Electrical Panel Upgrades in Westbrook, ME
Safe, code-compliant panel and service upgrades for Westbrook homes and businesses — from 100-amp to 200-amp service and beyond.
Electrical Panel Upgrades for Westbrook Homes & Businesses
If your Westbrook home still runs on a 100-amp panel, an old fuse box, or a recalled brand like Federal Pacific or Zinsco, Goodnow Electric can upgrade it to a modern 200-amp service that safely powers today's appliances, EV chargers, heat pumps, and additions. We serve homeowners and businesses across Cumberland County with clean, permitted panel work and an owner on-site for every job.
Right here in Westbrook — our shop is on Wilson Drive — we replace the aging services in the early-1900s two- and three-family homes near Saccarappa Falls, where an original 60-amp fuse panel can't feed a heat pump and an EV charger at once. As Rock Row and the Larrabee Road corridor keep adding homes, we're also upgrading brand-new services to a full 200 amps so there's real headroom for the additions and shop circuits owners inevitably add later.
Across Saccarappa Falls, the Presumpscot River corridor, and Rock Row and the rest of Westbrook, we regularly replace undersized and aging panels that can no longer keep up with modern electrical loads. We pull the permit, coordinate the utility disconnect with CMP, and get your power back on the same day in most cases.

“After needing an emergency fix late on a cold winter's Sunday, Goodnow came to the rescue! With no power and dark approaching we called around and couldn't find any place that could help. When we gave Goodnow a call, Bret had one of his guys come over and help us out. David came over, checked things out, replaced some parts in our electrical box and we had light (and heat!!!) back again! So kind, helpful and a real life saver during emergencies!”

Getting to Know Westbrook
Westbrook grew up around the Presumpscot River, whose falls powered the S.D. Warren paper mill — for a stretch of the late 1800s the largest paper mill in the world, and the employer that shaped whole neighborhoods of worker housing that still line the streets today. The city is named for Colonel Thomas Westbrook, a colonial-era mast agent who harvested the king’s white pines along the river.
Today the old mill city is one of Southern Maine's fastest-changing communities, anchored by the Rock Row development rising out of a former quarry. Westbrook is also home base for Goodnow Electric — our shop is on Wilson Drive — so whether it's a mill-era two-family that needs a service upgrade or new construction off Larrabee Road, we're usually just minutes away.
