Why Bossier City homes need panel upgrades

A lot of Bossier City homes — especially in South Bossier, Plantation Park, and the older neighborhoods off Airline — still run on 100-amp panels from the 1970s. That's not enough for today's central AC, electric dryer, dishwasher, EV charger, and full kitchen of countertop appliances. Symptoms: breakers trip when two big loads run, lights dim when the AC starts, a panel that's full with no room for another circuit, or scorched breaker faces.

We upgrade to 200A in a single day. The job includes a new main breaker, new panel and bus, new meter base if needed, code-required whole-home surge protection (NEC 230.67), a new ground rod, bonding to incoming water, and re-termination of every branch circuit. We pull the permit with the City of Bossier City and Bossier Parish, coordinate the SWEPCO disconnect/reconnect, and meet the inspector on site.

Do you pull the permit with the City of Bossier City?

Will my insurance require replacing my Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel?
