Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
If your electrical panel is outdated, old, or malfunctioning, it’s time to schedule an upgrade. Otherwise, there’s a high risk of power surges and outages. Appliances may be damaged and have to be replaced. If the panel is overloaded, corroded, or overheated, it can start an electrical fire. Therefore, call an electrician for an electrical panel upgrade if:
- Breakers frequently trip
- Lights flicker or dim
- The breaker box buzzes, pops, or crackles
- The panel feels warm or hot
- The panel has a burning smell
- A breaker is burnt or scorched
- You need more outlets
- You’re adding appliances
- You’re remodeling your home
The Electrical Panel Upgrade Process
At Express Electrical Services, every electrical panel installation starts with a consultation. You’ll have a chance to explain any issues you’re having, and our team will fully evaluate your home or business to determine the type of panel required. We handle the entire process from planning to permit acquisition, to electrical panel replacement.
Our technicians will also perform a full inspection to assess your electrical system, determine if other repairs or upgrades are needed, and ensure your new panel is installed properly. A new 200-amp panel will support the power demands of a new air conditioner, refrigerator, hot tub, and other modern appliances.
Our skilled electricians work quickly and safely to update your electrical panel. But you can help simplify the process by clearing the room or area around the panel. Budgeting for the project and planning for downtime also help. You won’t be able to use any electrical devices while our technicians are working (and maybe not until then if your current panel is unsafe to use).
Benefits of Upgrading to a New Electrical Panel
An electrical panel upgrade can benefit you in many ways. Our electricians will install a panel sized according to the number of circuits, appliances, and outlets in your home. Therefore, you can see all the advantages of electrical panel replacement, including:
- Increased Safety: An updated panel will prevent overloaded circuits and potential shocks and fires, making the environment safer for your family and building occupants.
- Increased Capacity: Air conditioners, televisions, computers, phone chargers, and other electrical devices will have enough power, even during peak usage.
- Energy Efficiency: Newer electrical panels conserve power and comply with the latest electrical codes. Our team can install new wiring and surge protection as needed.
- Decreased Maintenance Costs: Besides energy savings, an updated electrical panel can avoid the cost of dealing with emergency repairs and service calls.
- Support for Smart Home Technology: Increased capacity means you can install an electric vehicle charger or smart home security, lighting, climate control, and other systems.
