Why Relocate an Electrical Panel?
There are several situations where relocating your electrical panel is not only beneficial — it may be necessary:
Remodeling or Adding Rooms: Home renovations usually involve tearing down walls and changing the layout. Many families consider basements and garages home. If your existing electrical panel is installed on a wall that will be ripped out or remodeled into a livable space, it will have to be relocated.
Outdated or Non-Compliant Panels: Older homes in Plymouth are likely to have panels that were perfectly up to code at one time, but do not fulfill today’s requirements of the NEC, the National Electrical Code. An outdated, improperly grounded panel installed in an unapproved location—such as inside a bathroom or closet—can create significant safety hazards.
Inconvenient Placement: Some electrical panels sit in the wrong place — maybe on a kitchen backsplash, in a hallway, or inside a finished living area. Moving that panel to a utility room, garage, or basement makes it easier to get at and gives back some important square footage.
Real Estate Value and Inspections: If you sell your house, the home inspector can easily flag any non-compliant or poorly located panel and slow down your process. Properly relocating it will add value to resale and give future buyers more peace of mind.
Improved Safety: Bringing your panel to modern code standards minimizes fire risk, electrical shock, and power issues.
Optimized Space: When you move a panel out of sight, it frees up some space that you can use for cabinets, storage, or even
Better Access for Repairs & Upgrades: A properly positioned panel makes it easier for electricians to maintain and upgrade your electrical system in the future.
Why You Need a Licensed Professional for Panel Relocation
Relocating an electrical panel is not a DIY job. This project involves:
- Detaching and redirecting live electrical service.
- Code-compliant clearance, grounding, and access.
- Pulling permits and passing final inspection.
- MA-specific regulations and safety protocols.
Improper relocation could result in fire hazards, code violations, or failed inspections and void your homeowner’s insurance policy.
