Increase your home’s electrical capacity with a professional service upgrade
As homes and businesses continue to add new appliances, technology, and electrical equipment, older electrical systems can struggle to keep up. If your property is experiencing capacity limitations or you’re planning a major electrical addition, an electrical service upgrade may be the solution.
Marc Cabral Electrician provides professional electrical service upgrades in Dartmouth, New Bedford, MA, and surrounding communities, helping property owners safely increase their electrical capacity and prepare for future power demands.
What Is an Electrical Service Upgrade?
An electrical service upgrade increases the amount of electricity your property can safely receive from the utility company.
Many older homes were built with 60-amp or 100-amp electrical service. While that may have been sufficient years ago, today’s homes often require significantly more power to support:
- Central air conditioning systems
- Electric vehicle chargers
- Home offices and electronics
- Modern kitchen appliances
- Hot tubs and pools
- Home additions and renovations
- Standby generators
A service upgrade typically increases your property’s electrical capacity to 200 amps or more, providing the power needed for modern living.
Electrical Service Upgrades vs. Panel Upgrades
While the terms are often used interchangeably, they are not always the same.
A panel upgrade involves replacing your electrical panel with a newer unit.
A service upgrade increases the amount of power delivered to your property and may include:
- Upgrading the electrical panel
- Replacing the meter socket
- Upgrading service entrance cables
- Updating grounding systems
- Coordinating with the utility company
In many cases, both upgrades are completed together to ensure the entire electrical system can safely support increased demand.
