Many Colorado homes built before the 1990s still run on 100-amp service, or less. That was fine then. Today's homes add EV chargers, heat pumps, induction ranges, hot tubs and home offices.
Signs you need an upgrade
- You're adding an EV charger, heat pump or hot tub
- Breakers trip frequently
- Lights dim when large appliances start
- You have a fuse box or a known-problem panel brand
- No open breaker spaces remain
What the project involves
A panel upgrade typically includes a permit, utility coordination for disconnect/reconnect, a new meter base and service conductors as needed, the new panel, grounding and bonding updates, and a final inspection. Most are completed in one day.
What does it cost?
In Colorado, 100A→200A upgrades typically run $2,000–$4,500. See our pricing guide.
