Panel Upgrades in Redmond, 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.
As Overlake's tech-driven growth pushes more homes toward EV chargers and heat pumps, the older panels in Education Hill and Grass Lawn are increasingly the bottleneck. We handle the permit, the load calculation, and the inspection so the upgrade is done right the first time.
01 · THE PROBLEM
Symptoms we see every week in Redmond
- 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

Local notes
Panel Upgrades in Redmond: what's different here
Older Education Hill and Grass Lawn panels were not sized for heat pumps and EV chargers, while newer Overlake construction usually has the capacity built in. Panel upgrades in Redmond are mostly in older Education Hill homes adding a heat pump or EV charger. We also replace recalled panel brands found in homes from that era.
Permits and inspections
A panel upgrade always needs an electrical permit and a final inspection. Redmond runs its own electrical permit and inspection program, so permits for this work go through the City of Redmond rather than Washington L&I (L&I list of cities). We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
