Can I install my own electrical panel?
Yes. Electrical panels age along with your home, and there will probably come a time where you either need a new one or have to upgrade the one you already own. While the easiest route may seem to do all the hard work yourself, it may be better to leave a procedure like this in the hands of a professional.

How do you wire a main breaker panel?
Insert the two main lines from the electrical supply pole into the two terminals at the top of the breaker box. Tighten the lugs with either a slotted screwdriver or an Allen wrench.
