When You May Need a Panel or Service Upgrade

Many older homes and commercial buildings were not designed to handle today’s electrical demands.

You may need an upgrade if:

• Your breakers trip frequently
• You still have a fuse box
• You’re renovating or adding new appliances
• You’re installing a hot tub or EV charger
• Your panel is full with no room for new circuits
• Lights flicker when major appliances run
• You’re upgrading from 100 amp to 200 amp service

We assess your system and recommend only what’s necessary to safely support your electrical needs.

What’s the Difference Between a Panel Upgrade and a Service Upgrade?

Panel Upgrade
A panel upgrade involves replacing or expanding your electrical panel to safely distribute power throughout your property.

This may include:

• Replacing outdated breaker panels
• Adding additional circuit capacity
• Installing modern breakers
• Improving electrical safety and reliability

Service Upgrade
A service upgrade increases the amount of power supplied to your property from the utility.

This is often required when:

• Homes expand or undergo major renovations
• New high-demand equipment is installed
• Existing service capacity is no longer sufficient

We determine whether a panel upgrade alone is enough or if a full service upgrade is required.
