Price

What drives the cost of electrical panel upgrade in Lake Orion

  • Panel replacement only versus a full service size increase
  • Overhead versus underground service and meter location
  • Condition of existing branch circuits reconnected to the new panel
  • Required AFCI and GFCI breakers
  • Moving the panel out of a bathroom, closet or other location that no longer complies
  • Grounding and bonding corrections
  • Utility scheduling and any work needed on the service drop or mast
  • The age of the home: the typical Lake Orion home was built around 1959, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Lake Orion

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Lake Orion was built around 1959. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

51% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Lake Orion building department before work starts.
