If your electricity panel isn't meeting your company’s power needs, we can help. Mr. Electric of Saginaw offers commercial electrical panel upgrades in Saginaw, MI. A well-maintained electrical panel ensures proper power flow throughout your business. Electrical panels function through circuit breakers that cut power when circuits draw too much electricity, preventing overloads. Older or faulty panels pose significant fire risks.

  • Your company’s electrical panel is usually housed in a gray metal box with circuit breakers managing power distribution to different areas. A central switch allows you to cut off power throughout your property instantly. When it cannot keep up with your power demands, the electrical panel will show signs of failure.

  • In business premises, the electrical panel is typically situated in an assigned utility space, such as a basement, utility closet, or maintenance room. It is commonly enclosed in a metal cabinet affixed to a wall, allowing for convenient access for maintenance and inspections. Should you need assistance in identifying the location of your panel, consult your building's plans, or reach out us for support. 

  • Frequent tripping circuit breakers are a sign of a potential problem with your panel. Failing breakers during power surges can lead to wire damage, smoke, shocks, or fires. Consider these signs for an upgrade:

    • Crackling or humming noises from the panel.
    • A burn smell near the panel.
    • Visible rust or corrosion on breakers.
    • Increased reliance on extension cords.
    • Appliances underperforming.
    • Frayed or damaged wires in the panel.
    • You use a 60-amp service.
    • Your 100-amp service can't support all appliances.
    • Absence of a main breaker.
    • Heat emanating from the panel.

Why is Upgrading Your Electrical Panel Essential?

Failing to perform timely upgrades on your electrical panel can cause numerous issues that jeopardize safety, incur substantial financial costs, and lead to operational interruptions. Be mindful of the following signs that may indicate the need for a system update:

  • Heightened fire hazard from overloaded circuits
  • Recurrent power failures interrupting business activities
  • Harm to delicate equipment from voltage spikes
  • Increased energy expenses due to lack of efficiency
  • Non-compliance with regulations and possible legal consequences

  • We suggest upgrading panels over 25 years old, as they can cause fire hazards and electrical issues. Whether you need circuit breaker replacements or a completely new panel, we are here for you. Pre-1990 panels might be dangerous. Contact us if your panel matches any below:

    Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Panel

    Deemed unsafe by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, these were installed from 1950-1980 and may cause shocks and fires due to design flaws.

    Zinsco Panel

    Discontinued since the 1970s, some homes still have them. Their defects allow power flow even when breakers are off, causing switches to melt.

    Pushmatic Panel

    Without a main breaker, these have fragile switches that are hard to reset, failing to stop power efficiently. Upgrades minimize fire risks.

    Fuse Boxes

    The earliest panels, handling 60 amps, are unsuitable for modern needs of about 200 amps, posing fire and shock risks.
