What Is an Electrical Panel Upgrade?
An electrical panel upgrade, also referred to as an electrical service upgrade, increases your property’s electrical capacity to support today’s appliances and technology.
This typically involves:
- Replacing an outdated breaker panel
- Increasing amperage (100A to 200A or higher)
- Upgrading service conductors and grounding
- Ensuring full compliance with current electrical codes
A properly upgraded panel ensures your home can safely power EV chargers, heat pumps, air conditioning systems, and modern appliances.
Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
- Frequent breaker trips
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Reliance on extension cords and power strips
