Electrical Panel Upgrade in Beverly Hills
A panel upgrade replaces your main service panel with one that has more amperage and breaker space, and in Beverly Hills, that frequently means going from 200A to 400A service rather than the more typical 100A-to-200A upgrade seen elsewhere. Extensive smart home automation and pool heat pumps are the most common drivers we see for a jump of that size.
You’re in good hands. Our team will follow up promptly.
Why 400A Upgrades Are More Common in Beverly Hills
A 200A panel is more than enough for a standard household, but adding whole-property smart-home automation, multiple HVAC zones, pool heat pumps, and dual EV charging all at once pushes total demand well past what most homes ever draw. At that point, a 400A upgrade isn’t overkill, it’s the accurate capacity for the equipment mix.
Because a jump to 400A service can also require coordination with the utility for transformer capacity, this upgrade takes more planning than a standard residential job.
What a Panel Upgrade Involves
- Load calculation confirming the full equipment mix requires 400A capacity
- Coordination with Southern California Edison for transformer service upgrades where needed
- Installation of dual 200A panel boards or a 400A commercial-grade meter main enclosure
- Dual ground rod installation and updated main bonding conductors
- Even division of subpanel feeds across both main breaker sections

FOR HOMEOWNERS
A Recent Beverly Hills Panel Upgrade: What We Did
A grand estate in Beverly Hills required a main electrical panel upgrade from 200A to 400A service to support extensive smart home automation and pool heat pumps. We coordinated with the local utility company for transformer service upgrades and installed dual 200A panel boards.
The work included installing a 400A commercial-grade meter main enclosure, driving dual copper ground rods and updating the main bonding conductors, and dividing residential subpanel feeds evenly across both main breaker sections.
The upgraded power infrastructure passed city building inspection without any issues, giving the property enough capacity for its full automation and mechanical systems with room to spare.
If you just want to confirm whether your current panel can support one more major addition before committing to a full upgrade, our Electrical Safety Inspection in Beverly Hills page covers that capacity check.

Common Questions About Panel Upgrades in Beverly Hills
Do I really need 400A service for my home?
Not always, but if you’re running whole-property automation, multiple HVAC zones, pool heat pumps, and EV charging together, the combined load often justifies it; we’ll confirm with a load calculation first.
Does the utility need to get involved in a 400A upgrade?
Often yes, a jump to 400A service can require coordination with Southern California Edison for transformer capacity, which we handle as part of the project.
How long does an estate-scale panel upgrade take?
These typically take longer than a standard upgrade, often several days, given the utility coordination and larger scope of equipment involved.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade?
Yes, panel upgrades always require a city permit and inspection, which we handle as part of the project.
