200 amp panel upgrade in Plainsboro
A panel upgrade replaces the breaker box and, for a service upgrade, the meter socket and the cable from the utility connection as well. We run a load calculation, install the new panel and main breaker, bring grounding and bonding up to date, move every circuit over and label it. We arrange the utility disconnect and reconnect and the inspection.

Electrical panel upgrade in Plainsboro: common questions
How long is the power off during a panel upgrade?
Usually most of one working day. Power is back on before we leave.
Do I need 200 amps?
If you plan to add a car charger, heat pump, electric range or an addition, almost certainly. The load calculation gives a definite answer.
Is a panel replacement the same as a service upgrade?
No. A replacement keeps the same amperage and swaps the box. A service upgrade also increases the capacity coming from the utility.
