Damaged Service Entrance Removed and Replaced with a 200 Amp Upgrade

The old mast on this house had seen better days. Corroded, worn, and not up to the demands of a modern home - it needed to go. On top of that, the homeowner had siding work coming up, so the timing was right to pull the old service and start fresh before the new exterior went on.

We got up on the roof and removed the damaged mast entirely. From up there you can get a real sense of how much is involved - pulling old service entrance cable, working around the utility lines, and making sure everything is done safely before the new equipment goes in. It's not a simple swap. There's coordination involved, and the work has to be right.

Once the old mast was out, we installed a brand new 200 amp service entrance. That's a meaningful upgrade for most homes - it gives you the capacity to handle today's electrical loads without constantly pushing your system to its limits. HVAC units, EV chargers, modern appliances - they all demand more than older service equipment was built for.

The finished install is clean and secure. New mast, new meter base, new service entrance cable - everything up to current code and ready to handle whatever this home needs going forward. It also set the stage perfectly for the siding crew to come in and finish their work without any obstacles.

If your service entrance is aging, visibly damaged, or you're just not sure it's up to the job anymore, it's worth getting eyes on it. Worn service equipment isn't just an inconvenience - it's a safety issue. We handle service entrance installations and replacements and can help you figure out what your home actually needs.
