MAIN SERVICE PANEL
UPGRADES (200 AMP)
Upgrade your Reno home from an outdated 100-amp panel to 200-amp service. Handle EV chargers, modern HVAC, and all your electrical needs without tripping breakers.
SIGNS YOUR HOME NEEDS A 200 AMP UPGRADE
Many Reno homes built before 1990 have 100-amp or smaller panels that can't handle modern electrical demands.
Frequent Breaker Trips
Breakers tripping when you run the AC, microwave, or hair dryer means your panel is maxed out.
Flickering Lights
Lights dimming when appliances turn on indicates your panel can't supply enough power.
Fuse Box or Small Panel
Still have a fuse box? Or a panel with only 8-12 breakers? It's time for a modern upgrade.
Adding an EV Charger
Level 2 EV chargers require 40-50 amps. Most 100-amp panels don't have room for this load.
Home Addition or Remodel
Adding square footage, a workshop, or major appliances requires more electrical capacity.
Warm or Buzzing Panel
A panel that feels warm or makes buzzing sounds is overloaded and potentially dangerous.
