Adding solar, a heat pump, or an EV charger to a home with a 100-amp panel and 30-year-old wiring is asking for tripped breakers and fire risk. We bring your electrical system up to code and capacity so your home handles everything you need it to — safely.

Overview
Many bigger upgrades stall because the electrical side was never scoped.
When your house was built, nobody planned for an electric car, a heat pump, or 30 solar panels feeding power back to the grid. Your 100 or 150-amp panel made sense then. It doesn’t now. A panel upgrade replaces the old service with 200A or 400A capacity, every circuit gets properly labeled, and modern arc-fault and ground-fault protection goes where code requires it. We handle the permits, the utility coordination, and the inspection — typically one day without power.
What a good electrical services plan should cover
Panel upgrades from 100A to 200A or 400A
We replace your outdated panel with modern service that gives you capacity for heat pumps, EV chargers, solar, and whatever else your home needs now and in the future.
Proper permitting and utility coordination
Panel upgrades require permits and inspections from the city and utility. We handle the entire process and coordinate the power shutoff and reconnection.
Safety upgrades included
Modern panels include arc-fault and ground-fault protection on required circuits. If your home still has a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel — both known fire risks — replacement is urgent.
How electrical services should be approached
1
Evaluate your current panel, calculate total load including planned upgrades, and size the new service
We look at your existing panel capacity (most older Texas homes are 100A or 150A), wiring condition, and every load you plan to add — solar, EV charger, heat pump, electric range. The total determines whether you need 200A or 400A service. If your panel is a Federal Pacific or Zinsco, replacement is urgent regardless of capacity — both are documented fire hazards.
2
Pull permits, coordinate the utility disconnect, and swap the panel in a day
We file electrical permits and coordinate the utility meter pull. The old panel comes out, a new panel is mounted with properly sized bus bars, grounded per code, and every circuit reconnected and labeled. Arc-fault breakers go on bedroom and living area circuits. Ground-fault protection goes on wet locations. The whole swap typically takes 5–6 hours with power off.
3
City inspection, utility reconnection, and a full walkthrough of your new panel
The city electrical inspector verifies breaker sizing, grounding, bus bar integrity, and code compliance. Once approved, the utility reconnects the meter and restores power. We test voltage at every circuit, verify grounding, and walk you through the panel — what each breaker controls, how AFCI/GFCI protection works, and what to do if one trips.
