Panel and electrical service upgrades in Charlotte
A panel upgrade is more than replacing a box. The service size, grounding, bonding, exterior equipment, conductor routing and utility requirements all need to work together. We evaluate the existing installation and define the complete scope before scheduling the work.

When an upgrade may be needed

Frequently asked questions
Do I automatically need a 200-amp service?
No. The right service size depends on the home and its calculated electrical load. We review the project requirements before recommending an upgrade.
Will power be shut off?
Yes, service work normally requires a planned outage. We explain the expected sequence and coordinate required utility and inspection steps.
Can you add surge protection at the same time?
Yes. Whole-home surge protection can often be included with a panel or service project.
