200 amp panel upgrade in Regina: 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 Regina 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 Regina 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 Regina
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 Regina, we inspect the existing service first and give you one clear price for the complete job.
Signs your Regina home needs a panel upgrade
- Breakers trip when two large appliances run together
- The panel is full, with tandem breakers squeezed in
- It's a fuse box, or the panel is 40 or more years old
- The panel is warm, buzzing, rusted or scorched
- You're adding air conditioning, an EV charger or a hot tub
- Lights dim noticeably when the air conditioner starts
Electrical work in Regina and Sandoval County
Many homes around Regina were built for an evaporative (swamp) cooler and a gas range. Switching to refrigerated air, adding an EV charger or putting in an induction cooktop can push an older 100 amp service past what it was designed for, so we run a load calculation before adding any large circuit.
Electric service in Sandoval County is typically provided by PNM or Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, depending on your address.

Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQ for Regina
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Regina?
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.
We are on a well, so no power means no water. The standby generator they installed has kicked in on its own every time since. Worth every penny.
Half the house went dark at 9 at night and there was a burning smell at the panel. Someone answered straight away, told me what to shut off and had an electrician out fast. Fixed that night.
