What is an electrical panel upgrade and why is it necessary?

This upgrade is necessary to handle the increased power demands of modern appliances and electronics, improve electrical system safety, and comply with current building codes and regulations.

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

Signs that your electrical panel may need an upgrade include frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering lights, using multiple extension cords, the presence of fuses instead of circuit breakers, and having an outdated panel such as those from Federal Pacific or Zinsco. Additionally, if your home is over 20 years old and has never had an electrical upgrade, it might be time to consider one.

However, the exact timeframe can vary depending on factors such as the age of your home, the condition of the existing electrical system, and the complexity of the upgrade. Our licensed electricians will provide a more accurate estimate during the initial assessment.

I called HEP on Monday to request assistance with our breaker panel. Our main breaker went bad and we only had power in half of the house, no a/c. They were booked up for Monday but got to me first thing this morning, Tuesday, and had the main replaced in no time at all. Kudos go to the service man, Jack Loy for the quality of his work. Thank you HEP for the response time and getting us in the cool once again. As it says on the truck, Happy Wife, Happy Life.

David Nicholson did an amazing job with the panel upgrade at our home. He spent hours here doing the job efficiently. We can now rest easier in our home knowing that there is no longer the fire hazard due to have out of date electrical panel. Thanks for such hard work. Also, want to give thanks for Jesse spending hours here walking me through the process and managing his staff and assigning the correct worker to jobs. Jesse is a hard worker and great electrician. Thank you both for the hard worker. Both employees are assets to the company.

Josh was our electrician. He was helpful and educated us on what upgrades we needed. Also Ed was our plumber who gave us detailed info on what needed to be replaced. Both technicians were great!!!
