Understanding 200-Amp Breaker Panels for Homes and Businesses
Upgrading to a 200-amp breaker panel is one of the smartest investments homeowners and businesses in Pottstown and the surrounding areas can make to ensure safety, reliability, and modern electrical capacity. At Adel Home Services, we work with trusted panels from major manufacturers and ensure that every installation meets National Electrical Code (NEC) and Pennsylvania’s Uniform Construction Code (UCC) requirements.
Why Upgrade to 200-Amp Service?
Most older homes were built with 60-amp or 100-amp panels, which no longer support today’s demand for appliances, EV chargers, HVAC systems, and expanded lighting. A 200-amp breaker panel provides:
Greater electrical capacity for modern living
Safer distribution of electricity, reducing overload risks
Room for future expansion (workshops, additions, electric vehicle charging)
Compliance with current code and inspection standards
Popular Brands & Types of 200-Amp Panels
When choosing a new panel, Adel Home Services typically installs or services panels from top manufacturers, including:
Square D (QO Series & Homeline) – Highly reliable, known for quality breakers and smart-ready panels.
Siemens 200-Amp Load Centers – Flexible and cost-effective, suitable for residential and light commercial setups.
Eaton BR & CH Series – Durable, widely used in Pennsylvania homes, with easy-to-replace breakers.
GE 200-Amp Panels – Common in older homes, often upgraded or expanded with modern configurations.
We also evaluate main breaker vs. main lug panels and indoor vs. outdoor panel enclosures, depending on the customer’s property layout and utility requirements.
Electrical System Requirements
A proper 200-amp panel installation requires:
Utility company approval and meter base compatibility
Correct conductor sizing (typically 4/0 aluminum or 2/0 copper for 200-amp service)
Updated grounding electrode system
Code-compliant bonding and surge protection where required
Our licensed electricians handle the entire process, from permitting and utility coordination to final inspection, ensuring a safe and code-compliant upgrade.
