Panel upgrade pricing depends on your current service size, utility requirements, and whether we are replacing the panel only or upgrading service entrance equipment. ARC Electric provides upfront, straight-forward pricing after an on-site assessment. Most Milpitas and Santa Clara County homes fall into a predictable range once we inspect your existing panel and complete load calculations.
Most residential Level 2 EV charger installations take a few hours when your electrical panel has adequate capacity. If a new dedicated circuit or panel upgrade is required, the project may take a full day. We pull permits as required and schedule inspections so your charger is code-compliant before regular use.

Flickering or dimming when large loads start can indicate voltage drop, loose connections, an undersized panel, or overloaded circuits. Some causes are minor; others signal a safety issue. A licensed electrician can measure voltage, inspect the panel, and recommend repairs or a panel upgrade if your Milpitas home is pulling more power than the system was designed for.
