Why NY Homeowners Choose IGS for Electrical Upgrades
Over 1,000 residential installations across Upstate New York.
200-Amp Service Upgrade
Most older NY homes run 100-amp or 150-amp electrical service — not enough for today's EV chargers, heat pumps, and solar arrays. A 200-amp service upgrade gives your home the capacity it needs.
Main Panel and Breaker Replacement
Aging breaker panels — particularly Zinsco, Federal Pacific, and older fuse panels — can be safety hazards. We replace main panels and breaker boxes with modern, code-compliant equipment.
Permitted & Inspected NY Work
Electrical panel work and service upgrades are permit-and-inspection work in New York. IGS is a licensed NY Home Improvement Contractor (HIC WC-32128-H19). Our inhouse electrical crew handles permits, utility coordination, and the full installation — no subcontractors.
How Electrical Upgrades Saves You Money
Upgrade Your Electrical Service
A 200-amp service upgrade gives your home the amperage needed to support modern loads — EV Level 2 chargers (40–50 amps), heat pump systems, and solar grid-tie. Often required before any major upgrade.

What Our NY Customers Say
Reviews from real IGS customers across Upstate NY.
“IGS upgraded our electrical service before we got our heat pump. The crew handled permits, the utility coordination, and finished in one day. The new 200-amp panel handles everything with room to spare.”
“Our old Zinsco panel was a liability. IGS replaced it cleanly and handled the inspection. The whole job was done in a day and a half. I feel better knowing the electrical is right.”
“The solar company said we needed a panel upgrade first. IGS did the service upgrade and the solar in sequence — one team, no coordination headaches. The amperage was exactly what we needed.”
Common Questions About Electrical Upgrades
Do I need a 200-amp service upgrade?
If your home runs on 100-amp or 150-amp service and you're planning to add an EV charger, heat pump, or solar system — yes, in most cases. We'll assess your existing service and load in the consultation.
What's the difference between a service upgrade and a panel replacement?
A service upgrade changes the amperage coming into your home (from the utility meter through to the main breaker). A panel replacement swaps out the breaker box itself. Sometimes you need both — we'll identify exactly what's required.
How long does a 200-amp service upgrade take?
Most 200-amp service upgrades take 1–2 days on site. The utility may need to disconnect and reconnect power at the meter — we coordinate that scheduling.
Is a permit required for electrical panel work?
Yes — all electrical panel work and service upgrades in New York require a permit and inspection. IGS handles all permit applications and schedules the inspection.
Can I get the electrical upgrade done at the same time as my solar or heat pump install?
Yes — IGS installs electrical, solar, and heat pumps. We sequence the electrical upgrade first, then the service install. One team, one proposal.
