More Confidence In Who You Hire
Request Electrical Panel Upgrade
We’ll review your request as soon as possible and contact you within 24 hours.
Make room for planned electrical changes
New equipment can require more than an available breaker position. Reviewing the panel arrangement and electrical demand together helps determine what changes are needed to support the proposed circuits without assuming every project requires a larger service.
There is no suitable place for a new circuit
A crowded panel can prevent an otherwise ready charger, appliance or renovation project from moving forward.
New equipment changes the home's demand
Adding major electrical loads can exceed what the current arrangement was planned to supply.
Previous additions are difficult to organize
A confusing or unsuitable distribution arrangement can complicate further electrical work.

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.

Match the panel arrangement to the planned loads
An upgrade is useful when it resolves a specific distribution or capacity constraint.
Support the agreed new circuits
A suitable arrangement provides a place for the circuit protection and wiring the approved equipment needs.
Avoid choosing equipment in isolation
Considering existing demand and future additions together helps define the necessary electrical work.
Distinguish required work from optional changes
An assessment explains whether panel changes are sufficient or whether service capacity needs attention too.
Your Next Steps
Planning a panel upgrade around your project
Start with the equipment you want to operate, then evaluate the distribution needed to serve it.
01
List the planned additions
Provide equipment ratings or model information and any renovation plans already available.
02
Assess the current arrangement
Review the existing panel, service capacity and connected demand against the proposed work.
03
Install the agreed upgrade
The authorized project updates the distribution equipment and connections included in the plan.
04
Check the upgraded arrangement
Review the affected circuits, identification and any remaining steps before connecting separate new equipment.
Panel upgrade planning and equipment details
The illustrative images show panel work, a project discussion and a review of circuit labels.
Working inside the panel

Discussing the upgrade plan

Before You Book
Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQs
These questions help clarify whether the constraint is panel space, electrical demand or both.
Is a full panel the same as a service-capacity problem?
No. A panel can run out of circuit space even when the service has usable capacity. Demand can also be a concern where empty spaces remain. Both need assessment.
Does an upgrade always mean 200 amps?
No. The appropriate service and panel arrangement depend on existing loads, planned equipment and the property's electrical supply.
Can a subpanel solve the problem?
A subpanel may provide downstream circuit space where the feeder and existing service are suitable. It does not create additional whole-property supply capacity.
Should I choose my new equipment first?
Model and rating information helps define the required electrical work. You can also discuss options before purchasing equipment when capacity is uncertain.
Is the charger or appliance installation included?
Only if it is part of the agreed project. A panel upgrade and the separate equipment circuit or installation should be listed clearly in the scope.
How is the upgrade price determined?
The estimate depends on equipment, existing conditions, new circuits and any service changes. Ben'Z Electric offers free estimates for the proposed work.
