Electrical Panel Upgrade
in Kingston, NY
Kingston, NY · Hudson Valley · Since 1995
Electrical panel upgrades in Kingston and the Hudson Valley. Safely accommodate EVs, heat pumps, and modern electrical loads with a panel that meets today's needs.
Older homes in the Hudson Valley were designed for a fraction of today's electrical loads. A 100-amp panel built in the 1970s wasn't engineered for EV chargers, heat pumps, whole-home air conditioning, and modern kitchen appliances running simultaneously. An electrical panel upgrade is the foundation that makes all of these additions possible — safely and legally.

The Upgrade Process
A panel upgrade typically takes one day. We pull the required permit, coordinate the utility disconnect (Central Hudson or NYSEG), install the new panel and service entrance, transfer existing circuits, and add circuits for planned loads. The utility reconnects service and we complete the inspection process with your local building department. You're back to full power the same day.
Panel Upgrades and Rebates
If you're upgrading your panel as part of a home electrification project — adding a heat pump, heat pump water heater, and EV charger — you may qualify for NYS Clean Heat rebates through your utility (Central Hudson, NYSEG, or National Grid) and NYSERDA programs. We'll document everything you need.
