Electrical Service Upgrades for Your Home
Your house is using more electricity than ever. Between central air conditioning, electric appliances, EV chargers, and home additions, your electrical system needs to keep up with your lifestyle. If your existing service can’t handle the demand, an electrical service upgrade might be what you need.
An electrical service upgrade lets your home take in more electricity from the power company. It’s not as simple as just swapping out an old electrical panel. A service upgrade might include upgrading the service entrance wiring, meter socket, service mast, and main electrical panel to allow more juice in.

When Do You Need an Electrical Service Upgrade?
Not every home needs an electrical service upgrade, but older homes with 100-amp service may struggle to meet today’s electrical demands.
Your Home Has 100-Amp Electrical Service: Many older homes were built with 100-amp service, which is not enough for today’s electrical needs.
You’re Adding High-Demand Electrical Equipment. If you’re adding an EV charger, heat pump, hot tub, or other high-demand equipment, upgrading to 200-amp service provides the additional capacity you need.
You’re Remodeling or Expanding Your Home. Home renovations and additions can also increase your power requirements, making it important to evaluate your electrical service before starting a project.
Your Electrical Service Equipment Is Aging. Aging electrical equipment, damaged meter sockets, and deteriorating service entrance wiring are other reasons to consider an upgrade.
KC Electrical Contracting handles the entire process for you, from determining your needs to working with your power company to getting all the inspections and signatures.

We have hired KC Electrical numerous time for our needs and have been greatly satisfied. We are a farm and have out of the ordinary requests at times and they always handle it with expertise and I am always very happy with the results.
We had Kyle out to do some electrical work needed on our property. He performed beautiful work and we were very pleased on his attention to detail and professionalism when working with us. He showed up on time, and completed everything we needed very efficiently. We will be using him from now on for all of our electrical projects as well as renovations. Thanks Kyle!
Kyle did an amazing job on electrical work that was required to hang a new TV over our fireplace. There were no electrical outlets for where they were required; so Kyle had to cut thru the walls, install a new outlet and repair the walls including painting. You can’t tell where he even cut into the wall and the TV looks beautiful!
