Direct answer
A useful electrical service upgrade scope starts with the property—not a generic package.
Older homes with 100-amp services struggle to run modern electric heat pumps, EV chargers, and hot tubs. We upgrade your overall property capacity to 200 Amps or 400 Amps, managing all utility and inspection coordination.

Kennedy can coordinate punch lists, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, painting, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, decks, exterior repairs, patios, landscaping, and maintenance planning. For outdoor work, drainage, grade, septic or well conditions, access, and restoration may affect the correct sequence.

Direct answers
Questions homeowners ask before moving forward
Clear answers help you decide whether the next step is a fit. Project-specific facts are confirmed during review and documented before work begins.
Does Kennedy accept electrical service upgrade requests in Monroe?
Yes. Kennedy accepts electrical service upgrade requests in Monroe. Availability is confirmed after the property, scope, timing, and any qualified-trade requirements are reviewed.
What should I send for a electrical service upgrade review?
Share the property town, observed condition or desired result, affected areas, timing, and any plans or previous diagnoses. Kennedy can arrange secure sharing if photos or documents are needed after the initial review.
Why should I upgrade from 100 to 200 amps?
A 200-amp service provides double the total power capacity, allowing you to run modern high-draw appliances, central AC, EV chargers, and heat pumps safely.
How long will the power be turned off during the upgrade?
Typically, the power is shut off for 4 to 6 hours on the day of the installation while utility connections are switched.
What is the difference between a panel upgrade and a service upgrade?
A panel upgrade replaces the indoor breaker box. A service upgrade increases the overall utility power entering your home, requiring a new meter box, heavier service cable, and grounding systems.
Can my utility service lines be run underground?
Yes, we can coordinate underground trenching and conduit installation to eliminate overhead wires, improving aesthetics and storm resilience.
Can Kennedy phase a larger home-improvement list?
Yes. Kennedy can help prioritize urgent conditions, enabling work, high-disruption projects, and finish stages so the sequence is practical.
