Electrical Panel Upgrades in The Woodlands, TX

Most panel calls out here are not about something being broken. They are about a house that has had a lot added to it over the years and a panel that has not changed since the day it was energized.

The load crept up

Pool and spa equipment. A second or third AC system. A generator. Landscape and architectural lighting, which The Woodlands has more of than anywhere else we work. Now a charger, and maybe a battery.

Each one was reasonable on its own. Together they are a service that is carrying more than it was designed for, and a panel with no spaces left.

We run the load calculation, tell you what your service actually carries, and lay out what upgrading it involves before you commit to anything else.

Montgomery County, and the review nobody warns you about

The Woodlands is a township rather than an incorporated city, so permits go through Montgomery County. That part is routine for us.

The part people get caught by is the covenants. Anything that changes the outside of the house — a relocated meter, an exterior sub-panel, a generator pad, a charger on a visible wall — can need architectural review as well as a permit. We plan the work with that in mind and we will tell you up front if what you are asking for is going to need it, rather than finding out after the equipment is on the wall.

The CenterPoint window

When the meter has to come off, CenterPoint sets the schedule, not us. We coordinate the disconnect and reconnect and we tell you which day the power is out and roughly for how long. Nobody enjoys that day. It goes better when it is planned.

Adding a charger or a battery?

Do the calculation first. It is the cheapest step in the job.
