Frequently Asked Questions

Signs It’s Time for a Electrical Panel Upgrade

PANEL AGE

If your panel is older than 20 years, it may be time to upgrade it as most panels start to show wear after some time. Older electrical panels were made for less electricity flow. It is likely that if your panel was made in the 70s or earlier, it may top out around 60 amps. The more items you have in your home that use electricity, the more amps you will need. Most houses today use 200 amp electrical panels which provide plenty of electricity to power the home.

WARM ELECTRIAL PANEL

Electricity generally conducts some heat, but if your panel is overly warm it may be a signal that the wiring is overloaded or loose. If you touch the panel and it feels hot or you can smell the heat coming from the panel, call us immediately. This could signal a bigger issue that may lead to an electrical fire.

DIMMING LIGHTS

The only time your lights should dim is when you manually dim them with your dimmer switch. Dimming lights is a sign that your electrical panel is struggling to keep up with your demands for electricity. If you are experiencing dim lights while only while using certain appliances, it may be time to upgrade your electrical panel.

TRIPPING BREAKERS

Your electrical panel should prevent short circuits and circuit overloads. If your wiring is loose or has become exposed, this could cause your circuit breaker to turn off more than usual. These could be signs of overload and can show that is it time for a panel upgrade.
