200 Amp Service Upgrades MN: Electrical Panel Replacement
More Power. Less Worry.
Stop juggling appliances. Replacing your outdated 100A panel with a modern 200A service gives your home the capacity it needs for EV chargers, heat pumps, and a modern lifestyle.
Old 60A and 100A panels were designed for homes with just a TV and a toaster. Today, adding a single EV charger or hot tub can overload your system, causing main breakers to trip and lights to dim. Don't let your panel hold you back.
Built for the Future
A service upgrade isn't just about more power; it's about safety and readiness. We install premium Square D QO or Eaton CH panels that last a lifetime.
200 Amp Service
Double the power. Run your dryer, AC, oven, and EV charger all at once without a second thought. 200A is the new standard for modern efficiently electrified homes.
EV & Solar Ready
Our panels come with 40+ spaces, giving you plenty of room to add circuits for electric vehicles, solar inverters, or that basement workshop you've been planning.
Value & Safety
We include a Whole Home Surge Protector on every service upgrade to shield your expensive electronics (TVs, computers, smart appliances) from grid spikes and lightning.
