What Is an Electrical Service Change?

People in Marietta regularly ask us: what is an electrical service change? On the surface, it’s relatively straightforward. Your electrical panel can handle a limited amount of electricity. If you have an old fuse box, that limit is probably about 60-amps. If you have a circuit breaker panel, you likely have between 100 and 200 amps. That means you can run a lot more electricity through your home’s circuits without overloading the system. In a service change, a certified electrical contractor—like Hifi Audio & Video LLC—will upgrade your electrical panel so that it can handle a higher capacity.

What Is the Advantage of an Electrical Service Change?

The most obvious advantage is that you can use more electricity. Where your 100-amp electrical service would sometimes not be enough to run everything you want, your 200-amp service will.

You’ll be able to run your baseboard heaters, your refrigerator, your oven, your TV, your stereo system, your ceiling fan, your desktop computer, your smartphone charging station, and your vacuum cleaner—all at the same time. That’s not particularly economical, but sometimes you just need to run more power. Why not be prepared for those unexpected moments?

The other thing is that it’s much safer to have an electrical panel with a higher capacity. You don’t need to go crazy with it, a normal residential electrical panel can handle 400-amps. Those are reserved for commercial electrical systems. A properly wired 200-amp service panel will protect you and your loved ones from the possibility of losing power or causing an electrical fire.
