Across Chester County, copper wiring is the norm. Panels rated 100 to 150 amps were fine at first. Now a heat pump, a hot tub or an EV charger can push one past its limit. A panel upgrade is often the fix, sometimes paired with a dedicated circuit for the new load.
PECO Energy Company is the utility here. PPL Electric Utilities covers other pockets of Chester County. Either way, a service upgrade means a disconnect and reconnect, which we schedule.
Hurricane Ida's remnants brought flash flooding to Chester County in September 2021, hitting the Schuylkill and Brandywine watersheds hardest. If a panel near Devault ever took on water, it's worth having checked.
