An electrical service upgrade involves increasing the capacity of your home’s electrical system—typically by replacing an old panel (like 60 or 100 amps) with a modern 200-amp service. This allows your home to safely handle today’s higher power demands from appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, and more.
Upgrades usually include installing a new breaker panel, upgrading the meter base, and sometimes replacing the service mast or wiring from the utility. The goal is to improve safety, reliability, and future capacity.
Common reasons to upgrade:
- Adding major loads (hot tubs, EV chargers, air conditioning)
- Renovations or basement developments
- Outdated or unsafe panels
Overall, a service upgrade is a smart investment that brings your electrical system up to modern standards, reduces fire risk, and ensures your home can handle future electrical needs.
