Do I need a 200 amp panel?

If you are adding an EV charger, electric heat, or a large addition, almost always yes. We size the service to your real loads plus room to grow, not a guess.

Is a Federal Pacific panel really a problem?

Yes. Those breakers have a documented history of failing to trip under fault. That is a fire risk. Replacing it is one of the highest-value electrical upgrades you can make.

Your panel is the heart of the house. A 100 amp panel wired in the 1980s was never meant to run a modern kitchen, a heat pump, an EV charger, and a shop out back. Upgrade it to 200 amp and you stop fighting for capacity every time you add a circuit.

We pull the permit, coordinate the utility disconnect, set the new panel, land every circuit clean and labeled, and get it inspected. You end up with headroom, a clear directory, and work that passes the first time.

FAQ

Panel Upgrades questions

Straight answers. If you do not see yours, call us and ask.

Most residential upgrades are a one-day job. There is a power-off window while we swap the panel and the utility reconnects. We schedule it so you are down for the shortest time possible.
