When to consider it
Whether your home actually needs a larger service depends on a load calculation, not a rule of thumb. These are common reasons homeowners ask us to evaluate.
EV chargers, heat pumps, hot tubs, or generators may require additional capacity or load management. Whether a service upgrade is needed depends on your existing load — sometimes they can be added without one.
If there's no room to add circuits and a subpanel isn't practical, a service upgrade may be the right path. A load calculation confirms what your service can support.
Some older panels are no longer manufactured or can be difficult to find breakers for. We evaluate the specific equipment on site rather than assuming every older panel needs replacing.
Frequent tripping, discoloration, or heat around the panel should be evaluated by a licensed electrician. These can indicate a problem that needs attention.
A 100-amp service is adequate for many homes. The only way to know whether yours needs an upgrade is a load calculation performed during an on-site evaluation.
Typical scope
The exact scope for your home is confirmed in your written estimate after an on-site evaluation. A typical upgrade includes:
Government, utility and filing fees remain additional unless specifically included in your written estimate.

FAQ
A complete 200-amp service upgrade typically runs around $4,995. Final pricing depends on your existing service, how it enters the home, and the equipment required, and is provided in writing after an on-site evaluation. Permit, utility, inspection and township fees are additional unless specifically included in your written estimate.
Not necessarily. A 100-amp service is adequate for many homes. Whether you need more capacity depends on a load calculation, which we perform during the on-site evaluation. Adding an EV charger, heat pump, hot tub or generator does not automatically require a service upgrade — sometimes these can be added with load management or a dedicated circuit.
Yes. Service changes require an electrical permit and inspection in New Jersey municipalities. We prepare the permit application and coordinate the inspection and utility work as part of the project.
Many residential service upgrades are completed in a single working day, though this varies with the approved scope, existing conditions and utility coordination.
Power will be off for part of the installation. The exact duration depends on the approved scope, existing conditions and utility coordination. We discuss the expected interruption with you before work begins.
