Electrical Panel Upgrades
Electrical panel upgrading refers to a replacement of the electric panel – the heart of your home for all things electrical. It is usually located in the garage, basement, or a utility room. When you open the door to your electrical panel, you’ll see rows of circuit breakers that control or cut-off electricity to certain circuits in the home.
As technology progresses and the electrical demands of homes increase, there is an increased need for electrical panel upgrades for homeowners. Some signs of needing an electrical panel upgrade are:
Your panel and home are older than 25 years old- most homes now need a 200-amp panel
You experience frequently tripped breakers
You need/want to install more outlets such as EV chargers, new appliances, or more outlets
You hear strange noises coming from the panel
You smell burning material or see smoke- if you see smoke evacuate your home and call 911
You notice lights flickering when you turn on certain devices
Your home has a recalled panel installed- Zinsco, Federal Pacific, I-T-E Pushmatic, or GTE/Sylvania brand; these panels should be upgraded as soon as possible
Electrical Service Upgrades
Service upgrading refers to a replacement of the electrical panel as well as upgrading from 100 amp service to 200 amp service (or more). It involves the complete replacement of the electrical service around the house. This includes the service cable coming into the house, the weather head, the meter socket, the grounding and bonding system, and the electrical panel itself.
This type of upgrade is usually necessary in older homes with 100 amp service, especially as homes demand more and more energy to power modern devices and appliances.
