Voltus Energy Solutions upgrades and replaces electrical panels for homeowners in Elizabeth and across Union County. If your home still has a fuse box, a 60- or 100-amp service, or a panel that cannot keep up with modern life, we will upgrade you to a safe, code-current 200-amp service – permit and PSE&G coordination included.
Why Elizabeth homes need panel upgrades
Elizabeth has a lot of older housing stock running on services that were never sized for central AC, EV chargers, and today’s appliance loads. An upgrade means fewer tripped breakers, room to add what you need, and a service that passes inspection when you sell.
What’s included
Municipal permit, PSE&G disconnect and reconnect coordination, new 200-amp panel and service equipment, code-current grounding and bonding, labeled circuits, and final inspection. Most upgrades are completed in a single day.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Elizabeth?
Upgrading 100-amp service to 200-amp starts at $4,500, more if the meter or service entrance needs work. We give you a firm quote after we see the panel – no guesswork.

Panel replacement or service upgrade: which one do you need?
These two get used interchangeably and they are not the same job, which is a large part of why quotes vary so widely.
- Panel replacement is the panel itself: new enclosure, new breakers, existing service entrance left as it is. Starts at $1,500.
- A service upgrade includes the service entrance and brings the system up to current code. Replacing a failing 100-amp service with a new code-compliant 100-amp service starts at $3,000. Going from 100-amp to 200-amp starts at $4,500, because it means a new meter pan, new service entrance cable, and PSE&G coordination.
In Elizabeth we do far more of the second than the first. Much of the housing stock still runs 100-amp service installed decades before central air, EV charging, and modern kitchens.
What moves the price
Three things. The service entrance: if the cable from the street or the meter pan is undersized or deteriorated, it gets replaced along with the panel. Code corrections: older homes often need grounding, bonding, or a handful of circuit repairs to pass inspection. And access: a panel in a finished basement or a tight multi-family utility room takes longer than one on an open wall.
Every panel job includes permits, PSE&G coordination, inspection, and a surge protector on the new panel. See our full published pricing or the main panel upgrade and replacement page.
