Tell us about the existing electrical panel, service rating and equipment you plan to add. EL-FI Homes evaluates main-panel replacements and service-capacity upgrades for aging electrical equipment, solar, battery storage, EV charging, heat pumps and other major home loads.
A 200-amp upgrade is not automatically required for every home-electrification project. The appropriate solution depends on the existing service, calculated loads, equipment requirements, utility conditions and approved project scope.
