200 Amp Panel Upgrade in Crossville, TN

If your current panel is holding you back, whether that's tripped breakers, a home addition, or plans for an EV charger or solar system, a 200 amp upgrade gives you the capacity to grow without overloading your electrical system.
Do You Need 200 Amp Service?
Most homes built before the 1990s in Crossville were wired for 60 to 100 amps, which was enough for the electrical demands of that era but often falls short today. If you're dealing with frequent breaker trips, dimming lights when appliances run, or you're planning any of the upgrades below, it's a strong sign you need 200 amp service. For a full breakdown of warning signs, see our Electrical Panel Upgrade guide.

How much does a 200 amp panel upgrade cost?
Cost depends on your current panel condition, wiring, and any additional work needed for permitting or utility coordination. We provide a clear, written estimate before any work begins.
How long does the upgrade take?
Most 200 amp upgrades are completed in a single day, though scheduling with the utility for the service disconnect and reconnect can affect the exact timeline.
Do I need a permit for a 200 amp upgrade?
Yes, a permit through the Crossville Building & Codes Department is required. Gibson Electric handles the permitting process for you as part of the job.
Is 100 amp still enough, or do I need 200?
It depends on your home's size and current and future electrical demand. We perform a load calculation and give you an honest recommendation rather than upselling a size you don't need.
Will a 200 amp panel prepare my home for solar or an EV charger?
Yes, 200 amp service is generally the recommended minimum for solar interconnection, battery storage, and Level 2 EV charging, and we can size the panel to support these additions now or in the future.
