Electrical Panel Installation and Service Upgrades
What is an electrical service upgrade and why is it needed?
An electrical service upgrade increases your home’s power capacity by replacing outdated electrical panels and wiring. This allows your home to safely support today’s electrical demands, including new appliances, home renovations, and modern additions like electric vehicle chargers. Upgrading your service can also help prevent common electrical problems such as frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, and potential fire hazards.
Many older homes were built with 100-amp service, which may no longer be sufficient for modern living. Upgrading to 200-amp service improves safety, efficiency, and reliability while ensuring your electrical system meets current code requirements and is ready for future electrification needs
Common Reasons You May Need an Electrical Service Upgrade
