Electrical Panel Frequently Asked Questions

Can a SPAN Panel work with solar, batteries, or EV charging?

Yes — Smart Electrical Panels are built for electrification. They support:

  • Tesla Powerwall and Franklin aPower
  • Level 1 and Level 2 EV chargers
  • Solar + storage systems
  • Battery backup extensions up to 40%

Our technicians verify compatibility during your estimate.

Can you replace just my main breaker instead of the entire panel?

Yes — if the issue is isolated to the breaker. However, replacement may require:

  • Panel age verification
  • Brand compatibility
  • Full safety inspection
  • Load calculation

If the panel is outdated or unsafe, replacing the entire panel may be recommended.

How long will my electrical panel last?

Typical lifespan:

  • Traditional panels: 25–40 years
  • SPAN Panels: Upgraded long-term through OTA improvements

Signs your panel may be failing include:

  • Burning smell
  • Breakers that won’t reset
  • Corrosion
  • Buzzing or warmth
  • Scorch marks
  • Frequent tripping
What happens during a panel upgrade appointment?

Your upgrade includes:

  • Load assessment and safety check
  • Removal of the old panel
  • Installation of new panel, breakers, and labeling
  • Grounding and bonding verification
  • Utility disconnect/reconnect
  • SPAN commissioning (if applicable)
  • Final inspection

You receive photos, inspection results, and all documentation.

Do electrical panels require maintenance?

Yes, periodic inspection ensures long-term safety and reliability. Recommended maintenance includes:

  • Torque checks
  • Heat discoloration checks
  • Breaker testing
  • Grounding/bonding verification
  • SPAN firmware updates (if applicable)

M Membership plans are available for electrical systems as well.

What warranties come with electrical panel installations?

Every installation includes:

  • 1-year installation craftsmanship guarantee
  • Manufacturer warranty:
  • Siemens PL Series – Lifetime parts warranty
  • SPAN Panel – 10-year panel warranty + 5-year gateway warranty

We register your warranties and include documentation in your customer binder.

Do you offer financing for electrical panel upgrades?

Yes. Mechollage offers financing through Lend Home Improvements (Momnt) and other approved lenders. Options include:

  • $0 down
  • Low monthly payments
  • 0% promotional financing
  • Flexible terms based on credit

All applications are processed securely through approved lending partners.

Can I install an EV charger without upgrading my panel?

In many cases, yes.

SPAN PowerUp™ allows homeowners to add EV chargers, heat pumps, and other large loads without needing a full service upgrade. Traditional panels may still require:

  • Load calculations
  • A sub-panel
  • A service upgrade if capacity is limited

We evaluate your home during the estimate to determine the safest option.

What brands of electrical panels does Mechollage install?

We install and service major residential panel brands, including:

  • SPAN (authorized installers only)
  • Siemens (PL & ES Series)
  • Square D HOM
  • Eaton/Bryant BR
  • GE/ABB

We can also install SPAN-compatible breakers for mixed-brand setups.

Do you handle permits and code compliance?

Yes. Every project includes:

  • Full permitting
  • NEC-compliant installation
  • Grounding and bonding verification
  • Load calculations
  • Utility coordination (if needed)
  • Final inspection scheduling

You receive documentation and inspection results upon completion.

How long does electrical panel installation take?

Most installations take:

  • 4–8 hours for standard panels
  • 6–10 hours for SPAN Smart Panels

The full process may include permit approval, utility coordination, and inspection scheduling. Mechollage handles everything to ensure a smooth installation.

What size electrical panel does my home need?

The correct panel size depends on your home’s electrical load:

  • 100A – Older/smaller homes with limited appliances
  • 150A – Medium homes with moderate loads
  • 200A – Most modern homes, EV chargers, heat pumps
  • SPAN Smart Panels – Ideal for homes planning solar, batteries, or full electrification

We perform a custom load calculation to ensure proper sizing that meets NEC and local building code.

What’s the difference between a traditional panel and a SPAN smart panel?

A SPAN Smart Panel offers:

  • Circuit-by-circuit monitoring and control
  • Real-time energy usage insights
  • Up to 40% longer battery backup duration
  • Load management to avoid electrical service upgrades
  • App-based control for every circuit
  • Automatic software updates

Traditional panels provide safe power distribution but do not include monitoring, optimization, automation, or smart-home capabilities.

How do I know if I need an electrical panel upgrade?

Most homeowners need an electrical panel upgrade when experiencing:

  • Flickering lights
  • Frequently tripping breakers
  • A warm or buzzing panel
  • New high-demand appliances (EV chargers, heat pumps, hot tubs)
  • Home additions or major renovations
  • Outdated fuse boxes or 100A panels

Our technicians perform a full load assessment and safety evaluation to confirm whether an upgrade is required.

What areas does Mechollage service for electrical panel installations?

We proudly serve homeowners across:

  • Virginia Beach
  • Chesapeake
  • Norfolk
  • Portsmouth
  • Suffolk

We do not service Hampton or Newport News, allowing our team to maintain fast response times within our core Southside communities.
