Many older Bergen County homes were built with 60A, 100A, or a fuse box — fine for the 1970s, but tight for today's central air, electric appliances, hot tubs, and EV chargers. A 200A service upgrade gives most homes comfortable room to grow.
We don't guess. We perform a proper load calculation based on your home and your plans, then recommend the right size — sometimes that's 200A, sometimes your existing service is perfectly fine. Either way, you get a straight answer, not an upsell.

If your home still has a Federal Pacific (Stab-Lok) or Zinsco panel, it's worth taking seriously. These panels are widely recognized in the electrical industry as a potential fire hazard — their breakers can fail to trip during a fault — and many home insurers ask that they be replaced. We've replaced many across Bergen County.
We strongly recommend replacement. If you also notice a burning smell, scorch marks, or warm breakers, treat it as urgent and call us right away at 201-397-5400.
We install trusted, widely-supported panels and breakers — so your system is reliable and easy to service for years to come.
Panel and service upgrades in New Jersey require an electrical permit and a town inspection — and a service upgrade also involves coordinating with the utility.

If contractor attendance is required by the municipality or inspector, we make the appropriate arrangements. You get a clean, fully-documented upgrade with no runaround.
