Electrical Panel Upgrade in Union, NJ

100 amp to 200 amp upgrade in Union

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.

People in Union ask for this in different ways: main panel upgrade, electrical panel upgrade and electrical panel replacement, or simply “100 amp to 200 amp upgrade near me”. It is all work we do, and one call to (888) 633-7804 covers it.

Electrical panel upgrade cost in Union

Electrical panel upgrade cost in Union depends on the service size, whether the meter and service cable are replaced, the panel's location and what the utility requires.

Older Union County buildings hide a lot behind the plaster. Around Union we regularly open a box and find ungrounded two-wire cable, a fuse panel still feeding part of the house, or circuits added by three different owners. None of that is unusual in North Jersey. The job is to trace it properly, fix what is unsafe first, and leave you with a panel schedule that finally matches the house.

Electrical panel upgrade in Union: 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.

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Union?

New circuits, panel changes and service work generally need a permit from the local construction office. Simple like-for-like replacements usually do not. We tell you when your job needs one.

Are you open nights and weekends in Union?

Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day. Call (888) 633-7804.

What customers say

Our old 100 amp panel was full and warm. They upgraded us to 200 amps in one day, labeled every breaker and dealt with the utility and the inspection. Power was back before dinner.
James K., Toms River

They rewired our restaurant kitchen overnight so we did not lose a single service. Every circuit is labeled now and the breakers have stopped tripping on Friday nights.
Carlos V., Paterson

Our house had aluminum wiring and the outlets were getting warm. They went through every box in the house and explained both options and the price for each. Very straight with us.
