Panel upgrades
Electrical panel upgrades for Boca Raton homes
A panel upgrade is a capacity decision, not a brochure upsell. Older Boca homes often outgrow a 100-amp service once a heat pump, kitchen remodel, and EV charger share the bus. Newer west Boca panels start stronger — until luxury loads and storm-season stress ask for amps the builder never left spare.
What we’d tell you first
Plain notes, the way a tech would say them on the phone. Then call or book if you want someone at the house.

List what you plan to add
Heat pump, EV charger, remodel loads — capacity is a plan, not a default 200-amp speech.
When an upgrade is the honest call
We open the cover and look at load, wire size, double taps, and whether breakers are already at the edge. A warm cover, buzzing bus, or breakers that will not hold after a storm are reasons to stop guessing and measure.
Sometimes the answer is a new circuit or a subpanel, not a full service change. You hear that option when it is real.
- Planning a heat pump or larger AC that needs a heavier circuit
- Adding an EV charger and the panel is already crowded
- Remodel that adds kitchen, laundry, or shop loads
- Outdated panel hardware a home inspector flagged
- Repeated trips that are not a single bad appliance
What the visit includes
We confirm what the utility service can support, pull the permit the City of Boca Raton or Palm Beach County requires, and schedule the changeover so the house is without power only as long as the work needs. AC and electrical land on the same truck when the new condenser and the new panel have to land together.
No license number is printed on this site until it is confirmed. We stay residential and say when a job is outside what we take on.
Luxury homes, HOAs, and gated access
Broken Sound, Boca Pointe, Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, and similar communities often need guest-list timing and quieter changeover plans. Share gate instructions when you book.
Process overview
Load assessment, scope (full service vs subpanel), permit, utility coordination when required, install, labeling, and inspection. You get a clear outage window before tools come out.
Questions we’d answer on the phone
The short version before anyone is standing in the yard.
Do I always need a 200-amp panel?
No. We size from measured load and what you plan to add. Some homes need 200 amps. Others need a cleaner 100-amp panel or a subpanel for a garage.
Will the house lose power all day?
A service change needs a planned outage. We tell you the window before work starts and coordinate with the utility when their disconnect is required.
