Electrical Service Upgrades
Safe. Reliable. Up to Code.
Upgrading your electrical service is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home or business. Whether you’re dealing with flickering lights, tripping breakers, or adding high-powered appliances like EV chargers or HVAC systems — you need an electrical system that can handle the load safely and efficiently.
Why Upgrade Your Electrical Service?
Older homes and small commercial buildings often have outdated electrical panels that weren’t built for today’s power demands. A service upgrade ensures your system is:
Safe – Reduces fire hazards and electrical failures
Code-Compliant – Meets current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards
Future-Ready – Supports modern appliances, EV chargers, HVAC units, and smart home systems
Insurance-Friendly – Helps avoid denied claims due to outdated infrastructure
What’s Included in a Service Upgrade?
Our licensed electricians provide full-service upgrades that include:
Replacement of outdated electrical panels (60/100A → 200A+)
Meter and service entrance cable upgrades
New grounding and bonding for safety
Permits and inspections handled by our team
Coordination with Eversource.
