When You Need a Panel Upgrade

If any of these sound familiar, your panel is holding your home back.

Breakers Keep Tripping

Frequent trips mean your panel cannot handle your home's electrical load. This is the most common sign you have outgrown your panel.

Adding an EV Charger

A Level 2 EV charger draws 40-48A. If your panel is at capacity, you will need an upgrade before installation. We handle both in one project.

Pre-2000 Home

Homes built before 2000 typically have 100A or even 60A panels with outdated components. Modern code and modern loads need 200A.

Adding Heat Pump or Hot Tub

Heat pumps, hot tubs, and other 240V appliances each require dedicated high-amperage circuits. Your panel needs the capacity to support them.

Finishing a Basement

A finished basement adds circuits for lighting, outlets, and often a bathroom. If your panel is full, you need more capacity before any remodel work begins.

Adding Solar or Battery

Solar inverters and battery systems require dedicated breakers and sufficient bus bar capacity. We size your panel for the full system from day one.

Our Process

Most panel upgrades are completed in one day. Here is exactly how it works.

Load Calculation

We calculate your home's actual electrical load per NEC Article 220 -- not a rough estimate. This determines the right panel size and ensures code compliance from the start.

Fixed-Price Quote

You get a detailed, fixed-price quote that covers everything: panel, breakers, labor, permit, and inspection. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Schedule and Permit

We pull the electrical permit and coordinate with Rocky Mountain Power for the meter disconnect. We schedule the work at a time that works for you.

Installation

We swap your panel, upgrade the meter base if needed, install new breakers, label every circuit, and restore power. Typical install time is 6-8 hours.

Inspection and Sign-Off

We schedule the final inspection with the local building department. Everything passes on the first visit because we do it right the first time. You get the inspection report for your records.

Pricing Transparency

We will give you an exact quote before any work starts. No surprises.

Service Typical Range What's Included
100A to 200A Upgrade $2,000 - $3,500 New 200A panel, breakers, labor, permit, inspection
200A Upgrade + Meter Base $3,000 - $4,500 New panel, new meter base, utility coordination, permit, inspection
Sub-Panel Addition $1,200 - $2,500 New sub-panel for garage, basement, or addition

Final pricing depends on your home's specific electrical setup, panel location, and utility requirements. Every quote is fixed-price -- the number we give you is the number you pay.

100A vs 200A: What is the Difference?

Standard in homes built before 2000
Cannot support EV charger + existing loads
Limited breaker spaces
Not solar or battery ready

200A Panel

Modern standard for new construction
Handles EV charger, HVAC, appliances simultaneously
40+ breaker spaces for future expansion
Solar, battery, and EV ready from day one

Frequently Asked Questions

A 200A panel upgrade in Utah typically costs $2,000-$4,500 depending on your home's existing wiring, meter base condition, and whether the utility requires a service upgrade. We provide a fixed-price quote after assessing your specific situation -- no surprises.

Most panel upgrades are completed in one day, typically 6-8 hours. Your power will be off for a portion of that time (usually 4-6 hours) while we swap the panel and make connections. We coordinate with the utility to minimize downtime.

Yes. A panel upgrade requires an electrical permit and a final inspection by a local building inspector. We handle the entire permit process for you -- pulling the permit, scheduling the inspection, and making sure everything passes on the first visit.

Yes, your power will be off for approximately 4-6 hours during the panel swap. We schedule the outage in advance so you can plan around it. We recommend charging devices, avoiding laundry, and having a cooler ready if needed.

A 100A panel was standard for homes built before 2000 and supports basic loads -- lights, appliances, HVAC. A 200A panel doubles your capacity and is required for modern electrical demands like EV chargers, heat pumps, hot tubs, solar inverters, and battery systems. Most homes being built today start at 200A.
