What Is a Heavy Up & Do You Need One?
A heavy up (also called a panel capacity upgrade) increases the amperage that your electrical panel can handle—typically from 100 amps to 200 amps or more. This ensures your electrical system can manage a higher load safely and without constant tripping or overheating.
You may need a heavy up if:
Your home is over 20 years old
You’ve recently added a room, garage, or home office
You’ve installed high-powered appliances or a workshop
You’re upgrading to central HVAC or installing an EV charger
Your lights dim when appliances are in use
At Voltus Electric, we’ll assess your current panel and recommend the right upgrade to ensure safety, performance, and future readiness.
Signs Your Home Needs a Panel Upgrade
Be on the lookout for these warning signs that your panel is outdated or overloaded:
Flickering or dimming lights
Buzzing sounds when plugging in appliances
Frequent circuit breaker trips
Localized power outages
Burnt smells or hot panel surfaces
If you’re seeing these issues, don’t wait—call Voltus Electric before minor issues turn into major risks.
Risks of Delaying a Heavy Up
Ignoring the need for a panel upgrade or heavy up can put your home at risk. An overloaded or aging panel can cause:
Constant tripped breakers and power interruptions

Burned-out circuits and potential electrical fires
Don’t let your home become a hazard. Upgrading your panel is not just about convenience—it’s about protecting your family and property.

Frequently Asked Questions
A panel upgrade typically means replacing an old or outdated electrical panel with a newer, safer, and more efficient one.
