Avoid the risks of overloaded circuits with a professional electrical panel upgrade. As modern homes rely on more high-power appliances and devices, older panels can struggle to handle the increased load. Upgrading your electrical panel ensures safe power distribution, preventing frequent breaker trips, potential electrical fires, and damage to your equipment. Stay protected with a properly sized and updated panel system.
Modern appliances and devices place greater demand on your home’s electrical system. Upgrading your electrical panel ensures your home can support the increased load without overloading circuits or causing frequent power interruptions. A new panel installation improves energy efficiency, enhances safety, and allows for the seamless operation of high-power appliances like electric ovens, HVAC systems, and EV chargers.
Frequent tripped breakers indicate your electrical panel is struggling to meet your home’s power demands. A professional panel upgrade eliminates this issue by increasing your system’s capacity, ensuring a more balanced power distribution. This prevents overloads and enhances the safety of your electrical system. An upgraded panel supports modern appliances, reduces disruptions, and protects your home from electrical hazards.
Upgrading your electrical panel can resolve several common electrical issues in your home. Here are the problems that can be addressed with a professional electrical panel upgrade:
An outdated panel struggles to handle modern electrical loads, causing frequent trips that disrupt power.
Too many appliances on one circuit can lead to overheating, which increases the risk of electrical fires.
Older panels may not have the capacity to support additional high-power appliances or devices.
An overwhelmed panel may lead to inconsistent power distribution, causing lights to flicker or dim.
Fuse boxes are less efficient and more prone to failure compared to modern circuit breaker panels, making upgrades necessary for safety.
A limited number of breakers prevents adding more circuits, hindering future home upgrades like EV chargers or new appliances.

If you experience frequent tripped breakers, flickering lights, or notice that your panel is outdated (e.g., a fuse box or low amperage), these are strong indicators that your electrical panel may need an upgrade. Homes that add high-powered devices like EV chargers, or remodel with new appliances, also often require panel upgrades.
Most modern homes require electrical panels rated for 200 amps to handle the power demands of new appliances, HVAC systems, and modern electronics. Older homes with 100-amp panels often struggle to support additional circuits and larger electrical loads. We evaluate your home’s needs to recommend the appropriate amperage for your upgrade.
If your home has outdated wiring, like aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, or if the current wiring cannot handle the new panel’s capacity, it may also need to be upgraded. The electrician will assess your entire system to determine if wiring upgrades are necessary for safety and compatibility with the new panel.
The duration of an electrical panel upgrade typically takes 4 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the job. Factors such as accessibility, the size of the panel, and any necessary rewiring can influence the timeline. We provide a clear estimate based on the specific details of your home’s electrical system.
Yes, upgrading an electrical panel usually requires a permit to ensure the work complies with local building and safety codes. We handle the permit process and ensure all work is inspected for safety and compliance with current electrical regulations.
If your current panel has available space and sufficient capacity, you can add circuits without upgrading the panel. However, if the panel is full or near its maximum load capacity, an upgrade may be necessary to safely accommodate additional circuits for new appliances or devices.
Upgrade your home’s electrical panel to support modern appliances and ensure safe, reliable power. Our expert electricians are ready to assess your needs and provide professional installation.
