Quick Answers for NYC Customers
Who LED Electricians helps
LED Electricians Tech helps NYC homeowners, landlords, tenants, property managers, supers, multifamily buildings, storefronts, offices, and commercial properties across all five boroughs.
What problems this service solves
A panel assessment helps determine whether damaged equipment, limited breaker space, or planned electrical loads call for a repair, panel replacement, or a broader service upgrade. Tell us what is changing at the property so the review addresses your actual needs.
When to call a licensed electrician
Call a licensed electrician when electrical equipment is damaged, breakers keep tripping, lights flicker, outlets feel warm, a violation is issued, new equipment is being added, or the work may affect panels, meters, service equipment, or building wiring.
What to send before an estimate
Send the property address, building type, current service size if known, safe photos of the panel and meter area, planned EV charger, HVAC, kitchen, tenant, commercial, or renovation loads, and any DOB or Con Edison documents.
How the NYC process works
The process starts with intake and field review, then moves to diagnosis, load or equipment review where needed, scope recommendation, DOB filing or Con Edison coordination where applicable, installation, inspection, and closeout.
When DOB permits may be required
DOB electrical filing may be required when the scope involves regulated electrical work, service equipment, panel or riser work, commercial electrical changes, larger upgrades, or correction work that must be documented. Requirements depend on the property and scope.
When Con Edison coordination may be required
Con Edison coordination may be required when work affects utility service, meters, service capacity, service layout, disconnects, or added load. Utility approval is subject to Con Edison review and cannot be promised before coordination.
What customers should avoid
Do not keep resetting tripping breakers, touch exposed wiring, open energized service equipment, hire unlicensed labor for regulated work, skip required permits, or assume a panel replacement automatically increases utility service capacity.
When a panel upgrade is needed
A panel upgrade may be needed for damaged equipment, obsolete breakers, insufficient spaces, renovation work, EV charger planning, HVAC equipment, or recurring panel problems. Field verification is required before scope is confirmed.
- Damaged or outdated panel
- Renovation and appliance loads
- EV charger or HVAC planning
- Breaker and circuit organization
Panel capacity vs service capacity
A new panel does not automatically increase utility service capacity. The service entrance, meter equipment, main disconnect, grounding, bonding, and calculated load must be reviewed.
- Panel rating review
- Existing service review
- Load calculation
- Meter and disconnect coordination
DOB and inspection considerations
Panel work may require DOB electrical filing depending on scope and property conditions. Permit and inspection steps should be reviewed before work begins.
- DOB filing where required
- Inspection planning
- Code-aware installation
- Owner documentation

What we check before recommending a panel upgrade
We review panel condition, breaker space, existing service capacity, connected loads, and planned equipment before recommending repair, panel replacement, or a broader service upgrade. A panel replacement does not automatically increase utility service capacity.
- Existing service amperage
- Existing panel condition
- Meter pan condition
- Service entrance conductors
- Grounding and bonding
- Main disconnect condition
- Planned future electrical loads
- Existing DOB or electrical violations
- Con Edison service availability
- DOB permit requirements
- Space for new equipment
- Tenant or business downtime concerns
- EV charger or HVAC plans
- Commercial equipment loads
What We Do Not Guess
Service work affects safety, utility coordination, permits, inspections, and future property use. We do not shortcut the review process.
- We do not guess service size from square footage alone.
- We do not promise Con Edison approval before review.
- We do not promise DOB approval before filing and inspection.
- We do not recommend 200 amp or 400 amp service without checking the load.
- We do not treat meter or service equipment like interior panel-only work.
- We do not ignore grounding and bonding.
- We do not reuse damaged, corroded, unsafe or undersized equipment where replacement is required.
- We do not perform unsafe shortcuts to avoid permits or utility coordination.

Electrical panel permit and utility considerations
Panel work may require DOB electrical filing and inspection depending on the scope and property conditions. Con Edison coordination may be needed when service capacity, meter equipment, service layout, or utility-side work is affected. Requirements must be confirmed for the specific property and proposed work.
For general planning, review the NYC DOB electrical-permit guidance, NYC DOB electrical-project requirements for owners, and the Con Edison Building & Remodeling Project Center. Requirements and utility coordination depend on the specific property and approved scope.
Electrical Panel Upgrade NYC FAQs
Can I upgrade my panel without upgrading service?
Sometimes. The existing service and load must be reviewed before deciding.
Does a bigger panel give me more power?
Not by itself. Utility service capacity and load calculation matter.
Do panel upgrades need permits in NYC?
They may, depending on scope and conditions.
Can a panel upgrade support an EV charger?
Sometimes, but panel and service capacity must be checked first.
Do you review grounding and bonding during panel work?
Yes. Grounding and bonding should be reviewed as part of safe panel planning.

Call or send the property address, building type, current service size if known, planned electrical loads, and safe photos of the closed panel and meter area. We review the information to determine whether the next step is repair, panel replacement, or broader service planning. Do not remove panel covers or approach damaged equipment to take photos.
Do not perform unpermitted or unsafe service work. If there are downed wires, smoke, fire, burning smell, shock hazard, or immediate danger, call 911 and/or Con Edison emergency service first.
