In need of electrical panel upgrades?
At R&J Brothers Electric LLC, we specialize in electrical panel upgrades and panel replacements for residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re dealing with an outdated 100-amp panel, adding new equipment, or planning future upgrades, we can help ensure your electrical system has the capacity and reliability you need.
Your electrical panel is the heart of your property’s electrical system. As homes and businesses add more appliances, electronics, HVAC equipment, electric vehicle chargers, and other power-hungry devices, older electrical panels can struggle to keep up with modern demands.
How Do I Know If I Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade?
Many older homes and buildings were originally equipped with 100-amp electrical service. While that may have been sufficient years ago, modern electrical demands often require additional capacity.
Frequent breaker trips, limited space for new circuits, flickering lights, overloaded panels, and plans for major electrical additions may all indicate that an upgrade is needed.
What to expect during an
An electrical panel upgrade starts with evaluating your current equipment and determining how much electrical capacity your property requires. We consider existing circuits along with planned additions such as new appliances, HVAC equipment, renovations, EV chargers, generators, or other electrical improvements.
Once we’ve determined that an upgrade is appropriate, the project moves into planning and permitting so the work complies with applicable requirements. The existing panel can then be safely disconnected and removed before the new equipment is installed. After installation, the system is tested and checked before the project is completed.
For some properties, this may involve upgrading an older 100-amp system to 200-amp service to provide greater capacity for modern electrical demands and additional circuits.
We evaluate each property individually because electrical requirements aren’t identical from one home to another. Our goal is to provide the capacity you need while preparing the electrical system for both current use and reasonable future improvements.
Upgrade Your Electrical System with Confidence
A 200-amp electrical panel upgrade provides the capacity needed to safely power today’s appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, and future electrical additions. Our team manages every step of the process, from evaluating your current system and handling permits to installation and final testing, ensuring your new panel is safe, reliable, and up to current electrical codes. With improved performance and enhanced safety, a panel upgrade is a smart investment for your home or business.
What Are the Benefits of Upgrading to a 200-Amp Electrical Panel?
Many property owners choose a 200-amp upgrade to improve reliability, increase flexibility for future projects, and reduce the risk of overloaded circuits.
Can an Electrical Panel Upgrade Improve Safety?
A properly sized and professionally installed panel helps reduce the risk of electrical failures and supports reliable power distribution throughout the property.
How Long Does an Electrical Panel Upgrade Take?
Our team works to complete every project efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of safety and workmanship.
How Do Home Improvements Affect Your Electrical Capacity?
Before adding significant electrical loads, it’s important to determine whether the existing panel has adequate capacity and room for the necessary circuits. R & J Brothers Electric specifically recommends considering panel capacity when planning improvements such as basement finishing, kitchen remodeling, smart-home technology, EV charging, and other modern upgrades.
Evaluating the electrical system during the planning stage can also help prevent the panel from becoming an unexpected limitation after you’ve already selected equipment or begun construction.
We can review your current electrical service along with the improvements you’re planning. If additional capacity or circuits are needed, they can be incorporated into the project so the electrical system supports the finished space rather than becoming an afterthought.
