My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Upgraded panel question

13 years ago

House is 60 years old. Electrical has been upgraded, grounded etc. I noticed with the panel that the old GE panel housing was used for the new breakers and new cover.

Is it standard or strange to see the old housing of the panel used with new guts and cover?
