Service Upgrade or Replacement
What Is It?
Your electrical service brings power from the street into your home. This includes the outside wiring, meter, and equipment that delivers electricity safely to your electrical panel. In many homes throughout Connecticut’s shoreline communities this equipment may need to be upgraded or replaced as homes age or electrical needs grow.
A service upgrade: increases how much power your home can handle
A service replacement: repairs or replaces worn or damaged service equipment
Homes often need service upgrades when adding renovations, air conditioning, electric vehicle chargers, or other modern electrical systems. Especially in older homes common throughout the Connecticut shoreline.
Common service sizes include:
60 amp – small cottages or older homes
100 amp – small homes
200 amp – standard for most modern homes
400 amp – larger homes with higher power needs
The higher the amp rating, the more electricity your home can safely use.
