Answer a few questions to diagnose your electrical issue in your area.
What electrical issue are you experiencing?
Ohio is in Climate Zone 5 - Cool-Humid/Cold (significant heating, moderate cooling). Homes here typically have higher heating demands than cooling.
We estimate total load based on your electrical usage:
Most modern homes need 200-amp service. Smaller homes or condos might be fine with 100 amps. Larger homes with multiple AC units, EV chargers, or electric heat may need 300-400 amps (often split into multiple panels).
Upgrading from 100 to 200 amps typically costs $1,500-$3,000 for the panel work. If the utility needs to upgrade their service line or transformer, add $1,000-$5,000+.
Only if you have open spaces AND your calculated load allows it. An empty breaker space doesn't mean you can add load—you need headroom in your total amperage calculation.
Simply the maximum current available. A 200-amp service delivers twice the power of 100-amp. Modern homes with AC, electric dryers, and potential for EV charging typically need 200 amps.
