Without an electrical panel, you might as well not have electricity at all. It’s the backbone of your entire electrical system, giving the right amount of power to all areas of your home or business. Perhaps more importantly, it acts as a safeguard against overloads that could lead to electrical fires and other dangers. If there’s a surge, your panel cuts the power. At Holtzople, we offer electrical panel upgrades and installations that will provide proper electricity distribution and comply with codes.
Whether you’re experiencing frequent issues with your residential electrical panel or it’s simply time for an upgrade, our electricians will provide reliable solutions.
Electrical Panel Upgrade
Technology is always advancing. As a result our devices and appliances are, as well. With this change comes plenty of potential for updated power requirements. If your residential electrical panel is showing its age, it’s time for an upgrade to something that can meet modern demands.
Signs It’s Time for an Upgrade
- Frequent Breaker Trips: Constant trips could indicate an overloaded panel that needs to be retired.
- Flickering or Dimming Lights: When appliances draw too much power from an insufficient panel, flickering or dimming lights can be the result.
- Use of Multiple Power Strips: If your home or business relies on power strips everywhere you look, a panel and system upgrade is the solution.
- Aging or Outdated Panel: A panel that’s 2 to 3 decades old likely doesn’t meet current safety codes.
- Burning Smells or Scorch Marks: Signs of overheating point to a serious safety risk that should be addressed right away.
Benefits of Upgrading Your Electrical Panel
- Increased Safety: Overloaded circuits can cause electrical fires, so an upgrade to your panel is an upgrade to your safety.
- Improved Energy Efficiency: A current model means consistent power flow without a high risk of overloads.
- Support for Additional Appliances: An electrical panel upgrade allows you to install new appliances, make home additions, and add high-energy equipment like EV chargers and new HVAC systems.
- Higher Home Value: Home buyers want every part of their future house to be safe and functional. The newer, the better!
- Code Compliance: An outdated residential electrical panel likely doesn’t meet current safety standards. This can have a negative effect on home insurance policies and inspections.
