Electrical Panel Upgrades
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. It distributes power throughout your home and provides protection by safely directing electricity to each individual circuit. As homes age and electrical demands increase, many existing panels no longer provide the space, capacity, or reliability needed for modern living.
An electrical panel upgrade replaces an outdated or inadequate panel with a modern electrical distribution system designed to safely support your home's current needs and future improvements.
A panel upgrade may be recommended when:
- Your existing panel is outdated, damaged, or no longer supported
- Your panel has limited breaker space for additional circuits
- You are experiencing frequent breaker trips or electrical issues
- You are adding high-demand equipment such as an EV charger, generator, heat pump, or hot tub
- Your home still has an older fuse panel or unsafe electrical equipment
- You are renovating or adding additional living space
During a professional panel upgrade, Current Crafters will remove the existing panel and install a new, properly sized electrical panel with modern circuit protection. We will carefully transfer existing circuits, install new breakers as needed, properly label your electrical system, torque all connections to manufacturer specifications, and ensure the installation meets current electrical codes.
Depending on the condition and capacity of your existing electrical service, a panel upgrade may be completed as a standalone improvement or may be part of a larger electrical service upgrade that increases the amount of power available to your home.
Every home is different, which is why we begin with a thorough evaluation of your existing electrical system and provide a clear recommendation based on your home's needs, safety requirements, and future plans.
Electrical Service Upgrades
Experience the Future of Energy with Current Crafters
While an electrical panel upgrade improves the way electricity is distributed throughout your home, an electrical service upgrade increases the amount of electrical power your home can receive from the utility company.
Many older homes were built with 60 amp or 100 amp electrical services that were adequate for the appliances and technology available at the time. However, modern homes often require significantly more electrical capacity due to increased energy usage, home offices, electric vehicles, heat pumps, generators, and other high-demand electrical equipment.
An electrical service upgrade may be needed when your existing service does not provide enough capacity for your home's current or future electrical needs.
Common reasons homeowners upgrade their electrical service include:
- Upgrading from a 60 amp or 100 amp service to a 200 amp service
- Installing an EV charger or other high-demand equipment
- Adding a heat pump, electric appliances, or a standby generator
- Completing a home addition or major renovation
- Replacing outdated meter equipment or service components
- Improving the safety and reliability of an older electrical system
A complete electrical service upgrade typically involves replacing and upgrading several major components of your home's electrical system, including:
- New meter socket or meter-main equipment
- New service entrance conductors
- Updated service mast, weatherhead, or exterior components when required
- Upgraded grounding and bonding system
- New main electrical panel or service disconnect
- Coordination with the local utility company when required
- Required permits and inspections

Whether you need additional capacity for today's electrical needs or want to prepare your home for future upgrades, our team provides professional electrical service upgrades designed for safety, reliability, and long-term performance.
