FAQs

What is an electrical panel upgrade?

An electrical panel upgrade involves replacing your existing electrical panel with a new one to enhance the capacity and safety of your home's electrical system. This is typically done to accommodate additional circuits, handle higher electrical loads, or replace outdated and potentially unsafe panels.

Why would I need to upgrade my electrical panel?

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel if your current system is outdated, frequently trips circuit breakers, or can't meet the power demands of modern appliances and electronics. An upgraded panel can improve energy efficiency, increase safety, and enhance the overall reliability of your electrical system.

How can I tell if my electrical panel needs an upgrade?

Signs that your electrical panel may need an upgrade include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, overheating or burning smells, reliance on extension cords, or an inability to support new appliances. If your panel is over 25 years old, it’s wise to have a professional inspect it for potential issues.

Is it dangerous to upgrade the electrical panel myself?

Yes, upgrading an electrical panel is a complex and dangerous task that should only be handled by licensed electricians. Incorrectly installed electrical panels can lead to fire hazards, electrical shocks, and other safety issues. Professional electricians have the knowledge, tools, and experience to perform the upgrade safely and in compliance with local codes.

How long does it take to upgrade an electrical panel?

The duration for an electrical panel upgrade can vary depending on the complexity of the job and the condition of your existing electrical system. Typically, a straightforward panel upgrade may take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours. However, more complex situations may require additional time for repairs and new wiring installations.

What should I expect during an electrical panel upgrade?

During an electrical panel upgrade, the power to your home will be shut off to ensure safety. The electrician will remove the old panel, install the new one, and reconnect the existing circuits. They will also perform necessary safety checks and ensure everything is working correctly. After the installation, they will test the system and provide you with documentation related to the work performed.
