Electrical Panel Upgrade in Boulder City, Henderson NV
Many Henderson homes built before 2000 have 100-amp or 125-amp electrical panels that can't safely support a Level 2 EV charger. Our licensed electricians upgrade your panel to 200 amps, giving you the capacity you need for EV charging and future electrical demands. We serve homeowners throughout Boulder City, NV, handling the full City of Henderson permit process and delivering a clean, code-compliant install backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Why Boulder City homeowners choose us for electrical panel upgrade
Boulder City is a historic Nevada town 26 miles southeast of Las Vegas, built originally to house Hoover Dam workers. Today it's known for its small-town charm, controlled growth, and environmentally conscious residents — many of whom are early EV adopters given the town's proximity to solar farms and clean energy infrastructure. Homes range from 1930s bungalows to modern custom builds. We provide the same licensed City of Boulder City permitted EV charger installation service as in Henderson.
About Electrical Panel Upgrade
An electrical panel upgrade replaces your home's main breaker panel with a higher-capacity unit, typically from 100 or 125 amps to 200 amps. This provides enough electrical capacity to run your existing appliances, HVAC, and a Level 2 EV charger (which draws 40-50 amps) without overloading your system. The upgrade includes a new panel box, main breaker, branch circuit breakers, and often a new meter base.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Boulder City?

Can I install an EV charger in a historic Boulder City home?
Yes. For pre-1950 historic homes, we use conduit routing that respects the original architecture — running along interior walls, through the crawl space, or in matching exterior conduit. Historic preservation guidelines in Boulder City are manageable, and we coordinate any required architectural review.

Yes. The City of Boulder City requires an electrical permit for every Level 2 EV charger install. We handle permit application and inspection — same process as in Henderson, different municipal office. Permit turnaround is typically 2 to 5 business days.
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
If your panel is 100 amps or less, or if you have fewer than 4 open breaker spaces, you likely need an upgrade for a Level 2 EV charger. We determine this during the free assessment.
Will my power be off all day?
Yes, for most of the day (6-8 hours). We coordinate the outage with NV Energy and schedule it on a day that works for you.
Can I get the panel upgrade and EV charger installed at the same time?
Absolutely. We frequently bundle both projects into a single-day installation, which saves you money on labor and gets everything done in one visit.
