If you have a 100A panel and you're adding any of: EV charger, heat pump, hot tub, electric range, electric dryer, or major remodel — yes. If you're staying with current loads only and the panel is modern/safe, you can defer. If you have an FPE Stab-Lok or Zinsco panel, replace regardless of capacity (safety reason, not capacity).
How long does the upgrade take?
Most 200A residential upgrades take 6–10 hours total. Power is off for ~6 hours of that (we coordinate with Rocky Mountain Power). City inspector signs off within 24 hours. We schedule on a workday morning so power is restored by evening.
Will my insurance carrier non-renew if I don't replace my FPE / Zinsco panel?
Possibly. Several major Utah carriers have started flagging FPE and Zinsco panels as a non-renewal trigger. Pull your policy and look for any panel-related exclusion. The upgrade typically pays back in 3–5 years of saved premium plus eliminates the fire risk.
