Panel Upgrades, Breaker Replacement & Sub-Panel Installation
Your electrical panel is the command center of your home.
Every outlet, light fixture, appliance, HVAC unit, EV charger, and generator connects back to one place: your breaker panel. If that panel fails, overheats, or becomes overloaded, your entire home is at risk.
At Platinum Home Services, we provide professional electrical panel repair, panel replacement, breaker installation, and sub-panel upgrades throughout Shreveport, Bossier City, Benton, Blanchard, Haughton, and surrounding communities.
Why Your Electrical Panel Matters
Your panel distributes power safely throughout your home. It also protects your wiring and appliances from overloads and short circuits.
When a panel becomes outdated, damaged, or undersized for modern electrical demand, it can cause:
Frequent breaker trips
Flickering lights
Overheated breakers
Burning smells near the panel
Melted switch handles
Partial power loss
Fire hazards
Modern homes require significantly more power than homes built 20–40 years ago. If your home still operates on 100 amps, has fuses instead of breakers, or contains recalled panel brands, it may be time for an upgrade.
Recalled & Unsafe Panel Brands
If your home has one of the following panels, replacement is strongly recommended:
Federal Pacific (FPE / Stab-Lok)
Zinsco
I-T-E Pushmatic
GTE / Sylvania
These panels have documented safety defects and failure risks. Many insurance providers will not insure homes with these systems.
We inspect and provide safe, code-compliant replacement options.

Circuit Breaker Installation & Replacement
A breaker that keeps tripping is not just annoying — it is protecting you from overload.
We install and replace:
Standard breakers
GFCI breakers
AFCI breakers
Dedicated appliance circuits
High-amperage breakers
Signs your breaker may need replacement:
It will not reset
It feels hot to the touch
You see burn marks
Appliances overheat
The switch handle is loose or melted
If breakers continue to fail, the issue may be panel capacity — not the breaker itself. We diagnose both.
Sub-Panel Installation
Need power in a garage, addition, workshop, or detached building?
A sub-panel allows you to expand safely without overloading your main panel.
Sub-panels are ideal for:
Home additions
Detached garages
Outdoor kitchens
Pool equipment
Workshops
Commercial expansions
Sub-panels improve safety and reduce strain on your primary system.
When Should You Upgrade Your Panel?
You should consider an upgrade if:
Your home was built before 2000
Your panel is 20–30+ years old
You have under 200 amps
Breakers trip frequently
Lights dim when appliances start
You are installing an EV charger
You are installing a standby generator
You are renovating your kitchen
Modern electrical demand continues to rise. Your panel must match your usage.
Why Panel Replacement Costs Vary
Electrical panels are not simple devices. Cost depends on:
Amperage required
Rewiring needs
Utility connection type
Meter relocation
Code updates required
Sub-panel additions
We provide clear, upfront options so you understand the scope before work begins.
Prevention Through Inspection
Many panel failures are preventable.
Our Platinum Whole Home Protection Plan (Platinum Club Membership) includes annual electrical inspection of your meter, panel, and complete electrical system.
We check for:
Fire risks
Loose connections
Load imbalance
Panel overheating
Code compliance issues
Prevention costs far less than emergency replacement.
