Renovation-Timed Upgrades
The best time to go to 200 amps is during a reno, while the walls are open. We coordinate with your GC so the panel is in before the drywall.

Electrical Panel Upgrades in Brooklyn
Brooklyn's brownstones, row houses and converted lofts are beautiful — and often wired with cloth-insulated, knob-and-tube or 100-amp service that can't keep up with a modern renovation. Precision Power upgrades Brooklyn panels to safe 200-amp service, with the DOB permit, Con Edison coordination and inspection handled.
Local Brooklyn Expertise
Panel Upgrades for Brooklyn's Brownstones & Row Houses
Brooklyn is a renovation borough. Park Slope, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights and Clinton Hill are wall-to-wall brownstones and row houses; Bay Ridge, Marine Park and Canarsie add one- and two-family homes. Most were wired before World War II — and behind those original walls you'll often find cloth-insulated or knob-and-tube wiring feeding a 100-amp panel.
That old service becomes the bottleneck the moment a gut renovation adds central AC, an induction kitchen, a finished basement and a Level 2 charger. We upgrade the panel and service, and when we find aging wiring during the work, we tell you up front rather than discovering it after the walls are closed.
We do brownstone and row-house electrical across Brooklyn every week, including in historic districts where the work has to be clean and discreet — so your upgrade fits the renovation timeline instead of derailing it.

"Mid-gut-reno on our Bed-Stuy brownstone, our GC flagged knob-and-tube and a maxed-out panel. Precision Power upgraded us to 200 amps, replaced the old wiring on that floor, and worked around the crew. Couldn't have been smoother."

Brooklyn Questions
Panel Upgrades in Brooklyn — FAQs
I'm renovating a Brooklyn brownstone — when should the panel be upgraded?
During the renovation, ideally. With the walls open you're adding load anyway, and pre-war brownstones often need old wiring updated. Doing it mid-reno is cleaner and cheaper than coming back later.
What is knob-and-tube wiring and do I need to remove it?
It's the ungrounded, cloth-insulated wiring used before the 1950s, common in pre-war Brooklyn. It's brittle, can't be safely buried in insulation, and many insurers won't cover it. We replace it with modern grounded circuits.
Do you do two-family Brooklyn homes with separate meters?
Yes — owner-plus-rental row houses are a frequent job. We upsize the main service and add separately metered sub-panels per unit, filed and inspected through the DOB.
Can you work in a Brooklyn historic district?
Yes. We keep service-entrance and meter work tidy and code-compliant, and route the upgrade so it respects the building — important on landmarked blocks in Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope and Fort Greene.
