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 electrical panel in your home is typically located in a gray metal enclosure with a series of circuit breakers. The circuit breakers control power distribution to various parts of your home. It also contains a central switch that can instantly cut off your house's power.

  • Regular tripping of circuit breakers is often indicative of a problematic electrical panel. If your circuit breakers fail during power overloads, you run the risk of wire damage, smoke emissions, electrical shocks, or even fires. The following symptoms may hint at the need for an electrical panel upgrade:

    • Loud crackling or humming sounds from the panel.
    • A smoky smell near the panel.
    • Rust or corrosion signs on circuit breakers.
    • The need for extra extension cords increases.
    • Appliances don't work at full capacity.
    • Noticing frayed or broken wires in the panel.
    • Your home runs on a 60-amp electric service.
    • Your 100-amp service failing to power all appliances.
    • You don’t have a main breaker panel.
    • The inside of the panel feels hot.

Outdated Electrical Panels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.

  • Our electricians perform electrical safety inspections to determine the health of your current electrical system. During home renovations, we advise upgrading an electrical panel to accommodate the boosted power load. If we find any problems during our electrical safety inspection, we explain your options and offer estimates for any electrical upgrades. Some benefits of electrical safety inspections include the following:

    • Peace of mind

    • Energy savings
    • Boost in electrical safety
    • Identify and repair safety hazards
    • Meeting insurance company requirements
