Do You Really Need an Electric Panel Upgrade for EV Charging, Hot Tubs, HVAC, and More?
Considering installing an EV charger, hot tub, New HVAC, or upgrading to energy efficient appliances? You might have been told or think you’ll need an expensive electric panel upgrade—but there's a smarter, more affordable alternative.
Does Your Home Really Need an Electric Panel Upgrade?
Many homes have electric panels that weren't designed to handle today’s high energy demands. Whether you’re looking to install an electric vehicle (EV) charger, integrate energy-intensive appliances like hot tubs, induction ranges, heat pumps, or solar battery systems, the traditional route has often meant costly panel upgrades, extended delays due to permits and utility approvals, and unnecessary frustration.
