Panel Upgrade IN CHATTANOOGA & NORTH GEORGIA
Power for How Your Home Lives Today
Your electrical panel distributes power to every circuit in your home. Many older homes still have 100-amp service, fuse boxes or panels that are full, worn or from brands with known reliability concerns. Meanwhile, today’s homes add heat pumps, EV chargers, tankless heaters, generators and home offices.
When the panel can’t keep up, you’ll see tripping breakers, dimming lights or no room for new circuits. A panel upgrade replaces the old panel with a modern one, and when needed increases your home’s service capacity.
Metro assesses your current system and planned additions, sizes the upgrade correctly and handles the permit, inspection and utility coordination. You’ll get an all-in, upfront price before work begins.

TRANSPARENT, UPFRONT PRICING
What Affects the Cost of Panel Upgrade?
Panel upgrade cost depends on the amperage you’re moving to, whether the service entrance and meter base need replacing, coordination with the electric utility, the number of circuits being moved, the panel’s location and permit and inspection requirements.
We assess your current panel and future needs and give you an all-in, upfront price, with financing available for qualified customers.
You always get the price before any work begins. Financing is available for qualified customers on larger jobs.
EXPERT TIP FROM METRO’S MASTER-CERTIFIED TEAM
Plan for Future Loads
If you're planning an EV charger, heat pump, hot tub or generator in the next few years, mention it when you upgrade your panel. Sizing for future loads now costs far less than upgrading twice.
