Electrical Panel Upgrades

Panel Upgrade Services

Your home's electrical panel is the central hub of your entire electrical system. If your panel is outdated or undersized, it can't safely handle the demands of modern appliances, HVAC systems, and electronics. Powerhound Electrical Solutions provides professional panel upgrades across Jacksonville, NC and all of Onslow County.

Many homes built before 2000 still have 100A panels that are insufficient for today's electrical loads. Upgrading to 200A or 400A service not only improves safety but also allows you to add EV chargers, home generators, central air, and other high-demand equipment without overloading your system.

Signs You Need a Panel Upgrade

• Frequent breaker trips when running multiple appliances
• Flickering or dimming lights when devices turn on
• Burning smells or warm outlets near your panel
• Panel is over 25 years old
• You're planning to add an EV charger, generator, or major appliance
• Your panel uses fuses instead of circuit breakers
• You need more circuits than your current panel allows

Our Panel Upgrade Process

We start with a free in-home assessment to evaluate your current panel and calculate your electrical loads. We then design an upgrade that meets your needs and budget. All work is permitted through Onslow County, performed by licensed electricians, and inspected before we close the job.

200A vs 400A Service

200A service is sufficient for most Onslow County homes and supports typical appliance loads plus an EV charger or generator. 400A service is recommended for larger homes with multiple HVAC zones, a workshop or outbuilding, electric vehicle charging, or plans to add a standby generator. We'll help you choose the right size.
