Safe, Reliable Power Starts at the Panel
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. A panel or service upgrade provides the capacity, safety, and reliability needed to support today’s appliances, EV chargers, and modern electrical demands.
Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades FAQs
How do I know if I need an electrical panel upgrade?
1
Common signs include an older or outdated panel, frequently tripping breakers, limited space for new circuits, insufficient electrical capacity, or plans to add high-demand equipment such as an EV charger, electric appliances, or HVAC equipment.
What is the difference between a panel upgrade and a service upgrade?
2
A panel upgrade typically involves replacing or modernizing the electrical panel, while a service upgrade may also increase the amount of power available to the property, such as upgrading from a 100-amp to a 200-amp service.
Do I need a permit for a panel or service upgrade?
3
In most cases, yes. Electrical panel and service upgrades typically require a permit and inspection to ensure the installation meets current electrical and local code requirements.
Should I upgrade to a 200-amp electrical service?
4
It depends on your home’s existing service, electrical load, and future plans. Homes adding EV charging, electric appliances, HVAC equipment, or other large electrical loads may benefit from additional capacity. A load calculation can help determine what your home requires.

1
Most homeowners choose a Level 2 charger for faster, more convenient everyday charging. We can help determine the right charger and electrical setup based on your vehicle, driving needs, and existing electrical system.
Can my electrical panel handle an EV charger?
2
It depends on your panel’s capacity and the existing electrical load. We’ll evaluate your system to determine whether it can safely support the charger or if an electrical upgrade or alternative solution is needed.
Can you install a charger that I already purchased?
3
Yes. We can install many customer-provided EV chargers, provided the equipment is appropriate for your vehicle and electrical system.
Will I need to upgrade my electrical panel?
4
Not always. Some homes already have enough electrical capacity for EV charging. If additional capacity is needed, we can discuss options such as a panel/service upgrade or other code-compliant solutions.
