FAQs
Why should I upgrade my home’s electric panel?
Upgrading your electric panel ensures your home’s electrical system can handle modern power demands. As appliances, HVAC units, and electronics become more advanced, they draw more electricity. An updated panel improves safety, reduces the risk of overloads, and can help prevent electrical hazards like fires.
How do I know if my current electrical panel needs to be replaced?
Common signs include frequent breaker trips, fuses that blow regularly, flickering lights, or a panel that feels warm to the touch. If you notice any burn marks or a burning smell, or if your panel is outdated (such as one with a low amperage rating or obsolete brand/model), it’s time to consider an upgrade.
What are the benefits of a higher amperage panel?
A higher amperage panel (such as upgrading from 100 amp to 200 amp service) provides more available capacity for new appliances or additions (like a new HVAC system, electric car charger, or workshop tools). It helps prevent overloading, offers greater stability, and makes your home’s electrical system more adaptable for future needs.
Does an electric panel upgrade require a permit in Halls?
Yes, most municipalities, including Halls, typically require a permit for any significant electrical work like panel upgrades. The permit process ensures that the work is inspected and meets local codes and regulations, helping to maintain safety standards. Our licensed electricians handle the permit process for you to ensure compliance.
How long does it take to complete an electric panel upgrade?
In most cases, a straightforward panel upgrade can be completed in one day. However, the exact timing depends on the complexity of your home’s wiring and any additional work needed, such as grounding or rewiring. Our team will evaluate your specific situation and provide an accurate timeline.
How much does an electric panel upgrade typically cost?
The cost varies depending on factors like the amperage rating, the complexity of required wiring changes, and any needed code compliance updates. Other components such as grounding or surge protection devices can affect pricing. We provide a free inspection and detailed quote to ensure you understand all costs upfront.
