Is a Service Upgrade Necessary?

Are you curious if you need a service upgrade?  Daunted at where to start?

For multifamily and commercial, we recommend an in-person visit to asses the existing electrical infrastructure and electrical loads.

For smaller multifamily buildings up to 4 units, a service of up to 200A can be enough for full electrification, if planned correctly.

For single-family dwellings, 100A is almost always enough electrical service for full electrification of all building systems, with EV charging.

We are committed to finding cost-efficient paths for you to remove gas from your building.  Please contact us to get a specific quote for your project.

How do I find my existing electrical service size?

For single-family, find the "main disconnect," which is the first circuit breaker on the property after the cables pass through the electric meter.  Without unscrewing the cover, look for a circuit breaker labeled "Main," or "Service Disconnect," typically a wider breaker.  The number on the breaker, which will probably be between 40 and 200, is most likely the upper limit on the amount of power that you can draw from the grid.  (When in doubt, or if the building has more than one electrical meter, call us.)
