Understanding Electrical Panel and Service Upgrades
An electrical panel, often referred to as a breaker box or fuse box, serves as the central hub for your property's electrical distribution. Over time, as you add more appliances or devices, your existing panel may struggle to handle the increased load, leading to potential safety hazards and inefficiencies. Upgrading your electrical service involves replacing or enhancing this panel to accommodate higher amperage, ensuring your system can safely support your energy needs.
Signs You May Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
Recognizing when it's time for a panel upgrade is essential. Here are some indicators:
Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips: Regular tripping can signal an overloaded panel.
Use of Multiple Power Strips: Reliance on power strips may indicate insufficient outlets and capacity.
Flickering or Dimming Lights: This can occur when large appliances are in use, suggesting an inadequate power supply.
Outdated Fuse Box: Older systems may not meet current safety standards and are less efficient.
Planning Renovations or Additions: Upgrades are often necessary to support increased electrical demands from new spaces or appliances.
Benefits of Upgrading Your Electrical Panel
Investing in a panel upgrade offers several advantages:
Enhanced Safety: Reduces the risk of electrical fires and other hazards associated with overloaded systems.
Increased Capacity: Supports modern appliances and technology without overloading circuits.
Improved Energy Efficiency: A modern panel can operate more efficiently, potentially lowering energy costs.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs an upgrade?
If you're experiencing frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, using multiple power strips, or have an outdated fuse box, it’s likely time for a service panel upgrade. Homes with older panels (especially under 100 amps) often can’t handle modern energy demands. A licensed electrician from Preferred Electrical Services can evaluate your current system and recommend the best solution.
What’s the difference between a service upgrade and a panel upgrade?
A panel upgrade usually refers to replacing your electrical breaker box with a new one, while a service upgrade involves increasing your electrical capacity—commonly from 100 amps to 200 amps—to meet higher power needs. Most homes upgrading to support additions, EV chargers, or central AC systems often require both.
How much does it cost to upgrade an electrical panel in New Hampshire?
Costs can vary based on the amperage needed, the age of your current system, and specific code requirements. On average, a 200 amp panel upgrade in NH can range from $1,500 to $3,500, but we provide free, no-obligation estimates. Contact us for a personalized quote.
Do I need a permit for an electrical panel upgrade in NH?
Yes, panel and service upgrades typically require an electrical permit and an inspection to ensure everything meets the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local safety standards. Preferred Electrical Services handles all permitting and inspection coordination for you, so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork.
Can I stay in my home during the panel upgrade process?
Yes, but expect a temporary power outage during the actual replacement—usually lasting a few hours. Our team works efficiently to minimize downtime and ensures everything is tested and safe before restoring power. We’ll keep you informed throughout the entire process so there are no surprises.
