Electrical Panel Service Upgrades — 200A & 400A
More Electrical Capacity for a Growing Home or Business
Modern homes and businesses rely on more electrical power than ever. New appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, equipment, additions, and renovations can push an existing electrical service beyond what it was designed to handle.
Gator Electric provides professional 200A and 400A electrical service upgrades for residential and commercial properties throughout Palm Beach County. We evaluate your existing service, determine your electrical requirements, and provide the appropriate upgrade to support your current and future power needs.
Is Your Existing Electrical Service Running Out of Capacity?
Your electrical panel may appear to be working normally while still being undersized for your property's current or planned electrical demand. Adding major equipment to an already limited service can create capacity issues and restrict future upgrades.
Common Warning Signs
- Frequent Breaker Trips
- Adding High-Demand Equipment
- Limited Panel Capacity
- Older Electrical Service
- Major Renovations or Additions
- Planning Future Upgrades

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an electrical service upgrade?
An electrical service upgrade increases the amount of electrical power available to a property and may involve upgrading the panel, service entrance equipment, conductors, meter equipment, and other components.
When should I upgrade to 200A service?
A 200A upgrade may be appropriate when your existing service doesn't provide enough capacity for your current or planned electrical loads. A load evaluation can help determine the appropriate size.
When would I need 400A service?
400A service may be appropriate for properties with substantially higher electrical demand, such as larger homes, commercial properties, or buildings with significant equipment loads. The appropriate service size should be determined through an electrical load evaluation.
Does installing an EV charger require a 200A or 400A upgrade?
Not necessarily. Some properties have sufficient existing capacity for an EV charger, while others may require additional electrical infrastructure. The charger's requirements and the property's existing load need to be evaluated.
Will a service upgrade stop my breakers from tripping?
If the underlying issue is insufficient service capacity, an upgrade may help. However, repeated breaker trips can have other causes, so the electrical system should be evaluated before assuming a service upgrade is necessary.
Does a service upgrade require utility involvement?
It can. Service upgrades may require coordination with the local utility, particularly when the service size, meter equipment, or service connection is being changed.
Can you upgrade my electrical service during a renovation?
Yes. A major renovation can be an excellent opportunity to evaluate and upgrade electrical service capacity alongside other electrical improvements.
Do I need 400A service just because I have a large home?
Not necessarily. Service size should be based on calculated electrical demand and the property's actual and planned loads rather than square footage alone.
