About this service
Electrical current is measured in amperes, commonly referred to as amps. This unit tells you how much electricity is moving through your home’s wiring at any given time. If you are planning to add high-power appliances like a new dryer or an electric vehicle charger, you need to understand your current capacity. A technician can evaluate your panel to ensure your system can handle the load without tripping breakers.
