Why Your Home Needs a Service Upgrade

Homes built decades ago often run on electrical panels sized for a different era. As you add appliances, electronics, and EV chargers, that original setup can struggle to keep pace. Fromme Electric evaluates your current system and installs a properly sized upgrade so your home has the capacity it actually needs, now and down the road.

How We Work

Our Service Upgrade Process

Every upgrade starts with understanding what your home actually needs before any work begins.

01Step 1

Initial Consultation

We discuss your current setup, any issues you've noticed, and future plans like additions or EV charging that might affect capacity needs.

02Step 2

Panel Inspection

A technician examines your existing panel, wiring, and load capacity to identify what's outdated or undersized for current demand.

03Step 3

Upgrade Plan

Based on findings, we recommend the right amperage and equipment, explaining what changes and why it matters for your home.

04Step 4

Installation

We install the new panel and associated wiring, working to minimize disruption to your household during the process.

05Step 5

Final Testing

Once installed, we test the system to confirm everything operates correctly before we consider the job complete.

Frequently asked

Service Upgrade Questions

Get clear answers about service upgrades, preparation, timing, maintenance, and what to expect before requesting an estimate.

Q1

How do I know if I need a service upgrade?

Signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, a panel with fuses instead of breakers, or plans to add an EV charger or major appliance. An inspection can confirm whether your current setup is adequate.

Q2

What amperage does my home actually need?

It depends on square footage, appliances, and future plans. Many homes today are moving to 200 amp service, but a load calculation during consultation will tell you exactly what fits your situation.

Q3

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most upgrades are completed in a day, though timing can vary based on panel location, wiring complexity, and whether utility coordination is required.

Q4

Will I lose power during the upgrade?

Yes, power is shut off temporarily while the old panel is removed and the new one installed. We schedule this portion of the work to keep the outage as brief as possible.

Q5

Do I need permits for a service upgrade?

Electrical service upgrades typically require permits and inspection. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with local authorities as part of the installation process.

Q6

Can you upgrade service for an EV charger?

Yes. EV chargers draw significant power, and many homes need a capacity increase to support one safely alongside existing electrical loads. We size the upgrade to your specific charger.

Q7

What's the difference between a repair and an upgrade?

A repair fixes a specific problem with existing equipment. An upgrade replaces the panel or wiring entirely to increase capacity or bring an older system up to current standards.
