Do Smart Panels like Span or Leviton Eliminate the Need for a 200-amp Service Upgrade?

Yes, smart panels like the Span smart panel can effectively eliminate the need for a costly 200-amp service upgrade through intelligent energy management. While a traditional breaker box might require a full service upgrade to handle increased demands—such as adding an EV charger or solar array—a smart panel utilizes automated load shedding and dynamic load management.

This technology allows the system to prioritize essential circuits and automatically defer non-critical loads during periods of peak demand. By balancing the power usage within your home’s current capacity, we can help you avoid the expensive process of upgrading your main electrical service.

Key advantages of choosing this route include:

• Cost Savings: You can save thousands of dollars by avoiding a full service upgrade, allowing the investment in a smart panel to pay for itself over time.
• Tax Credits: Installations are eligible for the federal smart electrical panel tax credit (25C), which can cover up to 30% of the cost (up to $600).
• Real-Time Monitoring: You gain circuit-level tracking via a smartphone app to identify energy waste and prevent overloads.

Our fully trained technicians ensure all work meets or exceeds electrical codes and industry standards. Because safety is our #1 priority, we focus on providing a solution that optimizes your home’s efficiency without compromising its electrical integrity.

Results may vary based on individual circumstances and building conditions. Licensed electricians handle all work.
