An undersized or recalled panel limits everything you want to add — EV chargers, new HVAC, a hot tub. Upgrade to a safe, modern 200-amp panel with a licensed local electrician.
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's power — and in thousands of Casper-area homes it's either undersized, worn out, or a known fire hazard. If your home was built before the 1990s and still has its original panel, it was designed for a fraction of today's loads: no EV chargers, no home offices, no 4-ton heat pumps fighting August humidity.
Two panel brands deserve special attention: Federal Pacific Electric (Stab-Lok) and Zinsco both installed widely in Wyoming homes from the 1950s through the 1980s. Independent testing showed FPE breakers can fail to trip during an overload — the panel keeps feeding a fault that should have been cut off. If you have either brand, replacement isn't an upsell; it's the single most important electrical safety upgrade you can make.

Most 200-amp panel upgrades in the Casper area run $1,800–$3,500, depending on whether the meter base, service entrance cable or mast also needs replacement. Wind-exposed homes sometimes need heavier-duty exterior hardware. You'll get a firm written quote after an on-site assessment.
Yes. Federal Pacific Stab-Lok breakers have a documented failure-to-trip problem — in overload and short-circuit tests, a significant percentage never cut power. Many insurance companies now refuse to write or renew policies on homes with FPE panels. If yours is original to a 1960s–80s Casper home, replacement is strongly recommended.
A straightforward panel swap typically takes 4–8 hours with power off to the home. Service upgrades involving the meter base or mast may take a full day and require coordination with Wyoming Power for the disconnect and reconnect.
Often both. Insurers increasingly surcharge or decline homes with FPE/Zinsco panels or fuse boxes, and home inspectors flag them in nearly every Casper resale. A new 200-amp panel removes that objection and documents capacity for future buyers.
