1. Panel Inspection & Diagnostic Testing
We begin every job with a detailed inspection. Our electricians will:
-
Evaluate the condition of the panel interior, wiring, bus bars, and breaker connections
-
Use thermal imaging and specialized tools to detect hotspots or weak connections
-
Perform load analysis to see if the panel is overloaded
-
Check for code violations, loose connections, corrosion, or signs of arcing
This inspection gives us a clear diagnosis and lets us provide you with a transparent repair plan.
Why the Electrical Panel Matters
Your electrical panel (also called the breaker panel, load center, or distribution board) is where incoming power is divided into branch circuits. It houses circuit breakers or fuses that protect wiring and devices in your home. When your panel fails, the consequences range from nuisance (frequent breaker trips) to serious safety hazards (overheating, arcing, fire risk).
Common signs that your panel is in trouble include:
-
Buzzing, humming, or crackling noises coming from the panel
-
Burning odors, scorch marks, or visible signs of overheating
-
Breakers that trip repeatedly or won’t reset
-
Flickering or dimming lights when large appliances turn on
-
Inability to add new circuits or devices (e.g. no capacity for an EV charger)
-
A panel more than 20–30 years old, or one built with outdated components
Ignoring any of these signs can increase the risk of system failure or fire hazards. That’s why timely diagnosis and repair are essential.

Common Questions from Indio Residents
Do I need a permit for panel repair or replacement?
Yes. In Indio and Riverside County, most electrical panel work requires permits and inspections to ensure code compliance and safety. As your contractor, we facilitate the permitting process so you don’t have to worry.
Can I just upgrade part of my panel (vs. full replacement)?
In many cases yes — if your existing panel is in good structural condition and only a few components are failing. We evaluate this possibility during diagnosis and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
How much does panel repair or replacement cost in Indio?
Costs depend on the extent of repair, the panel’s capacity, and code requirements. Local firms in the area often quote upgrades in the range of $1,500 to $4,000 or more, depending on complexity.
Repairs (rather than replacement) tend to be substantially less.
How long will the repair or upgrade take?
Simple repairs may take just a few hours. A full replacement, including permitting and inspection time, can span a full day or more. We’ll provide an accurate timeline during your estimate.
Is panel repair dangerous?
Yes. Live electrical work carries serious risks. That’s why panel repairs should never be attempted by unlicensed individuals. Our professionals follow strict safety protocols, use insulated tools, and work under lockout/tagout procedures.
How often should my panel be inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection every 3–5 years, or whenever your electricity usage changes (e.g. adding major appliances, EV charger, home remodel).

I had a fantastic experience with Sunny Air Conditioning. Edwin, the technician, was exceptional! He arrived on time, was extremely professional, and did a thorough job servicing our air conditioning units. He went above and beyond by increasing the temperature on the upstairs thermostat to ensure optimal comfort throughout our home. Edwin's attention to detail and friendly demeanor made the entire process smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend Sunny Air Conditioning for their excellent service and knowledgeable staff.
