Do you need a service panel upgrade?

A panel upgrade or "change out" is needed when the existing panel is or has the potential to cause issues. There are many homes in the area that have an old fuse panel with inadequate amperage or not enough breaker spaces to accommodate your home's needs. As older homes or buildings get renovated more electrical gets added without the proper upgrades to the service. Commonly in older homes you may find several circuits connected to one breaker because there weren't enough spaces in the panel.

Combining circuits together adds more load to the breaker than it was designed for. Many older homes are still only equipped with 60 amp panels and homes today ideally need to be equipped with 200 amp services to accommodate basic electric needs. As home appliances and lighting needs evolve they require more power to operate and an older panel is not suitable to hold the load. Many problems associated with an outdated panel are tripped breaker dimming lights.
