Electrical Service Upgrades Prepare Your Home for the Now and Future

May 23, 2025

As technology evolves and energy demands grow, many homeowners are discovering that their current electrical systems simply aren’t built for modern living. From electric vehicles to home offices, today’s lifestyles require more power than ever before. That’s where an electrical service upgrade comes in.

At Premier Plus Electric Inc., we help homeowners take a proactive approach by future-proofing their homes with updated, code-compliant electrical systems built to handle both today’s needs and tomorrow’s possibilities.

What Is an Electrical Service Upgrade?

An electrical service upgrade typically involves:

• Replacing your main electrical panel
• Increasing capacity (e.g., from 100 amps to 200 amps)
• Upgrading wiring and grounding systems
• Installing a modern circuit breaker panel

The result? A safer, more efficient, and more capable electrical system ready to support your family’s evolving needs.

Why Future-Proofing Matters More Than Ever

Here are just a few reasons to consider an upgrade:

You're Adding an EV Charger

Electric vehicles are becoming the norm—but they require a significant amount of power. Upgrading your service ensures your home can safely and efficiently support EV charging without overloading your system.

You're Planning Renovations or Additions

Remodeling a kitchen, finishing a basement, or adding square footage? You’ll likely need more power to handle new appliances, outlets, and lighting.

You're Embracing Smart Home Tech

From smart thermostats and lighting to whole-home security systems, these devices may seem low-impact individually—but together, they can put a real strain on outdated panels.

You Want to Add Solar Panels

Planning a solar installation in the future? Most utility providers require your home’s electrical panel to meet certain specs—often including a 200-amp service—to ensure compatibility.

Safety First: Avoid the Risks of an Overloaded System

Older or overloaded electrical panels aren’t just inconvenient—they can be dangerous. Signs of trouble include:

• Frequent breaker trips
• Flickering lights
• Warm or buzzing outlets
• Burn marks near the panel

If you’re experiencing any of these, your system may already be at capacity—and an upgrade is overdue.

What to Expect During a Service Upgrade

When you choose Premier Plus Electric Inc., our licensed electricians will:

• Evaluate your current system
• Determine the right size panel for your future needs
• Handle all permitting and code requirements
• Safely install your upgraded service with minimal disruption

We’ll also walk you through options to accommodate future add-ons like solar, backup generators, or home automation systems.

Invest in Your Home’s Value

A modern electrical system isn’t just a safety upgrade—it’s a smart investment that improves energy efficiency, supports resale value, and ensures your home keeps up with changing technology.
