Expert Main Service Upgrade in San Carlos, CA
A main service upgrade replaces your home's existing electrical service with one built for today's power demands. Truth Electric Solutions handles this work for San Carlos homeowners who are running out of capacity. Many homes in San Carlos were built in the 1960s and 1970s. The original 100-amp service made sense then. It does not hold up against EV chargers, heat pumps, home offices, and modern appliances running at once. Our process starts with a load evaluation of your meter base, main panel, and circuit layout. We identify exactly what your home needs before any work begins. We coordinate all required work with PG&E and handle the city inspection process. The finished installation meets current California Electrical Code standards. If your breakers trip often, your lights dim when appliances kick on, or you are planning to add a major load, call Truth Electric Solutions in San Carlos to get a clear picture of your options.

FAQ
Main Service Upgrade FAQ
Common questions about main service upgrade in San Carlos, CA.
Frequent breaker trips, lights that dim when large appliances start, or a panel under 200 amps are clear signs. Homes in San Carlos built before 1980 are especially likely to need an upgrade when adding new electrical loads.
Yes, a city inspection is required for any main service upgrade in San Carlos. Truth Electric Solutions manages the inspection coordination as part of the job.
Yes, we coordinate directly with PG&E for the service disconnect and reconnect required during a main service upgrade. San Carlos homeowners do not need to contact PG&E separately.
Yes, upgrading your service is often the first step before installing a Level 2 EV charger. We run a load calculation to confirm what your San Carlos home needs before recommending an amperage.
A 200-amp service is the current standard for most San Carlos residential upgrades. Homes with very high electrical demand, such as those adding battery storage or multiple EV chargers, may require a larger service.
Not always. A main service upgrade covers the full service entry, meter base, and main panel, while a panel replacement may only swap the panel box. Truth Electric Solutions assesses your San Carlos home's full service to determine what work is needed.
