Signs your electrical panel needs an upgrade
An old or undersized panel can struggle with a modern home. Worse, it can be a safety risk. Here are the signs it is time for an upgrade.
Watch for these
Breakers that trip often. A fuse box instead of breakers. Flickering lights when big appliances start. A warm or buzzing panel. Not enough room to add a circuit.
Why it matters
Homes use far more power than they used to. An old panel can run hot and unsafe. A new panel adds capacity and safety, and it is needed for things like a generator or an EV charger.
Done right and to code
We upgrade panels and service, label everything clearly and test it. Every job is done to code so your home is safe and ready for what you plug into it.
