Electrical Service Upgrade in LA County
An electrical service upgrade increases the total amount of power your utility company delivers to your property. This is different from a panel upgrade — a service upgrade involves upgrading the meter base, service entrance cables, weatherhead, and main disconnect in addition to the electrical panel. SM Electric Services Corp handles complete electrical service upgrades for homes and businesses throughout LA County, with California State Contractor License #964466 and over 17 years of experience since 2008.
When You Need a Service Upgrade
- Your home has 60-amp or 100-amp service and needs more capacity
- You are adding an EV charger, central air, pool equipment, or other high-demand loads
- You are building an ADU or addition that requires additional electrical capacity
- Your utility company requires a service upgrade for solar panel installation
- You are converting from overhead to underground service
- Your meter base or service entrance is damaged or outdated
- You need three-phase power for commercial or industrial equipment
