Panel Upgrades

100A-to-200A service upgrades, subpanels, meter bases, and service masts — the backbone work that makes everything else possible.

If your home still runs on a 100A panel — or a crowded, breaker-stuffed 150A — an upgrade to 200A service gives you the headroom for an EV charger, a heat pump, an induction range, or a workshop subpanel without juggling loads.

We handle the whole chain: utility coordination with Duke Energy or Dominion, meter base and service mast replacement where needed, the new panel, clean labeling, and the inspection. We also replace recalled and known-problem panels (Federal Pacific, Zinsco) that insurers increasingly flag.

  • Main panel replacement and breaker reorganization
  • Subpanels for garages, shops, additions, and ADUs

FAQ

Common questions

How do I know if my panel needs upgrading?

Common signs: a 100A main, fuses instead of breakers, no room for new circuits, breakers that trip when two big appliances run, or plans to add an EV charger or heat pump. We confirm with a load calculation, not guesswork.

How long is the power off during a panel upgrade?

Typically most of one working day. We coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect so the outage window is as short as possible, and we tell you the schedule in advance.

Will a panel upgrade pass inspection in my county?

Yes — that's the point. We pull the permit with your county or city AHJ and the work is inspected before the job is closed out.
