Madison Electric coordinates complete electrical service upgrades that increase the total power available from utility lines to your property. Our service capacity upgrade addresses situations where properties have outgrown their electrical service rating and need higher amperage for contemporary demands. We manage the entire process including utility coordination, meter equipment upgrades, distribution center replacement, and service entrance cable installation.
Your electrical service rating determines the maximum power your property can draw simultaneously. Our electricians evaluate your current and future loads, recommend appropriate service capacity, and coordinate with utilities to upgrade service delivery. We replace all components from the utility connection point through your distribution center, ensuring everything works together to provide reliable higher-capacity electrical service.
If you’ve added high-demand appliances (like air conditioners, water heaters, or electric ovens), your existing service may no longer supply enough power safely.
If circuits trip even when you run typical appliances, it’s a strong signal your service capacity is too low for your home’s needs.
Lights that dim or flicker when heavy devices start up usually mean your panel struggles to deliver enough current.
When you expand your home’s wiring — for new rooms or more outlets — you often need higher service capacity to support the extra load.
If you plan to install an electric‑vehicle charger, central HVAC, or a home workshop, upgrading your service ensures safe and stable power delivery.
Older panels rated for lower amperage may struggle with today’s demands — upgrading ensures compliance with modern standards and reliability.
Homes running multiple computers, servers, large refrigerators, or constantly‑on devices can exceed capacity over time — a service upgrade adds headroom.
Even if current demand is moderate, upgrading service capacity prepares your home for future needs and avoids overload issues as you add devices later.
Signs include inability to run multiple appliances simultaneously, planned major additions, or frequent main breaker trips.
We analyze your loads and typical usage patterns to recommend appropriate service amperage.
Most upgrades require one to two days including utility disconnection, installation, and reconnection.
Higher capacity usually requires utility meter and service line upgrades coordinated with the utility company.
Service upgrades involve multiple components and utility coordination, making them more substantial investments.
