    Signs that You Need an Electrical Panel Replacement or Upgrading

    There are a few signs that your home may need an electrical panel upgrade, including:

        • You have a lot of electrical devices, but your current panel is not big enough to handle them all.

        • Your home has been wired with outdated wiring that could be dangerous and inefficient.

        • Your home’s electrical system was installed before modern safety standards were put in place, so it might not be up to code or safe for use today.

        • You’ve had a fire caused by an electrical problem in your home, which could lead you to believe that upgrading the panel is necessary for safety reasons alone (even if there aren’t any other signs).

        • Your home is over 20 years old and has never had an upgrade

        • Your circuit breakers trip frequently or fuses blow often

        • Your lights flicker or dim, especially when using high-wattage appliances

        • You’re planning a major renovation or addition to your home and need to increase your electrical capacity

        • Your current panel is not up to code or has been damaged in some way

      If you’re experiencing any of these issues or are unsure about the age or condition of your electrical panel, it’s best to consult with our licensed electrician who can assess your system and recommend the appropriate upgrades or repairs.

      Electrical Panl Change FAQs

      The following are some of the most frequently asked questions about electrical panel upgrades.

      What is an electrical panel, and what does it do?

      An electrical panel, also known as a circuit breaker panel or fuse box, is the central hub of your home's electrical system. It distributes electricity throughout your home via circuits, and it also holds the circuit breakers or fuses that protect your home from electrical overload. The electrical panel is typically located in a utility room, basement, or garage, and it's important to keep it up-to-date and well-maintained to ensure that your home's electrical system operates safely and efficiently.

      Will an electrical panel upgrade make my home more energy efficient?

      While upgrading your electrical panel won't directly make your home more energy efficient, it can indirectly contribute to energy savings in a few ways.

      First, a new electrical panel can support more efficient and modern electrical devices, such as LED light bulbs, smart thermostats, and energy-saving appliances. These devices can help you save money on your energy bills over time.

      Second, upgrading your electrical panel can enable you to add additional circuits and outlets to your home, which can reduce the need for extension cords and power strips. This can not only improve the safety of your home's electrical system but also reduce energy waste and reduce the risk of electrical fires.

      Overall, while an electrical panel upgrade won't directly make your home more energy efficient, it can contribute to a safer, more reliable, and more adaptable electrical system that can support your energy-saving efforts.

      How long does it take to replace an electrical panel?

      The average time to replace an electrical panel is between 6 and 10 hours. However, the time can vary depending on factors such as the number of panels being replaced and whether any rewiring or relocation is necessary. If rewiring or relocation is involved, the process could take several days to complete. It is important to note that electrical panel replacement is not a DIY project, and it should only be completed by a licensed electrician.

      Do I need a permit to upgrade my electrical panel?
