Lauterborn Electric was recently called to South Philadelphia by a customer who wanted to upgrade his main electrical service from 100 to 200 amps. They wanted to have a bigger electrical service because they were planning on adding some air conditioning to the property.
So what does upgrading to 200 amps service get you? We install a new 40 circuit panel with all 200 amp services. This gives the customer the space and power to add more circuits to their property. Customers have been preparing for the future by adding power for electric car charging and converting gas to electric for ovens and heaters.
The pictures of this job in South Philly show the before and after of the in wall panel. The meter socket was installed outside and has PVC over the 200 amp service cable for added protection.
If you are looking to upgrade your main electrical service don’t hesitate to reach out. With a couple pictures of the existing service, we can give you a price.
