Electrical Panel Upgrades for EV Chargers in Fort Wayne

Many Fort Wayne homes, especially in older neighborhoods like Wells Street corridor, Bloomingdale, Lakewood Park, Pine Valley, have 100-amp electrical service that cannot safely support a Level 2 EV charger. A panel upgrade resolves this, and the combined project can often be completed in one or two visits.
