Service Upgrades & Electrical Panel Upgrades
As homes grow more dependent on modern appliances, smart devices, and increased electrical loads, many older electrical panels are no longer able to keep up. At Whitley Electric, we provide safe, reliable service upgrades and electrical panel upgrades to ensure your home has the power it needs now - and for the future.
A service upgrade replaces outdated, overloaded, or unsafe electrical systems with modern equipment that meets today’s electrical standards. Whether your home still relies on an older 60-amp or 100-amp service or you’re planning a renovation that requires more power, upgrading your electrical service is one of the best investments you can make in the safety and functionality of your property.
Why You May Need a Service Upgrade
Many homes were not built to support the electrical demands of today’s technology. You may need an electrical service upgrade if you are adding:
EV chargers
Heat pumps or air conditioning
Hot tubs or saunas
Modern kitchen appliances
Home additions or renovations
Smart home systems
Workshop equipment
Secondary suites
An outdated service can cause tripped breakers, flickering lights, overheating panels, electrical hazards, or limited capacity for new appliances.
