Electrical Service Upgrades FAQs
How do I know if my home currently has a 100-amp or 200-amp electrical panel?
You can usually check the main breaker switch located at the top or bottom of your electrical panel interior; it will be clearly stamped with a number like 100, 125, 150, or 200 representing your total amperage rating.
What is a GenerLink transfer switch and how does it help during power outages?
GenerLink is a collar device installed directly behind your electric meter that allows you to safely connect a portable generator to your main breaker panel without running hazardous extension cords inside your home.
How long will my power be turned off during a main panel upgrade?
Utility power is typically shut off for four to eight hours on the day of installation while our team swaps the panel hardware and coordinates inspection before utility power is restored.
Do you handle coordination with NorthWestern Energy or local power utilities?
Yes, NXT LVL Electrical Solutions coordinates all disconnect and reconnect scheduling directly with local power utilities and manages required municipal building permits.
Will upgrading my electrical panel increase my home's property value?
Yes, modernizing an outdated breaker panel to a 200-amp system increases property value, satisfies home buyer inspection requirements, and lowers potential property insurance premiums by removing safety hazards.
