Do I need a panel upgrade?
All homeowners and businessowners need to know what type of panel is currently installed on their property, and whether or not they need an upgrade. If you have an older panel, you most likely need an upgrade. But if you have a newer panel, then the upgrade will depend on your power needs.
You need to upgrade your panel if you’re experiencing any of the following problems:
- Breakers tripping frequently
- Burning smell near the panel
- Flickering and dimming lights
- Still using a fuse box
- Insufficient power supply
You also need to upgrade your panel if you’re planning on making any of the following changes:
- Installing new appliances like hot tubs or HVAC systems
- If you’re installing an EV charger
- Renovating or remodeling your house
- Expanding and making additions to your business
- Installing solar panels
No Compromise on Safety
Electrical panels are not only there to supply sufficient electricity to your appliances, but they are also your first line of defense against overloads, electrical shocks, and electrical fires. So, if you have any doubts about the capacity or capability of your electrical panel, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
If you have an older house with a lower capacity panel, or if your property is even older and is still using a fuse box, your insurance provider will also hesitate to cover your property.
What Size Electrical Panel Do I Need?
The size of the electrical panel you need depends on your power needs. You can discuss it with us over a phone call, or you can book an appointment with us if you want our technicians to visit for an inspection. We usually look at the number of air conditioners, hot tubs, commercial equipment, and other electrical appliances installed on your property to calculate your power requirements and make a suggestion accordingly.
Cost of Electrical Service Upgrade
The exact cost of a panel upgrade depends on the type and capacity of the new panel. But it costs roughly between $1000 to $3000 for most of the general upgrades, though it can go higher depending upon your specific requirements.
