Panel upgrades

Many older homes across Columbus and Dublin are still working off 100-amp panels or original fuse boxes that were never built for today's electrical load. A panel upgrade to 200-amp service gives your home the capacity and safety margin modern life requires.

If your breakers trip often, your lights dim when appliances kick on, or you are planning to add central air, an EV charger, or a home addition, your panel is worth a look. Fuse boxes and undersized panels are also a common issue when buying or insuring an older home in the area.

The upgrade itself involves coordinating with the utility company for a temporary shutoff, removing the old panel, and installing a new breaker panel sized for your home's actual demand. We label every circuit clearly, test the system under load, and add surge protection at the panel to help guard your appliances and electronics. Homeowners in Westerville and Hilliard often pair a panel upgrade with other work, like a new EV charger circuit, since the panel needs the capacity to support it.
