Reasons I Need to Upgrade or Replace My Circuits
Your circuit system often gives you signs that it needs an upgrade. If your circuit breaker is getting hot and tripping, it could be the first sign you need an upgrade. Other common signs you need to replace your existing system are old age, strange sounds, and damaged breakers. The most common reasons most people choose to upgrade or replace their existing circuit breaker system include the following:
- Overloaded Outlets – You may have overloaded outlets if your circuit breakers trip often, you use a large number of power strips, or you feel the need for more electrical support.
- Specialty Lighting – Many people need circuit upgrades to ensure proper connectivity to specialty lighting, including track lighting, recessed lighting, or accent lighting.
- Security Systems – A new security system requires a circuit breaker that connects to your electrical system.
- Additional Outdoor Electricity – We’ll ensure your circuit system meets the needs of new landscape lighting, a new sprinkler system, or a new swimming pool.
- Appliances – You may need a circuit breaker upgrade if you have new appliances, including when you add a freezer or second refrigerator to another room.
- Emergency Generator Installation – An emergency generator may need its own dedicated sub-panel to ensure you have backup power during a blackout.
- Home Entertainment Centers – Home entertainment systems require multiple things plugged in and running at one time.
- Home Office Equipment – Some homeowners need to upgrade to more power outlets to support their home office needs.
- Garage or Workshop – Our service professionals can install additional outlets to meet the needs of the electricity in your garage or workshop.
- Home Efficiency Upgrades – We will ensure your electrical system can handle the additional electricity that is needed for a solar water heater, solar panels, or an electric vehicle charging station.
