Upgrading your electrical panel with a new model that has a higher capacity is beneficial. Your electrical panel functions as a central hub that distributes power throughout your home. If you have an older panel that’s between 60 and 100 amps, it’s likely you lack power for your modern needs. This can lead to inefficient and unsafe use of things like appliances, your HVAC system, electric vehicles, computers, smart technology, and other devices. An upgrade will increase power to 150 to 200 amps in most cases.
The process of an upgrade involves several steps. We may need to replace breakers, update your grounding system, and replace aging wires that show signs of damage. Your current panel or electrical setup may be out of code if it’s old. We can help bring your home back up to code. In some cases, there may be a need to work with your local electricity provider if an increase in capacity is necessary for the upgrade.
Consider the many reasons to upgrade your electrical panel.
Better capacity
Increase in safety
Efficiency boost
Better home value
There are signs to watch out for that can indicate it’s time to plan for an electrical panel upgrade. This includes frequent breaker trips, which can indicate your circuits are experiencing overloading. Your panel is having difficulty distributing power in a safe manner. Also, flickering or dimming lights can be a sign of an insufficient power supply.
Adding square footage to your home or performing renovations can change your electrical demand. If you’re adding more circuits, you may not have space in your current panel. Also, an out-of-date panel may pose a risk of electrocution or fire. New panels have better safety standards.
We begin the process with an assessment of your current panel and electrical system. We’ll talk to you about your electrical demand, energy bills, and other important factors. A load calculation will help us determine what size panel you need. During installation, we turn off the power, remove the old panel, and put the new one in its place. In most cases, the replacement can be complete in one day.
