Electrical panel upgrade or service upgrade? They’re not always the same thing.
A panel upgrade involves replacing your home’s electrical panel, often because it’s outdated, damaged, or running out of space for new circuits.
A service upgrade increases the electrical capacity available to your home, such as going from 100 to 200 amps. This typically involves replacing service equipment and coordinating with the utility.
Planning to add a heat pump, EV charger, or other electrical equipment? Depending on your existing system, you may need a panel upgrade, a service upgrade, both, or neither.
Our MSS Electric team can evaluate your existing equipment and perform a load calculation to help determine what’s needed.
