  • You can find your electrical panel inside a metal box in your home. It receives electricity from the main power line that connects to your home’s power meter. Rows of switches are located inside the small electrical panel. These circuit breakers help distribute power from your main line to smaller lines. Larger appliances in your home have double or triple circuit breakers due to their large electricity loads.

  • You may notice frequently tripped circuit breakers when you need an electrical panel upgrade. If the circuit breakers in your electrical panel don’t trip, your home is at risk of smoke, fire, melted wires, and electric shock. Some other signs you may need electrical panel upgrades include the following:

    • The circuit breakers are rusted or corroded
    • You heard cracking or buzzing sounds in the electrical panel.
    • Your electrical appliances do not run at their maximum panel.
    • You smell smoke around your electrical panel.
    • The electrical panel feels warm to the touch.
    • You have to use many extension cords in your home.
    • There are frayed or melted wires in your electrical panel.
    • Your home has an outdated 60-amp electrical service. 
    • Your home has a 100-amp electrical service that cannot adequately power all appliances.
    • Your older home has a split-bus panel or fuse block panel without a main circuit breaker.

Outdated Electrical Panels

If your home is more than 25 years older, we recommend an electrical panel upgrade. Older electrical panels pose a fire hazard. We will determine if you have an outdated, defective panel listed below.

 Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Electrical Panel 

The (FPE) Electrical Panel is typically in homes that were built between 1950 and 1980. These electrical panels are classified as defective because they have design flaws that lead to fires and electric shock.

Zinsco Electrical Panel 

Zinsco electrical panels have not been on the market since the 1970s. They often melt switches because they have a design flaw that easily allows electricity to flow when the breakers are switched off.

Pushmatic Electrical Panel 

Pushmatic electrical panels do not have a main breaker switch, so they cannot stop a power flow. These electric panels have weak switches that will not reset over time.

Fuse Boxes 

Fuse boxes were originally installed in homes to handle only 60 amps of power. When a glass fuse breaks, it must be replaced. Today’s homes need about 200 amps for adequate power.

  • If you’re doing home renovation projects, it’s essential to check your updated power needs. If your home demands a significant amount of electricity, it may be time to upgrade your electrical panel. Our service professionals can inspect your home renovations and determine if you need a higher level of power.

    Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
