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 — a 1970s home off Charleston Boulevard needs a very different scope of work than a 2020s build in the northwest. 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. Because we're already on the road daily between Henderson and Las Vegas job sites, we typically offer same-week scheduling rather than the multi-week backlog common with Strip-based electrical contractors.
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?
Pricing depends on your panel and garage layout, but most Las Vegas jobs fall into three tiers: a straightforward 48-amp Level 2 install with available panel capacity runs $500-$1,200; adding a NEMA 14-50 outlet instead of hardwiring runs $600-$1,400; and jobs that need a 100-amp-to-200-amp panel upgrade first (common in pre-1990s single-story homes near the urban core) run $1,800-$3,500 including the charger install. We provide a free on-site estimate before any work begins so you know which tier applies to your home.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Las Vegas?
Yes, and which office issues it depends on your exact address. Homes inside Las Vegas city limits pull permits through the City of Las Vegas Department of Building & Safety; unincorporated Clark County addresses (including many northwest and Spring Valley neighborhoods with a 'Las Vegas' mailing address) go through the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention instead. Mixing these up is one of the most common DIY and unlicensed-contractor mistakes we see — we confirm the correct jurisdiction from your address before filing, then handle the full permit process, inspection scheduling, and final sign-off.
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.
My Las Vegas home has a 100-amp panel — can it still handle a Tesla Wall Connector?
Sometimes, but it depends on your existing load. The Tesla Wall Connector can pull up to 48 amps continuous, which is a large share of a 100-amp panel's total capacity once you count HVAC, water heater, and kitchen circuits. We run a load calculation during the free site visit — many 100-amp Las Vegas homes qualify for a 40-amp derated circuit that still delivers strong overnight charging without a panel upgrade, while higher-load homes need the upgrade first. Either way, we quote both options so you can decide.
How fast can you get to a Las Vegas job compared to a Strip-area electrician?
Most Las Vegas Level 2 and Tesla Wall Connector jobs are scheduled within the same week of your free estimate, and often within 3-5 business days of permit approval. Because our crews run routes across both Henderson and Las Vegas daily, we're not bottlenecked the way single-city electrical shops can be during peak summer demand.
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.
