Electrical Panel Upgrade in Rhode Island

A lot of homes in Rhode Island still run on 60 or 100 amp panels installed decades ago, and many have fuse boxes or recalled breaker brands. An electrical panel upgrade from Variable Electrical Settlement Solutions gives you 200 amp service with room for an EV charger, heat pump, hot tub or home addition, and removes the fire risk of a worn-out panel.

Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQ

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Rhode Island?

A 200 amp panel upgrade in Rhode Island is typically priced as a flat job that includes the panel, breakers, grounding, permit and inspection. We give you the number in writing before scheduling.

How long is the power off during a panel replacement?

Usually four to six hours. We coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect so the outage is as short as possible.

Do I need 200 amps?

If you plan to add an EV charger, heat pump, electric range or hot tub, or if your Rhode Island home is over 1,800 square feet, 200 amp service is the sensible standard.

Is my fuse box dangerous?

Fuse boxes are not automatically unsafe, but they are usually undersized and often have oversized fuses installed. We can inspect it and tell you plainly whether replacement is worth it.

Reviews

★★★★★

“They rewired our 1920s colonial without destroying the plaster. We stayed in the house the whole time. Couldn't be happier with how careful the crew was.”

★★★★★

“Whole house generator installed before hurricane season. It's kicked on twice already and we didn't lose a thing in the freezer. Worth every penny.”

Carlos F., Rhode Island
★★★★★

“Smart switches throughout the house, including neutral retrofits in the old boxes. Everything works instantly with the app and the wall switches. Very knowledgeable.”
