Thinking about upgrading your electrical service or replacing your electrical panel?
A service upgrade is when your home’s main electrical service is upgraded to safely handle more power. This often means going from an older 60 amp or 100 amp service to a modern 200 amp service.
A panel upgrade is when your outdated, overloaded, rusted, unsafe, or undersized electrical panel is replaced with a newer panel that meets today’s electrical needs and code requirements.
So why does this matter?
Older electrical systems were not built for today’s homes. Between EV chargers, hot tubs, HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, home offices, finished basements, and everyday electronics, your electrical system may be working harder than it was ever designed to.
You may need a service or panel upgrade if you have:
⚡ Flickering lights
⚡ Breakers that trip often
⚡ An old fuse box
⚡ A Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Challenger, or Pushmatic panel
⚡ A panel that is full or overcrowded
⚡ Plans to install an EV charger, hot tub, addition, or major appliance
⚡ An older home with outdated electrical service
