Top Reasons to Upgrade Your Electrical Panel
Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips – If your breakers trip often, it’s a sign that your panel is struggling to handle the electrical load.
Flickering or Dimming Lights – Lights that flicker when using appliances may indicate an overloaded panel.
Old or Outdated Panel – Homes with fuse boxes or older breaker panels (60-100 amp) may not meet modern safety standards.
Adding New Appliances – Installing a high-power appliance like an EV charger, HVAC system, or hot tub may require an upgraded panel.
Burning Smells or Hot Breakers – Overheating panels can pose a serious fire risk and should be replaced immediately.
Not Enough Outlets – If you rely on extension cords or power strips, your home’s electrical system may need an upgrade.
Home Renovations or Additions – Expanding your home or remodeling may require an upgraded panel to support increased electrical demand.
