⚡ Electrical Service Upgrades for Central
and Southern New Hampshire Homes
Is your home struggling to keep up with today’s energy demands? Whether your breakers are constantly tripping or you're installing new appliances or systems, an electrical service upgrade may be exactly what you need.
At Lenn Johnson Electric, we specialize in upgrading outdated electrical service panels to meet modern safety standards and power demands. Our licensed electricians serve homeowners across Southern New Hampshire with safe, efficient, and code-compliant electrical upgrades.
⚡ Why Upgrade Your Electrical Service?
Older homes were never designed to support the energy needs of today’s modern household. Between electric vehicles, HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, and smart home tech, many homes quickly outgrow their original electrical service capacity.
Here are common signs that it's time for an upgrade:
Frequent breaker trips or blown fuses
Lights that flicker or dim regularly
Reliance on extension cords or power strips
Adding large new appliances (e.g., electric range, hot tub)
Planning home renovations or additions
Fuse box instead of a circuit breaker panel
Your panel is rated under 100 amps
Upgrading to 100, 150, or 200 amps ensures your home can handle today’s load safely and efficiently.
🛠️ What’s Included in an Electrical Service Upgrade?
When you choose Lenn Johnson Electric, our skilled electricians will evaluate your home’s electrical system and determine the safest and most efficient upgrade path.
Our electrical service upgrade includes:
Electrical load calculation and consultation
Replacement of outdated fuse or breaker panels
Upgrade from 60 or 100 amps to 200 amps
Installation of new circuit breakers and grounding systems
Service mast and meter box updates (if needed)
Coordination with your local utility company
Full inspection to ensure NEC and local code compliance
