Across Bucks County, 100-amp panels with no spare slots and aluminum branch wiring are common. Two-prong outlets and recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels turn up too. Around Line Lexington, the panel problem shows up when someone adds a workshop, a hot tub or a second fridge. Each of those wants a dedicated circuit, and a full panel has nowhere to put it. A panel upgrade to 200 amps solves it once.
PECO Energy Company runs the utility side, so a service upgrade includes a PECO meter visit that we book. The remnants of Hurricane Ida hit Bucks County in September 2021 with floods, outages and a tornado. So surge protection and standby generators come up here too.
