200A Service FAQ

+Do I need 200A service for an EV charger in San Jose, California?

Not always — a NEC 220 load calculation decides. But if you're on 100A in San Jose, California and adding a Level 2 charger plus heat pump or induction range, 200A is usually the right move.

+How much does a 200 amp service upgrade cost in San Jose, California?

Standard 100A → 200A service upgrades in San Jose, California run $2,500–$4,500. Add $1,000–$3,000 if the meter base, mast, or service drop also needs replacement.

+Do I need a permit for panel work in San Jose, California?

Yes — service changes, meter swaps, and main breaker upgrades require a permit in virtually every San Jose, California jurisdiction. Your licensed electrician pulls the permit and coordinates with the AHJ and utility.

+Will the utility need to cut power for my upgrade in San Jose, California?

Yes. Your contractor schedules a meter-pull / cut-in with the local San Jose, California utility. Most upgrades land same-day power restoration; large 400A or underground services may take longer.
