How long does a panel upgrade take?
Will my power be off during the upgrade?
Absolutely. Upgrading from 100-amp to 200-amp service is one of the most common improvements homeowners make, especially when adding EV chargers, air conditioning, ADUs, or new appliances. We can also evaluate whether a 400-amp service is appropriate for larger homes or properties with higher electrical demands.
