Frequently Asked Questions About Heavy Up Upgrades

  • What is a heavy up and when is it needed?

    A heavy up increases the amount of power your home can safely use, often moving from 100 amp service to 200 amp or more. It is commonly needed when adding major appliances, EV charging, additions, or modern HVAC. We evaluate your current service and explain if an upgrade is necessary.

  • What problems can low electrical capacity cause?

    Low capacity can lead to frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, overheating connections, and limited ability to add new equipment. Over time, a strained system can wear components faster. Upgrading service capacity helps your home handle modern loads more reliably and reduces stress on the system.

  • Does a heavy up include replacing the panel and meter equipment?

    Often, yes. Many upgrades involve changes to the panel, service entrance components, and meter area to meet utility and code requirements. The exact scope depends on your existing setup. We review what needs updating and explain the steps so you understand what the upgrade includes.

  • How do you decide between 200 amp and 400 amp service?

    We look at your current usage, planned appliances, heating and cooling, EV charging needs, and any future expansion plans. Most homes fit well with 200 amp, but higher demand properties may benefit from more. We provide clear recommendations based on your actual load needs.

  • Do you offer estimates for capacity upgrades?

    Yes. We provide a free panel upgrade estimate to help you plan. We review your current equipment, discuss your goals, and explain upgrade options clearly, including what work is required and what inspections or coordination may be involved.
