FAQs

What are the signs that my electrical panel needs an upgrade?

Common signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, the presence of outdated fuses instead of modern circuit breakers, and a panel that appears old and worn out. If you experience these issues or plan major electrical renovations, it's a good idea to consider an upgrade.

Why is upgrading my electrical panel important in Charleston?

Upgrading your electrical panel ensures that your home meets modern safety standards and can handle increased electrical demands. In Charleston, older panels may not support newer appliances and technology safely, putting your property at risk for overloads or electrical fires. An upgrade improves safety, efficiency, and even property value.

How do I know which panel upgrade is right for my home?

A qualified electrician in Charleston can assess your current electrical needs and future load requirements. They will review how your home is used, any plans for home additions, high-energy devices, or renovations, and then recommend a panel that meets current codes and your individual needs.

What should I expect during an electrical panel upgrade?

During an upgrade, a licensed electrician will first shut off your power, remove the old panel, and install a new, more robust panel system. They will ensure the wiring meets local codes, label circuits correctly, and test the new setup. The process typically takes a few hours to a day, depending on the complexity of the installation.

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Charleston?

Costs vary based on factors such as the size of the panel, the amount of required rewiring, and any additional upgrades needed to meet local code requirements. While standard panel upgrades may range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, it's essential to request a detailed estimate from a trusted Charleston electrician to get an accurate cost for your specific situation.

Are there warranties or ongoing support available after an upgrade?

Yes, reputable electrical service providers in Charleston typically offer warranties on parts and labor following an upgrade. Additionally, many companies provide ongoing maintenance services to ensure your electrical system continues to operate safely and efficiently. It's a good idea to discuss warranty details and any follow-up maintenance plans during your initial consultation.

Josh Butler did a great job and explained about our breakers and how to avoid issues in the future.

Reed A.

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.
