FAQs

What is an electrical panel upgrade and why do I need one?

An electrical panel upgrade involves replacing or enhancing your current electrical service panel to better distribute power throughout your home. This upgrade is particularly important if you have an older panel that may not support modern appliances or increasing energy loads. Improved safety, efficiency, and the ability to power additional devices are some of the key benefits of this upgrade.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs an upgrade?

Common signs that your panel needs an upgrade include frequent tripping of breakers, flickering or dimming lights, burning smells, or the use of extension cords for high-powered appliances. Additionally, if your home was built many years ago or if you have recently added new electrical equipment or renovated your home, it is wise to have a professional assess your panel’s capacity and condition.

What is the process for upgrading my electric panel in Calhoun?

The upgrade process typically begins with an evaluation by a licensed electrician who will assess your current system. They will determine your power needs and design a solution that complies with local codes. Once the plan and necessary permits are in place, the electrician will replace or update the panel, ensuring proper wiring, grounding, and circuit labeling. Finally, a post-installation inspection is usually performed to confirm the upgrade was done safely and correctly.

Are permits required for an electrical panel upgrade?

Yes, permits are generally required for an electrical panel upgrade to ensure that all work complies with local, state, and national electrical codes. Permits help guarantee that the installation is performed safely and properly documented for future property transactions or inspections. A licensed electrician in Calhoun will typically handle obtaining the necessary permits as part of the service.

What benefits can I expect from upgrading my electrical panel?

Upgrading your electrical panel enhances your home’s safety by reducing the risk of electrical fires and overloads. It also provides increased power capacity to meet modern energy demands, improves efficiency, and can even increase your home’s overall property value. Modern panels often include advanced safety features and the flexibility to add circuits for future needs.

How long does the upgrade process typically take?

The duration of an electrical panel upgrade can vary based on the complexity of the installation and the existing wiring infrastructure. Generally, the process takes anywhere from a few hours to a full day. A licensed electrician will provide an estimate based on your specific situation after performing an initial assessment.

I called HEP on Monday to request assistance with our breaker panel. Our main breaker went bad and we only had power in half of the house, no a/c. They were booked up for Monday but got to me first thing this morning, Tuesday, and had the main replaced in no time at all. Kudos go to the service man, Jack Loy for the quality of his work. Thank you HEP for the response time and getting us in the cool once again. As it says on the truck, Happy Wife, Happy Life.

David Nicholson did an amazing job with the panel upgrade at our home. He spent hours here doing the job efficiently. We can now rest easier in our home knowing that there is no longer the fire hazard due to have out of date electrical panel. Thanks for such hard work. Also, want to give thanks for Jesse spending hours here walking me through the process and managing his staff and assigning the correct worker to jobs. Jesse is a hard worker and great electrician. Thank you both for the hard worker. Both employees are assets to the company.
