Do You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade?

Electrical Panel Upgrade Services
Electrical Panel Replacement
Older or damaged electrical panels can create safety concerns and may not provide the capacity required by today’s appliances and technology.
We can replace outdated panels with modern equipment that provides improved safety, circuit protection, organization, and capacity.
100 Amp to 200 Amp Service Upgrades
Many older homes were built with electrical services that were appropriate for the technology and appliances available at the time.
If your home’s electrical demand has increased, upgrading from a 100-amp service to a 200-amp service may provide the additional capacity needed for modern electrical loads.
The appropriate service size depends on your home’s electrical load, equipment, and future plans. Our electricians can evaluate your system and recommend the appropriate upgrade.
Electrical Service Upgrades
A service upgrade may involve more than simply replacing the electrical panel. Depending on the existing installation and utility requirements, the project may include upgrading service equipment, conductors, meter equipment, and the main electrical panel.
Haupt Electrical can coordinate the necessary work to provide a complete electrical service upgrade.
Electrical Meter Upgrades
Your electrical meter and service equipment are important components of your home’s electrical system. If an upgrade requires new or modified meter equipment, our electricians can coordinate the electrical work and required inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be replaced?
Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, overheating, visible damage, an outdated fuse box, or insufficient capacity can all be signs that your electrical system should be evaluated.
Do I need a 200-amp electrical panel?
Not every home needs 200-amp service. The appropriate service size depends on your home’s electrical load and current and future electrical requirements. A licensed electrician can perform an evaluation and recommend the appropriate capacity.
Does adding an EV charger require a new electrical panel?
Not always. An electrician should evaluate your existing electrical service and available capacity before adding an EV charger. If the existing system cannot accommodate the additional load, an electrical panel or service upgrade may be necessary.
Can you upgrade an old electrical panel without rewiring my entire house?
In many situations, a panel upgrade does not require the entire home to be rewired. However, the existing wiring and electrical system should be evaluated to determine whether additional work is required.
How long does an electrical panel upgrade take?
The time required depends on the scope of the project, the existing electrical equipment, the new equipment being installed, and permit or utility requirements. Your electrician can provide a more accurate timeline after evaluating your system.
Will Haupt Electrical handle the permits and inspections?
When permits and inspections are required for your project, Haupt Electrical can coordinate the necessary process as part of the electrical upgrade.
How much does a 100-amp to 200-amp upgrade cost?

Can an electrical panel upgrade increase my home’s value?
A modern, properly installed electrical system can be an attractive feature to future homeowners and may help address electrical concerns identified during a home inspection. However, the value added by an electrical upgrade varies by property and market.
