Reading, PA Circuit Breaker Installation

If your home already gets enough total power from the utility company (e.g., 200-amp service) but your breaker box is old, full, or unsafe, you only need a panel upgrade. If your household power demand exceeds your current utility capacity (e.g., upgrading an old 100-amp service to 200 amps to add an EV charger), you need a full service upgrade. Essig can perform an electrical load calculation to tell you exactly what you need.

Most residential panel replacements require shutting off power for roughly 4 to 8 hours on the day of installation. Our team plans ahead to complete the work as quickly and safely as possible so your household experiences minimal disruption.

While a panel upgrade primarily improves home safety and circuit capacity, fixing loose connections, imbalanced loads, or inefficient breakers helps your home electrical system run cooler and more efficiently, preventing wasted energy.
