Columbus Electrical Service Upgrade

Most Columbus homes built before the 1980s only have 100-amp electrical service, while today’s average 1,500-3,000 square foot homes are built with 200-amp service. At Weekley Electric, we help homeowners evaluate their electrical service needs and provide expert upgrades and replacements to ensure your home can safely power all your modern electrical demands.
