Panel Upgrades in Newcastle, 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.
Since Newcastle was built almost entirely from the 1990s onward, most panels here are in better shape than the older cities we serve — our Newcastle panel work is usually about adding capacity for a new EV charger or heat pump rather than replacing failing original equipment.
Symptoms we see every week in Newcastle
- Breakers trip when the AC and oven run together
- Still on a 100-amp or fuse-based panel
- Adding an EV charger, heat pump, or ADU
- Panel is unlabelled or has doubled-up breakers

Panel Upgrades in Newcastle: what's different here
Newcastle's newer homes usually have the panel capacity for an EV charger, but adding a heat pump at the same time still calls for a load calculation. Most Newcastle homes have 150 or 200-amp service. When an EV charger and heat pump together push past that, we upgrade the panel or install a load management device.
Permits and inspections
A panel upgrade always needs an electrical permit and a final inspection. Newcastle does not run its own electrical inspections, so electrical permits here go through Washington L&I. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection.
