FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my electrical panel?
Upgrading your electrical panel enhances the safety and efficiency of your home's electrical system.

An upgrade ensures that your home meets current electrical codes and can safely manage your electrical needs.
How do I know if my electrical panel needs an upgrade?
Signs that you might need an upgrade include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, buzzing sounds from the panel, burning smells, or an overall lack of sufficient power for new appliances. If your panel is more than 20-30 years old, it's wise to have it inspected by a professional.
What are the benefits of upgrading my electrical panel?
Benefits include increased electrical capacity, improved safety, enhanced home value, compliance with current codes, and the ability to add new appliances or circuits without overloading your system. Upgraded panels are also less prone to malfunctions and can provide peace of mind.
How long does an electrical panel upgrade take, and will my power be out during the process?
An electrical panel upgrade typically takes 4-8 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the job. During this time, the power to your home will need to be turned off to ensure safety. We strive to complete the work efficiently to minimize disruption.

Upgrading an electrical panel is a complex task that should only be performed by licensed and experienced electricians. Attempting to do it yourself can be dangerous, leading to serious injury or electrical hazards. Professional installation ensures the upgrade is done safely and up to code.
