Warning Signs
Does Your Home Need a Panel Upgrade?
If any of these apply, your panel may be undersized, outdated, or unsafe.
Why Upgrade
Benefits of a Modern Panel
Power Everything Modern Life Demands
Today's homes run EVs, solar inverters, heat pumps, induction ranges, and smart home systems simultaneously. An upgraded 200A+ panel gives you the headroom to do all of it without tripping a breaker.
Enable Solar & EV Charging
Most solar and EV charging installs require a panel upgrade first. REC can handle both in a single coordinated project — one crew, one permit process, one inspection, no double-billing.
Eliminate a Real Safety Hazard
Overloaded and outdated panels are a leading cause of residential electrical fires. Modern panels include arc-fault and ground-fault circuit interrupters that catch dangerous conditions before they become emergencies.
Increase Your Home's Resale Value
A modern 200-amp service panel is a documented selling point. Home inspectors flag old panels as deficiencies — a preemptive upgrade removes that obstacle and demonstrates a well-maintained home.
The Process
What to Expect on Installation Day
A typical panel upgrade is completed in a single day. We start with a thorough assessment of your existing service, confirm the scope of work with you, and coordinate with your utility provider. On install day, we swap the panel, label every circuit clearly, and make sure everything is code-compliant and inspected.
We pull all permits, schedule the city inspection, and walk you through your new panel before we pack up. No surprises, no hidden charges — just a clean upgrade done right the first time.

Bundle & Save
Adding Solar or an EV Charger? Bundle the Panel Upgrade.
When a panel upgrade is part of a larger solar or EV charger project, we coordinate the whole thing under one roof — one permit process, one inspection, one crew. It's faster, cleaner, and less disruptive to your household than scheduling separate contractors.
