Why a 200 Amp Upgrade Might Be Exactly What You Need

Many homes across Cape Cod — especially ones built before the 1990s — still run on 100 amp panels. That was fine for a simpler time. But today’s homes are loaded with more power-hungry systems:

  • EV chargers

  • Heat pumps

  • Tankless water heaters

  • Large kitchen appliances

  • Home offices with multiple devices

When your electrical panel can’t keep up, it can trip breakers constantly, overheat wires, or even become a fire hazard. A 200 amp service upgrade solves this at the source.

Austin replaced my electrical panel. He kept me informed during the entire process and took the time to explain the how-to’s of plugging in my power unit in case of a power failure. Excellent and thorough work ethic.

Cape Cod Experience, Cape Cod Trust

Shameless Plug Electric isn’t just licensed and insured — we’re local. Based out of Buzzards Bay, we’ve upgraded panels from Barnstable to Mashpee to Orleans. We know what local inspectors look for, how to coordinate with Eversource, and how to keep the process clean and professional from start to finish.

Austin was amazing with his pricing, work, and clean-up... He was timely and super responsive. Both times we had him work for us was right before having both of our girls. We would highly recommend Austin and his company for any electrical work.

What’s Involved in a 200 Amp Service Upgrade?

A full upgrade isn’t just a matter of swapping boxes. It takes careful planning, local permit coordination, and working with your utility provider. Here’s what we handle for you:

  • Load calculation to determine proper service size

  • Replacement of the panel and main breaker

  • New grounding and bonding system

  • Meter socket replacement if required

  • Utility coordination and permit inspection

We make the process simple, smooth, and as fast as the town and utility will allow.

Plan Ahead for the Power You Actually Need

Most people don’t think about their electrical panel until something goes wrong. But by then, it’s often too late — and you’re stuck scrambling to fix a bigger problem. If you’re planning any of the following in the next year, it’s time to talk:

  • Adding an EV charger

  • Installing a heat pump or mini split

  • Renovating a kitchen or home office

  • Expanding your home or finishing a basement

A 200 amp panel gives you the capacity to grow without worry. It also increases home value and can reduce insurance risks.
