Panel & Service Upgrades

Why Upgrade to a Smart Electrical Panel?

While new homes are typically equipped with modern 200-amp electrical panels, many older homes still rely on outdated 100-amp systems that may no longer meet today’s power demands. Experts recommend upgrading your panel every 25–30 years — especially if your home is showing its age.

Here are some key reasons to consider a panel upgrade:

Faulty or Aging Wiring
Do your lights flicker, breakers trip frequently, or certain appliances cause a burning smell or mild shocks? These are signs of overloaded circuits or deteriorating wiring — both serious safety concerns that require immediate attention.

Adding New Appliances
Installing high-demand appliances like EV chargers, hot tubs, HVAC systems, or home office equipment can easily overwhelm older panels. Upgrading ensures your system can handle the load safely and reliably.

Renovations & Remodeling
If you’re planning a renovation or addition, now is the ideal time to upgrade your panel. It’s the most efficient way to ensure your home’s electrical infrastructure is up to code — and ready for the future.

Future-Proofing
A 200-amp service gives your home the flexibility to grow with your lifestyle. It allows for the seamless addition of smart tech, energy-efficient systems, and modern conveniences — without the worry of overloading circuits.

Upgrading your electrical panel isn’t just about power — it’s about peace of mind. Trust Wood & Wire to bring your home's electrical system up to today’s standards, safely and efficiently.
