These panels often lack the capacity for modern appliances or EV chargers. Upgrading to 200-amp panels is typical, improving safety and accommodating Plano’s growing electrical demands. Beachy Electric specializes in these upgrades, ensuring compliance with Collin County codes. See more about panel upgrades here.
