Our licensed electricians upgrade service entrance cables, meter bases, weatherheads, grounding electrode systems, and main panels as a complete, integrated project. We handle all coordination with Dominion Energy, obtain permits from Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Prince William County, Arlington, or your specific jurisdiction, and ensure the installation meets current NEC standards. A typical service upgrade from 100A to 200A or from 200A to 400A involves replacing the service entrance conductors, upgrading the meter base, installing a new main panel, and verifying the grounding electrode system meets NEC 250 requirements.
