I am planning to upgrade a service panel. In the past I have always done this from a new wall so there were no issues with wires or getting to the circuits.
This time I need to replace an existing panel. I would like to pull the existing circuits out of the old box and move them to the new box however the wires are not long enough. I do not want to break into walls and find the first Jbox in the chain the replace the wire and the old service is in such poor shape that I do not want to use is as a subpanel.
This must come up all the time with service panel replacements or upgrades.
Question, how do you extend the individual circuits to get the extra 3 to 5 feet of wire to connect to the new service?
