An electrical panel upgrade — also called a service upgrade — increases your home's electrical capacity to safely power modern appliances, EV chargers, air conditioning, and home additions. Jake Electric performs 200-amp and 400-amp service upgrades throughout Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, and Fairfield counties, handling all permits and Con Edison coordination from start to finish.

If your home still has a 60-amp or 100-amp panel, frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or you're planning to add an EV charger or central AC — a panel upgrade is the right first step. Most updated homes need at least 200 amps; larger properties with pools, hot tubs, or multiple HVAC systems benefit from 400-amp service.
Our licensed master electricians perform a full load calculation before recommending a panel size, so you're never paying for more capacity than you need. We also replace recalled panels — including Federal Pacific and Zinsco — which are common in older Westchester homes and present a serious fire risk.
We handle every step of the upgrade from permit application through final inspection, including coordination with Con Edison on the service entrance. The result is a safe, code-compliant panel ready for the demands of modern Westchester living.
Typically $1,500–$3,000, depending on the panel's location, existing wiring, and whether utility coordination with Con Edison is required.
Yes. All panel upgrades in New York require permits and inspection. Jake Electric handles this process entirely.
Common signs include breakers that trip frequently, a panel that feels warm to the touch, rust or burn marks, or a panel that's over 25 years old.
