Melby Electric has completed its 110th electrical panel upgrade project in Snohomish County, marking a milestone as more homeowners update their electrical systems to support modern power needs.
The most recent project involved installing a new electrical panel along with a dedicated 240-volt outlet in a residential garage. The upgrade was completed to support a newly installed electric vehicle charging station, which Melby Electric also handled as part of the project. Together, the improvements ensured the home’s electrical system could safely manage higher electrical loads without stressing older infrastructure.
Across Snohomish County, many homes were built before electric vehicles, high-efficiency appliances, and increased household power use became common. As a result, existing electrical panels may lack the capacity needed to support new technology safely. Panel upgrades help distribute power more effectively, reduce the risk of overloaded circuits, and bring systems closer to current electrical standards.
According to Melby Electric, panel upgrades are increasingly tied to long-term planning rather than one-time fixes. Homeowners installing EV chargers often take the opportunity to upgrade panels so their electrical systems are better prepared for future additions such as heat pumps, workshops, or additional circuits.
“An electrical panel upgrade is often the foundation for everything that comes next,” said Jake, the owner of Melby Electric. “When homeowners plan ahead, it helps avoid repeated electrical work and supports safer, more reliable power use.”
Electrical panel replacement requires careful assessment of existing wiring, load calculations, and coordination with current electrical codes. In Snohomish County, projects often involve matching panel capacity with new equipment like EV chargers, ensuring proper grounding, and confirming safe circuit distribution throughout the home.
The completion of 110 panel upgrades reflects Melby Electric’s continued involvement in residential electrical modernization across Snohomish County. Many of these projects involve older homes that were originally built with lower electrical capacity and are now being updated to support present-day demands such as electric vehicles, high-efficiency appliances, and increased household power use.
As homeowners move toward electrification and long-term energy planning, panel upgrades have become a necessary step in making homes safer, more functional, and better prepared for future technology.
Industry professionals note that demand for panel upgrades has increased as EV ownership grows and homeowners invest in electrification projects. Proper installation plays a key role in long-term safety, system performance, and flexibility for future electrical needs.

The company focuses on safe installation practices, clear communication, and work designed to support both current and future electrical use.
