Why Upgrade from 100 Amps to 200 Amps?
Many older homes were built with 100-amp electrical services that were adequate for the electrical demands of the time. Modern homes often require additional capacity to safely operate multiple appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, and smart home technologies.
A 200-amp electrical service provides:
- Increased electrical capacity
- Support for EV chargers
- Power for home additions and renovations
- Capacity for electric heating and air conditioning
- Additional circuits for future expansion
- Improved electrical reliability
- Better support for modern appliances
- Increased home value

- Have upgraded to larger HVAC equipment
- Have a growing number of electrical devices
