Panel Upgrades: Powering Modern Homes
From EV chargers to smart home systems, your electrical panel may need an upgrade.
What is a Panel Upgrade?
A panel upgrade increases your home's electrical capacity by replacing or upgrading your main electrical panel. Most homes built before 2000 have 100-amp panels, but modern homes with EV chargers, heat pumps, and smart systems often need 200-amp service or higher.
Why EV Chargers Need Panel Upgrades
A Tesla Wall Connector draws 40-48 amps of power—more than most older panels can safely provide alongside your home's existing electrical load. A panel upgrade ensures your charger operates safely and efficiently without overloading your system.
Signs Your Home Needs an Upgrade
- Frequent breaker trips or blown fuses
- Outdated fuse box or 100-amp service
- High electrical demand (EV charger, heat pump, new appliances)
- Dimming lights when major appliances turn on
- Planning to install an EV charger
