Panel Upgrade
Modern homes need modern capacity. Serve Kei sends a local professional for electrical panel upgrades done with clear scope.

What Is Panel Upgrade?
As a home's electrical demands grow, an older panel may no longer provide the capacity needed for additions such as EV charging, larger HVAC equipment, generators, or other high-demand loads. A panel upgrade can address capacity limitations when the existing equipment is no longer suitable.
The work involves more than swapping the visible panel. The incoming electrical service, circuit requirements, breaker configuration, grounding, and applicable installation requirements all need to be considered.
Serve Kei gives homeowners a way to request a panel upgrade and explain what new equipment or electrical demand is prompting the project. A local professional can assess the service and quote the required work.
What's Included in Panel Upgrade
What is included depends on amperage goals, grounding, and whether the meter or mast must change. Common work includes:
- Load review for the proposed panel size
- Removal of the old panel and installation of a new load center
- Rehoming branch circuits onto new breakers
- Grounding and bonding updates as required
- Coordination notes for utility service changes when needed
- Labeling of new circuits
- Rough inspection readiness when permits apply
Book a panel upgrade via Serve Kei to work with a local electrician. Permit fees, utility fees, or mast work can be itemized in the quote first.
Common Issues
- Panels with no free spaces for new circuits
- Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or other aging gear flagged by inspectors
- Double-tapped breakers and overcrowded gutters
- Adding EV or heat pump loads on a 100-amp service
- Missing ground bars or improper bonding in older installs
