Professional 200 Amp Electrical Service Upgrades

Need more power for your home? Thomson Electric specializes in 100 amp to 200 amp electrical panel upgrades, helping homeowners safely increase the capacity of their electrical systems to support today’s energy demands.

Whether you’re planning a renovation, installing an electric vehicle (EV) charger, adding a hot tub, or upgrading to electric heating, our licensed electricians provide safe, code-compliant panel and service upgrades designed for long-term performance.

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

Signs You May Need a 200 Amp Upgrade

A service upgrade may be recommended if you:

  • Frequently trip circuit breakers
  • Are planning a major home renovation
  • Need additional electrical circuits
  • Are installing an EV charger
  • Are adding a hot tub or spa
  • Have upgraded to larger HVAC equipment
  • Have a growing number of electrical devices
  • Are replacing an outdated electrical panel

Our electricians will assess your existing electrical service and recommend the most appropriate solution based on your home’s current and future electrical needs.
