FAQs
When should I consider upgrading my electric panel during a home renovation?
It’s typically a good idea to upgrade your electric panel when renovating an older home or adding new appliances. Common signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or a panel that’s more than 20 years old. An upgraded panel ensures a safer electrical system that can handle modern power demands.
How do I know what size electric panel I need for my renovation?
The size depends on your home’s power usage and future expansion plans. A licensed electrician considers the total load, including major appliances and HVAC. In Fountain City, local codes and regulations also influence the panel requirements and must be met for a compliant upgrade.
Will upgrading my electrical panel require a permit in Fountain City?
Yes. Any major electrical work, such as upgrading or replacing an electric panel, typically requires a permit. Your electrician will handle the permit process, ensuring the completed work meets Fountain City’s safety and code requirements.
How long does it take to complete an electric panel upgrade?
Most electric panel upgrades can be done in one day, assuming there are no unexpected wiring issues. However, if your home’s wiring or circuits need extensive repairs or if additional components are required, the process could take longer. Your electrician will provide an estimate before starting the job.
What should I expect during the installation process?
Your electrician will first turn off the power to ensure safety, then remove the old panel and install the new one. They’ll connect all existing circuits, test the system, and restore power once everything is verified. After installation, a city inspection may be required to confirm code compliance.
How can an upgraded panel improve my home’s resale value?
A modern electric panel is a selling point because buyers value a reliable, up-to-date electrical system. It shows that the home can supply adequate power for today’s appliances and electronics. Plus, it boosts safety, reduces the likelihood of electrical issues, and may lower insurance premiums.
