Visible corrosion or discoloration
Adding an EV charger or new appliances
These are reasons for an assessment. They do not always mean your panel needs replacement.

2–4 weeks
Typical PG&E application process for simple upgrades and panel swaps.
3–6 months

-
The existing equipment, required capacity, panel location and any utility or infrastructure work affect the scope. An assessment comes before a clear estimate.
