If your electricity box fails to meet your power requirements, our electricians have you covered. Mr. Electric of Saginaw offers electrical panel upgrades to Saginaw, MI. A healthy electrical panel effectively governs the flow of power throughout your home. The electric panel's circuit breakers cut off the power supply whenever a circuit demands excessive power, preventing overloading. Older or defective electrical panels may pose serious fire threats. Our competent electricians can assess your existing electrical panel to determine whether an upgrade would work to your advantage. Contact us for an estimate of our home electrical panel upgrade options.
Outdated Electrical Panels
We recommend upgrading your electrical panel if it’s more than 25 years old. These aged panels present fire hazards and often lead to multiple electrical disturbances. Panels installed before 1990 could be dangerous. Contact us if your electrical panel matches any of the ones mentioned below.
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Panel
Designated as a safety risk by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, these panels were installed in homes between 1950 and 1980. Their faulty manufacturing and design can cause electrical shocks and fires.
Zinsco Panel
Despite being discontinued since the 1970s, Zinsco panels can still be found in some homes. Their design flaw allows power to continue even when the breakers are off, leading to melted switches.
Pushmatic Panel
Pushmatic panels lack a main breaker switch, and their fragile breaker switches become hard to reset over time, failing to interrupt power flow efficiently. It’s crucial to upgrade these panels to minimize fire risks.
Fuse Boxes
Fuse boxes, the earliest form of electrical panels, can handle up to 60 amps, while modern homes require about 200 amps. These old systems present a risk of fire and electrocution.
