For those customers that need a 200 amp service upgrade in Maryland, we would like to go over the simple process of bringing your job to a successful completion. Cross Electric will start the project by removing you electrical meter so that we can safely remove your old electric panel and all existing wiring in that panel. Your new panel is then installed and the wiring of your new panel can begin. One of the major components of your 200 amp service upgrade is the installation of a larger service entrance cable. This is the large gray wire that is usually seen on the outside of most houses. It runs from the meter to the top of the building (for overhead services only) and connects to the triplex wire from the local utility company’s pole. The new service entrance cable is installed and the existing wires for your circuits are wired into the new panel.

Grounding for 200 amp service upgrades in Maryland always has to updated for the larger service. Depending on the county you reside in, you will need one or two ground rods driven 8 ft into the ground. You will also need a larger wire run to the location where your water service enters your home ( If the water piping in your home is 100% PVC, then this wire is not requierd). After Cross Electric completes this work, the job is inspected by the local electrical inspector, who then notifies the local utility company that the job has been properly completed. The local utility company will then schedule to come to the job and make all final terminations to complete the job.

You should expect to be out of power for no longer than four hours on the day of installation, and about thirty minutes on the day the local utility company completes their work. Cross Electric handles all paperwork and scheduling with local inspectors and utilities, to make all 200 amp service upgrades in Maryland a stress free process for all of our customers.
