Electrical panel upgrades and replacements
Code-compliant Zinsco and Challenger panel upgrades or replacements
Is your insurance company requiring an electrical panel upgrade? Homeowners and property managers across Orangevale are receiving notices that their outdated panels, especially legacy brands like Zinsco and Challenger, no longer meet insurance underwriting standards. These panels, known for safety concerns and code violations, are increasingly flagged during inspections, leading to policy cancellations or non-renewal notices.
We specialize in insurance-required panel upgrades for single-family homes, duplexes, fourplexes, condominiums, and multi-family dwellings. As a Zinsco and Challenger panel specialist, we understand the unique challenges these legacy systems present and provide complete, code-compliant replacements that satisfy insurance requirements and restore your coverage eligibility.

Testimonials
Reviews from our customers
- Friendly, honest, tidy, and timely
“I used electric Connection to run power to our new spa The main box was further away and John did a beautiful job. John is friendly, honest, tidy and timely. All the things we all love when hiring someone to come work on our home. I would recommend and I'll hire them again in the future! AAA+++”
Marie F.Yelp - Sacramento, CA - Honest and 100% accountable
"John and his crew are amazing! Reasonably priced, honest and 100% accountable. They do what they say they will do every time, and within the given timeframe. I have used them before for small jobs and was always pleased. The whole house re-wire (1932 knob & tube wiring replaced) went very well, even with an old lath & plaster house with weird old add-on structures that caused some extra labor. We couldn’t be happier with the job that was done."
Peggy G.Angi - Orangevale, CA - John was quick to respond
John was recommended to me by a friend... I'm so glad! Though my problem was simple, John was quick to respond, gracious, quick to fix the problem and with most fair pricing! I'd unhesitatingly recommend this company any time!!!
