Electrical Panel Upgrade Wichita

We don't typically think about our home’s electrical systems very often, but instead assume everything is fine. However, not giving your system the attention it needs can lead to a surprise issue that affects the comfort, convenience, and safety of your household. If a device or appliance demands too much electricity over one of your circuits, you can risk circuit overload. In the worst cases, this hazardous issue can cause a fire and damage or destroy your home. A residential electrical panel includes safeguards that prevent this issue from occurring. Unfortunately, as your panel gets older, it may struggle to keep up with your system’s increasing energy demands, and you'll need the assistance of a Wichita electrician to take care of it.

Mr. Electric of Wichita will gladly help you prevent hazardous problems like this with our upgrade services. Our highly-skilled electricians specialize in residential electrical panel upgrades, keeping household lights, appliances, and HVAC systems running safely and reliably. If you'd like to learn more about our electric services, read on or reach out to us today.

  • The electrical panel safely connects the main power line to your home. This line connects to your residential electrical panel, which distributes energy to all parts of your home that are attached to the system. Inside an electrical panel are multiple switches, also called circuit breakers, that distribute electricity into smaller branch lines connected to all your home’s outlets. These switches should also indicate the maximum amperage a particular line can handle before the power causes a breaker to trip. The main power breaker, located next to the switches, allows you to switch off power to your entire electrical system simultaneously.

  • Generally speaking, if your current electrical panel is over 25 years old, you should invest in a house electrical panel upgrade. We strongly urge homeowners to take this advice seriously, as an older panel can lead to various hazardous issues in your home. Additionally, many electrical panels that were installed before 1990 have been proven unsafe. We will gladly schedule a prompt panel replacement in Wichita if your home has a defective Federal Pacific Electric (FPE), Zinsco, or Pushmatic electrical panel.

  • Just like an old freezer or air conditioner, a home electrical panel can deteriorate over time. As your household unit ages, it may begin having problems like frequently overloaded circuits. Breakers may trip frequently or cause a sudden, painful jolt to you or a loved one from an outlet. We recommend watching for signs of rust and corrosion, as well as crackling sounds or a warm or outdated panel.
