Signs Your Home Needs a Panel Upgrade

  • You still have a fuse box, or a 60 or 100 amp panel
  • Breakers trip often, or lights dim when appliances turn on
  • The panel is full and there is no room for new circuits
  • You are adding central air, a heat pump, an EV charger, a hot tub or a standby generator
  • You are renovating a kitchen, finishing a basement or building an addition
  • The panel is rusted, warm to the touch, or an older brand with a poor safety record

What a Panel Upgrade Includes

We start by looking at your current service, panel and the loads you plan to add. Most homes move to a modern 200 amp panel, which gives room for today’s appliances and future upgrades. The work typically includes the new panel and breakers, updated grounding and bonding, labeling every circuit, and coordinating with the utility and the township inspection when required.

Panel Upgrades for EV Chargers and Generators

Many of our panel upgrades happen alongside an EV charger installation or a standby generator. Planning them together saves time and makes sure your home has the capacity to charge a car and back up the house during outages.

Panel Upgrade FAQs

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most residential panel upgrades are completed in a day, with power off for part of that time. We will tell you what to expect before we start.

Do I need a permit?

Most panel and service upgrades need an electrical permit and inspection. We will explain what your project needs when we give you an estimate.

How much does a panel upgrade cost?

It depends on your current service, where the panel and meter are located, and what you plan to add. We give a clear, written estimate after seeing your setup.
