Residential Panel Change-Out
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s power system, and if it’s outdated or malfunctioning, it can lead to serious safety issues.
Is it time to change your Panel?
Here are some signs that it might be time for an upgrade:
Frequent Tripped Breakers: If your breakers trip often or your panel feels hot, it’s a sign that your panel is struggling to handle your electrical load.
Old or Outdated Panel: If your panel is older than 25-30 years, it’s likely due for an upgrade, especially if your home still uses fuses or an older model panel.
Lights Flickering or Dimming: Flickering lights, especially when using multiple appliances, could mean your panel can’t handle your home’s electricity demand.
Burning Smell or Scorch Marks: Call an electrician immediately if you notice a burning smell or see scorch marks around your panel or outlets. This is a severe safety hazard.
Adding New Appliances:
If you’re installing new significant appliances (like an EV charger, hot tub, or HVAC system), your panel may need an upgrade to support the additional power load.
