Panel Relocation Service

Move your distribution box to a better location

About Our Panel Relocation Service

Madison Electric moves distribution boxes to different locations that improve accessibility, comply with code requirements, or accommodate property modifications. Our panel relocation service handles situations where current placement violates clearance rules, interferes with renovations, or creates access problems. We plan the new location carefully considering code requirements and circuit routing, extend or reroute necessary conductors, and complete the move with minimal service disruption.
Your distribution box must remain accessible while meeting distance requirements from various building features. Our electricians evaluate proposed new locations for code compliance before beginning work. We disconnect service safely, relocate the equipment, extend all circuits to reach the new position, and restore power once everything is properly connected and inspected.

When You Should Consider Panel Relocation

Panel Blocks Access or Obstructs Walkways

If the electrical panel is located where it hinders movement or access, relocating improves safety and convenience.

Panel Located in Unsuitable Space

A panel in a bathroom, basement prone to flooding, or near heat sources can pose hazards — relocation to a safer spot protects your system and household.

Upgrading for Convenience

For easier maintenance or future upgrades, moving the panel to a more accessible or centralized location makes sense.

Panel Not Compliant with Current Clearance

If the current panel location fails to meet legal clearance or safety regulations, relocation ensures your installation meets code.

Adding New Circuits but Space Around Panel Is Limited

When the area around the panel doesn’t allow expansion or new wiring, relocating gives room for upgrades.

Reducing Risk of Physical Damage to Panel

If the panel sits in a high‑traffic spot or near doors/garage — where it can get bumped or damaged — relocation reduces risk.

Improving Emergency Access or Safety During Power Issues

Having the panel in a clear, accessible area helps in emergencies for quick shut‑off or maintenance.

Enhancing Property Layout or Home Aesthetics

Relocating the panel to a less visible location helps keep your home layout clean without compromising safety.
