Porchvolt / panel upgrade planning

Prepare for a panel upgrade

A few details you already have can help explain your panel upgrade project. This checklist is optional, and you do not need to inspect electrical equipment to use it.

Request electrical service

Before you request service

Gather what you already know

Use these boxes as personal reminders. Skip anything unknown or unavailable; no photo or panel information is required.

These checkboxes are temporary reminders in this page. They are not saved or sent with a request.

Optional panel photoAn existing photo is fine. If convenient, you may take a photo of the panel’s closed exterior from an ordinary, safe location. Do not move anything to get a photo.
Panel location and known detailsWhere the panel is located, plus its make, model, or capacity only if you already know or have those details recorded. There is no need to inspect it.
Planned equipment or home projectsEquipment or home projects related to the upgrade, with a model or specification if you already have one.
Reason and approximate timingWhat is prompting the upgrade and when you hope to work on it, if you have a timeframe in mind.
Existing plans, estimates, or electrical recordsAny relevant plans, estimates, or home electrical records already available to you.

Electrical safety

No electrical work is needed for this list

You do not need to open a cover, move an obstruction, touch equipment, or make measurements to complete this checklist. Leave electrical evaluation and any work to a qualified electrician.
