Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade in NYC
- Circuit breakers that trip frequently or won’t reset
- Fuse box instead of a breaker panel (very common in pre-war NYC buildings)
- 60-amp or 100-amp service that can’t support modern appliances, in-unit laundry, or EV charging
- Lights dimming when you run the microwave or AC
- You’re adding a major appliance, home office, or EV charger and need a dedicated circuit
- Your home inspector flagged the panel as a safety concern
- Your insurance company won’t insure (or renew) due to the panel type
NYC Electrical Panel Upgrade Process
- Same-day assessment — We evaluate your current panel, service entry, and load requirements.
- Flat-rate quote — You get an exact price before any work starts. No hourly guessing.
- Permit filing — We file the required permit with the NYC Department of Buildings.
- Panel installation — We upgrade your panel and service to 100-amp, 150-amp, or 200-amp depending on your needs.
- Inspection and sign-off — We coordinate the Con Edison or DOB inspection and ensure you pass.
100-Amp vs 200-Amp Service — What Does NYC Need?
Most older NYC apartments and homes run on 60-amp or 100-amp service — fine for the 1950s, not so much for a modern apartment with central AC, in-unit laundry, multiple home offices, and an EV charger. Here’s a quick guide:
- 100-amp service — Adequate for smaller apartments with gas cooking and limited electrical loads
- 150-amp service — A good middle ground for mid-size apartments with AC and modern appliances
- 200-amp service — Required for homes with electric heat, EV charging, whole-house generators, or large appliance loads
Not sure what you need? We’ll assess your load and recommend the right upgrade during a same-day visit.
