FAQs
What does an electric panel upgrade involve?
An electric panel upgrade involves replacing your old electrical service panel with a new, modern system that can handle increased power demands and provide improved safety. The process includes an initial inspection of your current panel, removal of outdated components, installation of a new panel with updated circuit breakers, and testing to ensure everything is up to code. This upgrade not only boosts your home’s capacity but also helps prevent potential electrical hazards.
What signs indicate that I need an electric panel upgrade?
Common indicators that you might need an upgrade include frequently tripping circuit breakers, flickering or dimming lights, outdated panels with no clear labeling, overheating panels, and an increasing number of electrical devices in your home.
