Upgrade Your Electrical Capacity
Your home’s electrical panel (also known as a breaker panel, load center, service panel, or breaker box) is the hub for your electricity and houses the circuit breakers.
As part of upgrading your appliances, you may need more electrical capacity for your home. If that’s the case, it’s worth upgrading your electric panel to at least 200 amps.
It may also be worthwhile to add a 100 amp panel to your garage for charging electric cars in the future.
