More Confidence In Who You Hire
Request 200 Amp Service Upgrade
We’ll review your request as soon as possible and contact you within 24 hours.
Determine whether a 200 amp service suits your plans
A charger, electric heating system or substantial renovation can change how much power the home needs. The service should be assessed against those loads rather than choosing an amperage from the size of a replacement panel alone.
Major new loads exceed the current plan
Several electrical additions may require more supply capacity than the existing service can provide.
The existing service limits a project
Equipment choices can remain unresolved until the service demand and upgrade options are assessed.
Several service components need attention
An older meter arrangement, disconnect and panel may need a coordinated project rather than isolated replacements.

Ben's Electric has been great to work with. I have used them twice now. Very fast in responding to my problems. Resolved the problem both times.Read on Google ↗
They also stopped what they were doing and drove to Cornelius because i needed my outside lights fixed ASAP. I would highly recommend using Ben'z for any of your electrical needs.

Benz Electric resolved an ongoing issue in a short visit. I had a new water heater installed by Total Plumbing and have not had hot water for about 2 weeks. They came out 3 times and finally said it was the circuit breaker.Read on Google ↗
The electrician checked everything and determined they had installed a commercial heater and it wouldn’t work in a residential house. All of the specifications exceeded the residential requirements.
Thanks to Benz Electric. I would recommend them to anyone requiring their services.

Coordinate service capacity with the equipment you need
A service upgrade should resolve a demonstrated supply constraint and define the related work clearly.
Plan for the agreed household loads
Evaluating existing and proposed equipment helps establish whether 200 amp service is the appropriate target.
Coordinate the service equipment
Considering the meter, disconnect, conductors and panel together helps identify the complete upgrade scope.
Understand dependencies before work starts
Utility arrangements and required interruptions can be included in project planning rather than discovered mid-installation.
Your Next Steps
How a 200 amp service project is developed
A property assessment is needed before confirming the equipment, timing or suitability of the upgrade.
01
Review current and planned demand
Provide equipment ratings and details of the additions the service must support.
02
Define equipment and coordination needs
Assess the existing service arrangement, utility requirements and property-side changes involved.
03
Install the agreed service upgrade
The authorized work replaces or updates the service equipment included in the project with the required coordination.
04
Check the completed service arrangement
The finished equipment and affected circuits are reviewed, along with any remaining project or utility steps.

Before You Book
200 Amp Service Upgrade FAQs
Know what a service upgrade includes and why the whole electrical arrangement matters.
Does a 200 amp panel mean I have 200 amp service?
Not necessarily. A panel's rating does not by itself establish the capacity of the service conductors, meter arrangement or other supplying equipment.
Does every home need 200 amp service?
No. The appropriate capacity depends on the home's demand, planned loads and existing supply. An assessment should establish the need before the upgrade is chosen.
Will the utility need to be involved?
Service changes can require utility coordination. The responsible utility, existing connection and work proposed determine what arrangements are needed.
How long will my power be off?
The interruption depends on the service arrangement and project coordination. Discuss it during planning; a universal outage duration cannot be promised.
Are new charger or appliance circuits included?
Only where listed in the agreed project. Increasing service capacity does not automatically install every circuit needed for new equipment.
What determines the price?
Existing service conditions, equipment replacement, access and related work affect the estimate. Ben'Z Electric offers free estimates for the proposed upgrade.
