Service Upgrades
Older homes were often wired for a fraction of the power a modern household uses. We handle service upgrades that raise your home's incoming capacity so everything from the kitchen to the garage runs without overloading the system.
What this involves.
A service upgrade increases the amount of power your home can draw from the utility, which matters when you are adding appliances, an addition, an EV charger, or just outgrowing an older setup. We evaluate your current service, recommend the right capacity, and upgrade the meter base, service entrance, and panel as needed. We coordinate with the utility on the disconnect and reconnect, pull the required permits, and handle the inspection. The result is a home that can power modern loads safely, without nuisance trips or strained wiring, and with room left for what you add next.
