200 amp panel upgrade in Los Ojos: 100 amp to 200 amp service

A 100 amp service was plenty when homes ran a gas furnace, a swamp cooler and a few outlets. Add central air, an electric range, an EV charger or a heat pump and it runs out fast. A 200 amp panel upgrade in Los Ojos replaces the panel and, where needed, the meter base, service wires and grounding so the whole service is rated for 200 amps, not just the box.

Breaker box replacement and fuse box replacement

Fuse boxes and some older breaker panels are past their service life. Certain brands, including Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco, have well-documented problems with breakers that fail to trip. Our breaker box replacement and fuse box replacement service in Los Ojos installs a modern panel with new breakers and proper grounding and bonding.

Main panel upgrade and sub panel installation

Sometimes the main panel is fine but full. A sub panel installation adds breaker space for a garage, workshop, casita or addition without replacing the main. When the main itself is the weak link, a main panel upgrade is the right fix. We'll tell you which one your home needs.

Electrical panel upgrade cost in Los Ojos

Electrical panel upgrade cost depends on the amperage, whether the meter base and service wires need replacing, the panel location and what the utility requires. As a service upgrade electrician in Los Ojos, we inspect the existing service first and give you one clear price for the complete job.

Electrical work in Los Ojos and Rio Arriba County

Electric baseboard heat, radiant floors, well pumps and mini-split heat pumps all draw real amperage. Homes around Los Ojos that add a heat pump or EV charger to an older service often need a panel or service upgrade first, and we check that with a load calculation.

Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQ for Los Ojos

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Los Ojos?

The price depends on amperage, the condition of the meter base and service wires, and where the panel sits. A like-for-like panel swap costs less than a full 100 to 200 amp service upgrade. We inspect first and quote the complete job.

How long will the power be off?

Most panel replacements are done in a day, with power off for roughly four to eight hours. We schedule the utility disconnect and reconnect so the outage is as short as possible.

Do I need 200 amps?

Many all-gas homes run fine on 100 amps. If you have or plan central air, electric cooking, an EV charger, a heat pump or a hot tub, 200 amps is usually the sensible size. A load calculation gives the real answer.

Can I add a sub panel instead of upgrading?

If the service has spare capacity and you only need more breaker spaces, yes. If the service itself is too small, a sub panel just moves the problem.

What customers say

Our old panel was full and kept tripping when the air conditioner came on. They upgraded us to 200 amps in one day, labeled every breaker and left the wall cleaner than they found it.
Maria G. Panel upgrade

Polite, on time and explained everything without talking down to me. I will call them again.
Rachel B. General

They put recessed lights in our living room even though there is no attic above it. Clean holes, no mess and the dimmer works perfectly.
