Panel Upgrades in Bellevue, WA

Modern homes pull more power than 100-amp panels were built for. We upgrade to 200-amp service with clean, labeled, inspection-ready work.

Homes built through the 1960s to 1980s in Somerset, Lake Hills, and Crossroads were wired for a different era of appliances. A 100-amp panel that worked fine decades ago struggles once you add central AC, an EV charger, and a heat pump, which is why panel upgrades are one of our most common Bellevue calls.

  • Breakers trip when the AC and oven run together

Bellevue is our home base -- no drive time, we're already there. Permits for panel upgrades work in Bellevue go through the City of Bellevue Development Services (Permit Center, 450 110th Ave NE) -- we pull it, schedule the inspection, and hand you the closed-out paperwork.

Local notes

Panel Upgrades in Bellevue: what's different here

Somerset, Lake Hills and Crossroads have a lot of 1970s-era panels, and some of those homes still have aluminum branch wiring. Many older Bellevue homes still have 100-amp or fuse panels. Adding a heat pump, EV charger or kitchen remodel usually means upgrading to 200 amps. We do the load calculation, pull the permit and coordinate the disconnect with PSE.

Permits and inspections

A panel upgrade always needs an electrical permit and a final inspection. Bellevue runs its own electrical permit and inspection program, so permits for this work go through the City of Bellevue rather than Washington L&I (L&I list of cities). We pull the permit and meet the inspector.

Utilities

Electric service in Bellevue is provided by PSE. For panel, meter and service work we schedule the disconnect and reconnect with the utility for you.
