Professional Electrical Panel Upgrade Services in Houston, TX

Upgrading Electrical Panels to Keep Your Family Safe

You might not notice your home’s electrical panel very often, but this valuable equipment protects your home, family, and electronics. Mr. Electric of Northwest Houston performs professional electrical panel upgrades for homeowners in Houston, TX. Your electrical panel regulates the electricity in your home. If too much electricity is demanded of one of your circuits, your circuit breaker will trip in your electrical panel and stop the electricity from overloading your wiring. Residential electrical panel upgrades are important because they could prevent fires caused by electrical overloads. Upgrading electric panels can keep your family and home safe while keeping your valuable electronics from getting fried. If you have an older home or electrical panel, your system is likely having trouble keeping up with your increased electrical demands from televisions, HVAC systems, computers, and additional gadgets.

Knowing what to watch out for can save you money and hassle. The most common electrical panel problems stem from overloaded circuits. If you need to turn off one appliance before you are able to use another one in the same circuit, it’s time for an upgrade.

Schedule Service

Electrical Panels That Should Be Replaced Immediately

We strongly recommend scheduling an electrical panel inspection if your home is at least 25 years old because certain older panels have known safety issues due to poor design. If your electrical panel was installed after 1990, you shouldn’t have to worry about the following brands and types. Be sure to contact our electrical experts if your home has any of the following electrical panels:

  • Zinsco electrical panels – Taken off the market in the mid-1970s, Zinsco electrical panels should be replaced immediately because they are defective, allowing power to flow through them even when the breakers are switched off.
  • Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) electrical panels – Installed between 1950 and 1980, these electrical panels have defects and can cause electric shocks and fires.
  • Fuse boxes – As the oldest type of electrical panel, fuse boxes can only handle a fraction of the amperage used by today’s homes. Since you cannot purchase fuses for older boxes anymore, you will need to have a new electrical panel installed to keep you safe from the threats of fires and electrocution.
  • Pushmatic electrical panels – These electrical panels have weak breaker switches that become more challenging to reset as they age, and Pushmatics do not have main breaker switches.
