Electrical Panel Upgrades in Brooklyn
Half of the Brooklyn homes we walk into are still running a panel sized for a 1960s household. Add central air, an induction range and an EV and the breakers start telling you about it. We upgrade services, install sub-panels and convert fuse boxes to modern breaker panels.
A typical Brooklyn upgrade means coordinating with the utility for the service change, replacing the meter pan and service entrance conductors where needed, and installing a new 200A panel with proper grounding and bonding. In brownstones and row houses we also correct the grounding electrode — old water-main clamps are frequently corroded or bypassed entirely by plastic plumbing repairs.
For basement apartments, garden-level rentals and rear extensions, a sub-panel is often the cheaper answer than a full service upgrade. We tell you which one your load calculation actually supports.
