Electrical Service Upgrades in Fort Collins, Colorado

Fort Collins homeowners and businesses count on Three Crowns Electric for electrical service upgrades. We've been serving Larimer County since 2002 — our trucks are on Fort Collins streets every week, from Colorado State University and Old Town Fort Collins to the neighborhoods that need us most.

Electrical service upgrades from 100-amp (or older 60/125-amp) to 200-amp — the prerequisite for EV chargers, heat pumps, hot tubs, home additions, and multiple high-draw appliances on the same home. Service upgrades include the utility drop coordination, new meter socket, main breaker, riser, and grounding system.

We cover every Fort Collins neighborhood — Old Town, Midtown, Campus West, Harmony Corridor — and zip codes 80521, 80524, 80525, 80526, 80528. Whether you're in a 1970s ranch or a brand-new build, the scope is the same: diagnosis first, written quote second, work starts only when you say go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Service Upgrades in Fort Collins.

What's the difference between a service upgrade and a panel upgrade?

A panel upgrade replaces the breaker panel inside the house. A service upgrade includes the panel plus everything upstream — the meter socket on the outside wall, the main breaker, the service conductors, and the coordination with the utility to disconnect and reconnect the drop. A service upgrade is what you need if you're going from 100A to 200A total capacity.

How much does a 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrade cost?

Typical range is $2,000 to $5,000 depending on whether we're running new service entrance cable, whether the meter socket needs replacing, and whether the utility requires a new mast. We walk the house, do a load calculation, and give you a written quote before anything happens.

Do I need a 200-amp service for an EV charger?

Not always. A 100-amp service can often handle a 40A EV charger if your other loads are gas-heated. But if you have electric heat, electric water heater, or plans for a heat pump, the math usually doesn't work and the upgrade is the right call. We run the load calc and show you the number.

Who coordinates the disconnect with the utility?

We do. Xcel or your local co-op handles the physical disconnect and reconnect at the drop, but we file the paperwork, schedule the meter pull, and make sure the inspector is lined up. You sign a couple of things and that's it — no phone calls to Xcel on your end.
