Future-Proof Your Home's Electrical System

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's power system, but most homes built before 2020 have outdated panels that can't handle modern electrical demands. If you're planning to add solar panels, install an EV charger, or simply want to monitor your energy usage, a panel upgrade is essential.

The traditional approach is to upgrade your panel only when you absolutely need it - usually during a solar installation or EV charger project. This creates a "minimum upgrade" scenario where you only add enough capacity for immediate needs. Then, when you want to add more systems later, you're back to another expensive upgrade.

Our comprehensive panel upgrade package takes a smarter approach. We upgrade to 200A service with room for expansion, install a Leviton smart panel with circuit-level monitoring, and make your home ready for solar, EV chargers, and future electrical additions. Do it once, do it right, and know exactly where your electricity goes with real-time monitoring.

Whether you're planning solar installation in the next year or just want the capability for the future, this package ensures you're ready. The energy monitoring alone typically pays for the upgrade cost within 3-5 years by identifying electrical waste and helping you reduce consumption.

Why Leviton Smart Panel Monitoring?

Unlike traditional panels where you have no idea what's using power, Leviton's smart monitoring shows you exactly where every watt goes. This isn't just cool technology - it's practical energy management that saves money.

🔍 Identify Energy Hogs

See which circuits use the most power. Discover that old pool pump running 24/7, or the electric water heater that's oversized. Make informed decisions about what to upgrade or replace.

📊 Track Solar Performance

When you add solar later, monitor both production and consumption in one system. See how much you're generating, when you're drawing from the grid, and optimize your usage patterns.

⚠️ Detect Issues Early

Unusual power spikes or draws alert you to potential problems before they become expensive failures. Catch failing appliances, electrical issues, or phantom loads immediately.

💰 Lower Your Bills

Knowledge is power (literally). Customers typically reduce electricity usage by 15-20% just by seeing where power goes and making simple behavioral changes or targeted upgrades.
