Not necessarily. It would depend on the condition of the wiring. If it is an older house with cloth covered wires it may be advisable to rewire. If existing wiring is aluminum you might also consider rewiring. Depending on the length of wires that enter the current box, you may need some external junction boxes.

How much to rewire a 1200 sq ft home?
There is no way to price this without knowing a whole lot more about your situation. Call at least 3 electricians and get quotes. If you are re-wiring there is a reason and that reason alone can affect the cost. For example, do you need a new main panel, are you increasing service from the power company, what kinds of walls do you have, is the house 1 or 2 floors, is there an open ceiling basement, do you have a number of dedicated circuits, do your fixtures and receptacles and switches need to be replaced and so forth.
How high does a main breaker panel need to be?
Needs to be convenient to work on. Top of panel should not be higher than eye level unless it is a very large panel. Try to keep the top of the panel at about 65 to 70 inches. ------------------------------ In the United States, the NEC requires that an overcurrent device be installed not higher than 6 feet 7 inches. It's important to remember that when you are looking into a panel, you might not have good lighting and you want to be able to see what you're working with. Placing the panel so that working with branch circuits is comfortable without violating the code is preferable IMO. I'm not writing to disagree with Dave. You will find many panels mounted 65 to 70 inches high. Sometimes, especially in a home, you don't have the room to bring the service conductors into the home and into the panel and mount it higher than that. But it is nice to walk up to a panel and with good light or a flashlight, be able to give the whole thing a good look. ========== Sparkfighter
