Easy Electrification for Your Beloved Home

December 07, 2023

It can be easy and fast to electrify your home if you choose strategies that don’t include rewiring, and particularly if you avoid a “service upgrade,” which takes months and thousands of dollars to get a new, thicker electrical wire from the utility. In fact, in most cases, it is not actually necessary to upgrade the panel since the existing one likely has the needed capacity to handle efficient right sized electrification. Using thoughtful electrification processes and cutting-edge appliances and supporting equipment, most residential electrification can be accomplished successfully with the existing 100A (100 Amp, 24 kilowatt) panel. The speakers will discuss the best practices, techniques, and technologies available today to accomplish electrification without the expensive and time-consuming task of upgrading existing electrical panels.
