Electrical Panel Upgrade in Las Vegas, 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 Las Vegas, NV, handling the full City of Henderson permit process and delivering a clean, code-compliant install backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Why Las Vegas homeowners choose us for electrical panel upgrade
Las Vegas is the anchor of the valley we serve, from the urban core near downtown to the suburban neighborhoods ringing the Spring Mountains. Housing stock ranges from mid-century single-story homes near the Strip to newer master-planned developments in the northwest, so panel capacity and garage layout vary block by block. Our licensed electricians install Level 2 home chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors, and commercial charging stations throughout Las Vegas, with the same code-compliant, fully permitted process we run in our home base of 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.

Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQs for Las Vegas
Do you install EV chargers in Las Vegas?
Yes. We install Level 2 home chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors, and commercial charging stations throughout the Las Vegas Valley, in addition to our core Henderson service area. Call (838) 205-8397 for a Las Vegas-specific estimate.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Las Vegas?
Most Las Vegas homes run $500 to $2,000 for a hardwired 48-amp Level 2 charger, depending on panel capacity and the distance from the panel to the garage. Older single-story homes with 100-amp panels sometimes need a panel upgrade, which adds to the cost. We provide a free on-site estimate before any work begins.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Las Vegas?
Yes. Depending on your exact address, permits go through the City of Las Vegas Department of Building & Safety or the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention. We handle the full permit process — application, inspection scheduling, and final sign-off — regardless of which jurisdiction applies.
Does my Las Vegas HOA allow EV charger installation?
Yes. Nevada law NRS 111.239 prohibits HOAs from banning EV charger installations outright. Your HOA may set reasonable aesthetic guidelines for conduit routing or panel placement, but it cannot block the installation. We coordinate HOA submittals regularly across Las Vegas communities.
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.
