200 Amp Service Upgrade with Pool Sub Panel and Excavation

This one had a lot of moving parts. We handled a full 200 amp service upgrade, ran new service entrance cable, did the excavation work to get power routed properly through the yard, and wrapped it all up with a new mounting board and dedicated pool sub panel. When a job has this many layers, coordination matters - and we kept it clean from start to finish.

Here's what a lot of homeowners don't think about: your pool equipment pulls a serious amount of power. Pumps, filters, heaters, lights - it adds up fast. If your main service is undersized or outdated, that's not just an inconvenience. It's a safety issue. Upgrading to a 200 amp service gives the whole home more headroom, and putting the pool on its own dedicated sub panel means that equipment has exactly what it needs to run correctly and safely.

The excavation piece is worth mentioning because it's where a lot of the real work happens. Getting the underground runs done right - at the right depth, properly protected - is the kind of thing you don't see once the job is done. That's the point. No shortcuts underground means no headaches down the road.

The new pool sub panel mounted on a fresh wood mounting board keeps everything organized and accessible right near the equipment. The service entrance work on the house side was done clean and up to code. Every piece of this job connects to the next, and that's exactly how it should be treated - as one complete system, not a series of separate tasks.

Outdated electrical service is one of those things people put off until something goes wrong. If your home is still running on an older panel, or your pool equipment keeps tripping breakers, that's your sign. Reliable power isn't something you want to gamble with - especially heading into the time of year when that pool is running every day.
