Electrical Service Upgrade

What This Service Involves

When your home's incoming service can't keep up with added heat pumps, EV charging, and modern appliances, a service upgrade increases the capacity feeding your entire home. We coordinate with your utility to upsize the service entrance, meter base, and main disconnect, then bring the whole assembly up to current Washington code. The work is inspected at each stage so the transition is safe and downtime is minimized. Upgrading now future-proofs your electrical system and removes the ceiling that an undersized service places on everything you want to add.

Benefits

Provides the capacity for EV charging, heat pumps, and expansion; upgrades the service entrance and meter to current code; removes the limit an undersized service places on additions; utility-coordinated for a safe, brief transition; inspected at each stage for reliability

Our Process

1) Evaluate current service and calculate future load needs; 2) Coordinate the upgrade scope with your utility; 3) Install the new service entrance, meter base, and disconnect; 4) Pass inspection and restore full, higher-capacity power

What Affects the Cost

Target service amperage and utility requirements; condition of the existing meter base and mast; whether the panel is replaced at the same time; overhead versus underground service; utility fees and permits

Best Time of Year

Service upgrades can be scheduled year-round, though dry weather eases any exterior mast or meter work.
