Panels & power
Your panel determines what your home can safely run at once.
Older 100-amp panels, fuse boxes, and recalled panel brands often cannot support modern electrical loads safely.
A load calculation distinguishes a real capacity problem from one that can be solved with better circuit planning.
- Frequent tripping or breakers that will not reset
- Flickering under large loads
- Fuse boxes and 60-100 amp service
- EV, battery, or appliance additions
Panels & power
The project includes the work around the panel too.
Service entrance equipment, grounding, meter work, and utility disconnects can affect the scope and cost.
We plan those dependencies before work begins, then handle permitting and inspection through completion.
- Panel and compatible breakers
- Grounding and code-required protection
- Utility disconnect and reconnect coordination
- Permit and final inspection
Common questions
How much does a 200-amp panel upgrade cost?
Most 100A-to-200A upgrades run $1,500-$4,000 depending on service entrance, meter work, and utility coordination.
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always. A load calculation confirms whether your existing service has sufficient capacity.
Will power be off during the upgrade?
Yes, usually for several hours while the panel is replaced and tested.
