Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?

Signs you may need a panel upgrade include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, a full or outdated panel, adding EV charging, installing new appliances, or planning a remodel. Homes with 100 AMP service often require upgrades to support modern energy demands.

What’s the difference between a panel upgrade and a service upgrade?

A panel upgrade replaces your existing breaker panel. A service upgrade increases your home’s electrical capacity (for example, upgrading from 100 AMP to 200 AMP), which may include replacing the panel, meter socket, and service wiring.

Is upgrading to 200 AMP worth it?

For many homeowners, yes. A 200 AMP panel provides additional capacity for EV chargers, HVAC systems, kitchen remodels, and future electrical expansions — helping prevent overloads and improving long-term reliability.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most residential panel upgrades can be completed in one day. Service upgrades involving utility coordination may take longer, depending on permitting and scheduling requirements.
