Electrical Panel Upgrade in Monticello, WI
Thinking about an EV charger, a heat pump, a hot tub or a kitchen remodel? In Monticello the first question is usually whether the panel can take it. We handle the full 100 amp to 200 amp upgrade: permit, utility coordination, new panel, new breakers and inspection.

A service upgrade is more than swapping a metal box. We run a load calculation to confirm the right size, replace the panel and main breaker, and upgrade the meter socket, service cable and grounding where needed. The utility disconnects and reconnects the service, and the work is permitted and inspected. Most Monticello panel replacements are finished in a single day with the power off for a few hours. Every circuit is labeled clearly when we are done, which sounds minor until the day you need to find one in a hurry.
Monticello is part of the fast-growing Madison region, where century-old homes stand a few blocks from brand-new construction. In Green County we see everything from knob and tube in older farmhouses and foursquares to new builds that want EV charging, solar and smart controls from day one.
We provide electrical panel upgrades throughout Monticello and in nearby New Glarus, Albany and Belleville.

Electrical Panel Upgrade questions from Monticello customers
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Monticello?
The price depends on the service size, whether the meter socket and service cable need replacing, how the service reaches the house and the condition of the grounding. We look at your setup and give a fixed written quote, so the electrical panel upgrade cost is clear before any work is booked.
How long will my power be off?
Usually four to eight hours on the day of the swap. We schedule the utility disconnect and reconnect in advance to keep the outage as short as possible.
Do I need a 200 amp panel or is 100 amp enough?
A small home with gas heat, gas water heating and no EV can run well on 100 amps. Add electric vehicle charging, a heat pump, an electric range or a hot tub and 200 amps is normally the right call. A load calculation settles it.
Is a permit required for a panel replacement in Monticello?
Yes. Panel and service work in Wisconsin requires an electrical permit and inspection. We handle the paperwork and meet the inspector.
