Most homes in the Martinsburg and Berkeley County area built before 2000 have 100-amp service, which was sufficient for older appliances but is often too small for modern homes with EV chargers, heat pumps, and multiple circuits. The standard upgrade is to 200-amp service, which handles today's electrical loads comfortably. If your home is larger (3,000+ sq ft) or you're planning a significant addition, 400-amp service may be appropriate.
