Understanding Your Electrical Panel
Your home is connected to the electric company's main power line through a power meter outside, which then goes into your electrical panel. The panel, often gray and located in a garage, basement, closet, or on an outside wall near your meter, has switches that distribute the main power line into branch lines. These circuit breakers can handle a specific number of amps before tripping. Your electrical panel will have a label to map out the locations of the outlets and appliances. Additionally, the main power breaker can turn off power to your entire home. A residential electrical panel upgrade can help you enjoy the benefits without the risks.
Signs Your Home Needs an Electrical Panel Upgrade
Overloaded circuits can cause flickering lights or require turning off one appliance before using another on the same circuit. If the panel is at least 25 years old, rust or corrosion on circuit breakers, crackling sounds from the panel, lack of GFCIs near water sources, appliances running at less than full power, needing extension cords, and 100-amp electrical services that cannot operate some appliances are all warning signs of necessary upgrades. Fuse block panels or split-bus panels with no main breaker are also problematic. We can assess your power needs and add outlets, whole house surge protectors, and more. An electrical box upgrade may be all you need.
Defective Electrical Panel Brands & Types
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE), Zinsco, Pushmatic, and fuse box panels are all types of defective electrical panels that need replacing. FPE panels were installed between 1950 and 1980 and can cause fires or electric shocks. Zinsco panels allow power to flow even once the breakers are switched off. Pushmatic panels have weak breaker switches and no main breaker switches, while fuse boxes can handle only a fraction of the amperage that modern homes require. A breaker box upgrade will ensure your system is safe and up-to-date.
The Cost of Electrical Panel Upgrades
The cost of upgrading your electrical panel depends on the scope of the project and site conditions. The price will be higher if existing wiring or conduits need work before we can safely replace the panel. Our services include circuit breaker replacement, installation and upgrades, rewiring the panel, bus bar replacement, and relocating electrical panels due to moisture or other concerns.
