The most commonly requested service upgrade for a single home is from 60 amps to 100 amps. This typically involves the removal of your old fuse system, fuse boxes and fuses and the installation of a new 100 or 200 amp circuit breaker system, complete with easy to use circuit breakers and outdoor meter. Relocating the existing electric meter outdoors is a CL&P requirement , and is part of the upgrade. We also upgrade the grounding system, including the installation of two driven ground rods and a new grounding system back to the main water meter. All upgrades require and include a town electrical permit and a wiring notice to CL&P. A typical service upgrade from 60 to 100 amps takes about 5 hours with 2 electricians. One working inside and the other working outside. All work is then inspected by the town electrical inspector and then with CL&P for final approval.
