Many older homes still use electrical panels that are outdated or no longer appropriate for modern electrical demand.
Benefits of a 200 Amp Panel Upgrade
Upgrading to a 200 amp electrical panel may help support Level 2 EV charging, support battery backup systems, improve electrical safety, increase electrical capacity, support modern HVAC systems, support heat pump water heaters, prepare the home for electrification, and improve reliability for modern appliances.

Whole home surge protection helps protect EV chargers, appliances, HVAC systems, smart electronics, internet equipment, and televisions.
