  • Electricity enters your home through a power meter and flows into the electrical panel. This panel, often located in the garage, basement, utility room, or closet, distributes power from the main line to various branch lines via switches or circuit breakers. Our knowledgeable team can explain the upgrade process and address any questions you may have about breaker box upgrades or electrical box upgrades. We're here to assist you with all inquiries regarding upgrading your electrical service panel.

  • For the safety of your electrical system, avoid using older electrical panel brands and types known for safety issues. Brands like Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels, Zinsco panels, Pushmatic panels, and fuse boxes should be replaced. FPE panels, used between 1950 and 1980, have defects that can lead to fires or shocks. Zinsco panels, discontinued in the 1970s, pose risks if still in use. Pushmatic panels have weak breaker switches and no main breaker switches, while fuse boxes can't handle modern home's amperage needs. Replace these unsafe panels with newer, reliable options.

  • The cost of upgrading your electrical panel depends on various factors such as project scope, site conditions, and existing wiring or conduits. Our experienced team can assess your specific needs and provide a personalized quote for services like circuit breaker replacement, installation, and upgrades, rewiring the electrical panel, bus bar replacement, and relocating panels to avoid moisture issues.

Recognizing When an Electrical Panel Upgrade is Needed

It's crucial to identify when your electrical panel needs an upgrade. Overloaded circuits can cause flickering lights or require you to turn off one appliance to use another. Faulty or outdated panels can lead to breakers tripping or failing, posing serious risks like electrical shocks, fires, smoke, or melted wiring. Look for these signs indicating the need for an electrical service panel upgrade:

  • Rust or corrosion on circuit breakers
  • Crackling sounds from the electrical panel
  • Lack of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection for outlets near water
  • Frequent use of extension cords
  • Appliances not operating at full power
  • Homes with 60-amp electrical service
  • Homes with 100-amp electrical service struggling with power needs
  • Older homes with split-bus panels without a main breaker or fuse block panels

  • Upgrading your home's electrical panel enhances safety and convenience. An electrical panel upgrade can improve your home's safety, comfort, and functionality. With modern households' increasing electrical demands, outdated panels can easily become overloaded, creating potential fire hazards. Benefits of upgrading your panel include:

    Enhanced Safety
