Upgrading your electrical service from 100 to 200 amps is the best way to keep your home’s electrical system from getting overloaded. It’s a simple fact that we demand much more electricity in our homes today than we did 20 years ago. Every new electrical device we get adds to that demand, from getting a new TV to buying an electric car. Even if you don’t need an electrical meter upgrade yet, you should get one if you’re planning to finish out the basement, buy an electric vehicle or anything else that requires a lot of electricity.
You can use the electrical load calculation to see if you need to upgrade your electrical service, or you can contact the experts at Arnold Electrical to take care of the process and recommend the best solution.
