Professional Electrical Panel Repair And Upgrades in Chattanooga, TN

Upgrading Your Home's Overload Protection

Your electrical panel regulates the flow of electricity throughout your home, ensuring that high-demand circuits aren’t overloaded. When demand exceeds a circuit’s capacity, the panel trips the breaker to protect your system. During an amperage spike, unchecked overloads can lead to fires or electrocution. Routine maintenance and timely upgrades are essential for safety and performance. Mr. Electric of Chattanooga offers professional electrical panel upgrades that optimize your system’s protection and efficiency. Trust our licensed electricians in Chattanooga, TN, to keep your electrical panel in peak condition and safeguard your home. All our work is backed by the Neighborly Done Right Promise™, which ensures your satisfaction.

Contact your local Mr. Electric for residential electrical panel repair and upgrades today.

  • If you look inside your electrical panel, you will usually see a series of breakers and the main breaker at the top. The main breaker controls the power for your entire home. You can shut off power to all the breakers by flipping it. Each circuit breaker controls a particular area of your home, called a circuit. The circuits in your house should be labeled. You may need to compare the indented numbers on your electrical panel to the list of circuits to identify each.

    Your electrical panel takes in electricity from your utility company’s power line and safely transfers it to each area of your home. As the electricity flows through your electrical panel, the circuit breakers monitor the amperage of the electricity going through that circuit. If the flow of electricity exceeds the capacity of the breaker, the breaker will trip, cutting the power to that part of your home. This prevents the excess electricity from causing a fire or electrocution.

  • At Mr. Electric of Chattanooga, we prioritize your safety and budget. We explain all electrical panel upgrade costs up front—no surprises. Depending on your panel's condition, we can often make significant improvements in your home's electrical efficiency with minor repairs, new outlets, or breaker replacements. If a full replacement is needed, our electricians can help you choose and install the best panel for your home.

Signs Your Home Needs an Electrical System Upgrade

Old House Wiring: Rewiring a house is not a small task – it’s a big, complex project, but sometimes it is necessary. If your home has aluminum wiring from the 1960s or 70s, non-metallic wiring from the 1940s or 50s, or knob-and-tube wiring from before the 1930s, it is probably time to consider an electrical panel upgrade. These older systems were not designed to handle modern electrical demands and could pose safety risks for you and your family.

Missing GFCIs: GFCIs (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) feature “TEST” and “RESET” buttons to protect against electrical shocks in moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Without these affordable and easy-to-install devices, you could be putting yourself at risk for a shocking surprise.

Insufficient Electrical Capacity: Modern homes require 100 to 200 amps to power appliances and electronics simultaneously. If your electrical panel can’t support devices such as refrigerators, air conditioners, TVs, and computers, an upgrade is essential to ensure reliable, safe power distribution.

Knowing It’s Time to Upgrade Your Electrical Panel

You may have never thought about replacing or upgrading your electrical panel before. Electrical panels should not be used for any longer than 25 years. Some electrical panels that are younger than that can become defective. If you regularly take trips to reset tripped breakers, that’s the first sign that you need to consider upgrading your electrical panel. Some of the other signs that you might need electrical panel upgrades include:

  • Your electrical panel makes a crackling sound
  • There is corrosion or rust on your circuit breakers
  • Your electrical panel is warm
  • Your appliances aren’t running at full power
  • You don’t have GFCI outlets in your bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room
  • You use extension cords and power strips all the time
  • You have 60-amp breakers
  • You have 100-amp breakers, but they still trip frequently
  • You have a fuse block panel or a split-bus panel without a main breaker
