Default upgrade 100amp -> 200amp service?

After I call the electrician, what will s/he actually do to upgrade
the service in my house to 200A ? Other than change the master
breaker, does anything else happen with the panel, or anything go on
between the house and the pole? Among other things I'm tired of lights
briefly dimming when the furnace or the clothes washer or the
dishwasher or my wife makes demands (oops, did I say that out loud?).
Thanks.

This is Turtle.

I will say this first. Dimming lights does not always mean too small of
electric service / Panel. It can be but alone with 50 other reason not
related to the service size. Have the power company come out to check your
voltage to your home and have them tell you as to what is too small or not.

A example of this is when you think you have something wrong with you don't
go to a General Practicianer to get a ideal of what is wrong and you start
to specialist to have Medical operation on you till you get the right
operation to fix you. Find out what the problem is before you start cutting
on you.
