issues such as electrical issues, inefficient energy usage, and insufficient power supply for modern appliances. It is essential to consider upgrading if you experience any of the following signs: persistent circuit overloads, flickering lights, or if your panel is more than 20 years old.
Why an Electrical Panel Upgrade is Essential for Your Home
– Frequent tripped breakers or flickering lights
– Adding large appliances or EV chargers
– Home renovations or additions
– Fuse panels or outdated wiring
For instance, if you have recently purchased new appliances like a refrigerator or a washing machine that require more power, your existing panel may struggle to meet these demands. Additionally, homes that are undergoing renovations or expansions often need a larger capacity panel to accommodate increased electrical loads. In these cases, an electrical panel upgrade not only improves safety but also enhances convenience and comfort in your living space.
If your panel is old; Federal Pacific FPE, Zinsco, Challenger, or if it’s simply running out of room, we can help. We’ll tell you the truth about your panel, even if it means we don’t get a sale.
Understanding the types of panels is also important. Many older homes may still have Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels, which are known for their safety risks. If your home is equipped with these or similar outdated systems, it is imperative to consider an upgrade. We provide comprehensive inspections to ensure your panel is functioning properly and safely.

Tony (owner, Good Electric) replaced / upgraded the electric service panel at our recently purchased home in Steilacoom. Excellent workmanship, neatly, cleanly, and efficiently done. The work unexpectedly required re-patching... read more some of the house's vinyl siding and interior drywall; Tony called on a local contractor he has a working relationship with to take care of that work, freeing me from having to chase down that additional resource. Tony was extremely friendly and easy to work with; high recommend!

I had seen a mention of Good Electric on FB and gave them a call because it was a local small business. Tony came out and it was immediately... read more clear that he was extremely knowledgable as well as outgoing and friendly. He got right to work and engaged in a conversation that defined exactly what we wanted done and that provided my wife and i with the information necessary to make decisions. He did the work quickly and neatly and we were most pleased. He even met us at Home Depot to look at their supply of can light replacements so we could have him replace 11 lights in the house. The price was very fair and the service was great.

I have known Tony since 2015 when I contracted him to upgrade my panel and add circuits to split off poor workmanship done when the home was constructed. During... read more the course of the upgrade, he discovered an issue which explained the occasionally dimming lights that I had experienced for years but found no resolution. It was multiple faulty neutral connections which could ultimately have lead to a fire. I did not tell about the dimming lights as I thought it was due to the power source. When he discovered the faulty connections he came to me and asked if I had every experience unusual fluctuations in my lights to which I answered that I had for years. He showed me the problem and proceeded to affect repairs along with my upgrade.
Tony's workmanship is precise, clean, and of extremely high quality. He does not leave behind any residual materials, always cleaning up his work area, and upon completion, the work area looks as though nothing was done aside from the obvious new items. The addition of new circuits was also accomplished without the need of tearing into a wall. Excellent and impressive so much so that I insisted my Internet provider do the same, follow Tony's example, and don't tell me it cannot be done.
I had lost contact with Tony after several years and in 2019 I began searching for him as I trusted his work. I needed to add four forty-amp circuits to accommodate an electric tankless water heater. Having found Tony, I contracted him for the task. Again, another excellent and clean job.
Tony's work ethic and personality is admirable. He holds high expectations and integrity of himself and is also very open, friendly, and personable. He is an an easy person with whom to talk making it one comfortable to ask even the simplest questions which helps one to make the right decisions about the work they will task Tony to accomplish. Tony is very customer-oriented and always addressing the customer's needs with helpful explanations, options, and cost assessments.
Excellent, honest, clean, effective and efficient work! Tony is my go-to person for anything electrical as well as recommendations for others in different fields of the same caliber.

Update 2026-08-25
I called Tony to do a bit of rewiring for my new dishwasher. The one being removed was hardwired and also difficult to disconnect due to short line run to the front of dishwasher. The one prior was older yet and the short run was adequate because the power connections were in the back. Needing to install a new dishwasher today, I struggled with the short run again and thought to splice in an extra length of wiring. However, my instincts drove me to go for a more professional approach. A quick call to Tony who was just finishing up another job and he was onsite within an hour to do the rework installing a junction box and running new wire with sufficient length to make the dishwasher installation easier for now and the the future. I know I can always count on Tony to step in, assess the problem, and provide an efficient, professional, cost effective solution. Quality is always excellent!

Tony is the best. He installed both a sub-panel and repaired broken exterior lighting at our house. We thought the repairs would be much more expensive than Tony charged, and... read more he even found a much cheaper repair for the external lights, making the job simpler and less expensive. He was on time and communicated his ETA in advance. He’s a nice guy and does his work well. Highly recommend Tony for all electrical work. We’ll be calling him for any future electrical work we have! Thanks Tony.
