Replaced our old 100A panel with a 200A and added an EV charger circuit cleanly. Clean work, permits handled, and the price matched the quote exactly. Highly recommend.

Electrical work done to today's NEC — not 1985's.
Lexington Electrical & HVAC is a veteran-owned, Kentucky-licensed electrical contractor handling everything from a tripping breaker to a full 200A service upgrade. Every job is permitted, code-compliant, and installed neatly the first time.
Whether you're adding a Level 2 EV charger, replacing a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, or wiring a remodel, our crew works clean and quotes the price up front. Flexible appointments are available across Fayette, Jessamine, Scott, Woodford, and Madison counties.
Older Central Kentucky homes carry their share of Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, aluminum branch wiring, and undersized 100A services that struggle with modern HVAC, EV chargers, and induction ranges. Every project from Lexington Electrical & HVAC includes a load calculation, a permit, and a final inspection — no shortcuts.
Decision guide
When does your panel need upgrading?
A quick honest framework. We confirm on-site with a load calc and quote the right scope — panel only, sub-panel, or full service upgrade.
| What you see | Our recommendation |
|---|---|
| Panel is 25+ years old | Plan a 200A upgrade — most homes from that era are at or past safe capacity. |
| Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Pushmatic panel | Replace immediately. These brands are known fire hazards and often fail insurance inspections. |
| Breakers trip when AC, dryer, or microwave runs | You're overloaded. Upgrade the panel or add a sub-panel before something burns out. |
| No spare breaker slots left | Sub-panel or service upgrade — required before adding any new dedicated circuit. |
| Adding a Level 2 EV charger | Run a load calc first. Most 100A homes need an upgrade; modern 200A panels usually have room. |
| Adding a heat pump, hot tub, or pool equipment | Upsize to 200A or 400A. New high-draw circuits stress an older panel fast. |
| Burning smell, scorch marks, or buzzing | Shut off the main and call us. This is a 24/7 emergency, not a tomorrow problem. |

Called about flickering lights and a buzzing panel — they got out the next morning, found a loose neutral, and fixed it. Professional, honest, and didn't try to upsell. Will use again.

Whole-house surge protector and a Tesla Wall Connector install. Showed up on time, explained everything, left the garage cleaner than they found it. Couldn't be happier.
