200A Panel Upgrade for a Rural Farmhouse

Upgraded a failing 100A panel to 200A service and prepared the home for EV charging and future heat pump load.

The problem

The existing panel was overloaded, nuisance-tripping during peak usage, and had no room for new circuits.

What we did

We coordinated utility disconnect/reconnect, replaced the panel with a code-compliant 200A setup, relabeled all breakers, and installed dedicated circuits for future expansion.

Results

Zero nuisance trips after installation, cleaner load distribution, and the homeowner can now safely add EV charging.
