Understanding 200 Amp Electrical Panel Upgrade
This is a specific type of upgrade defined by amperage, moving your electrical service from a lower capacity (commonly 60 or 100 amps) up to 200 amps, the standard for most modern homes.
This is specifically about reaching 200 amp service, often required before adding major electrical loads like an EV charger, an electric range, or a heat pump system.
What to Expect During the Upgrade
This typically requires more than just swapping the panel box. We assess your current service size, calculate the load you need for 200 amps, and coordinate with your utility company since the service line and meter may also need upgrading. The old panel is removed, a new 200 amp panel is installed, circuits are reconnected and tested, and permits and inspection are handled as part of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and property managers.
How do I know if I have 100 amp or 200 amp service?
Your main breaker, usually the largest breaker at the top of your panel, is labeled with its amperage. Our electricians can also confirm this during a free assessment.
Do I need 200 amps for an EV charger?
Many EV chargers can run on a 100 amp panel if there’s enough spare capacity, but many older homes don’t have that headroom once other appliances are factored in.
Does this require coordinating with my utility company?
Often, yes, since the service line and meter may need to be upgraded. We handle that coordination as part of the project.
How long does a 200 amp upgrade take?
Timing depends on whether utility coordination and service line work are needed in addition to the panel swap itself.
