You probably need to upgrade the electrical panel if:
- The home is 20+ years old. Today’s appliances require more electricity. Newly built homes typically include 200 amp panels. To meet your growing electrical needs, a new panel is probably necessary.
- The electrical panel gets warm. An overloaded panel can feel warm to the touch. A bad circuit breaker or improperly connected wire can cause a burning smell. These issues need to be addressed immediately.
- There’s faulty wiring. If you’ve noticed dimming or flickering lights, sparking or discolored power outlets and/or a mild shock when touching appliances, these are signs of faulty wiring. Your wiring may not comply with today’s safety codes and present a fire risk.
- You’re adding appliances. As you install new appliances, the electric panel may not have sufficient power to operate them. Tripping circuit breakers are an indication that you need a panel upgrade.
- You’re dealing with fuses rather than circuit breakers. Fuses are outdated and a fire hazard. When a fuse detects a current running at too high of a level, the fuse will melt. Circuit breakers can simply be reset.
Do You Need a Panel Upgrade?
You may need an electrical service upgrade if:
- You hear buzzing near the electrical panel
- There are fuses rather than breaker in the electrical box
- There are numerous wires under each fuse or breaker
- Breakers trip and won’t reset
- The panel is full and you want additional circuits
- There is visible rust on or in the panel
- There are graying wires feeding your panel
- The exterior pipe or meter are failing or damaged
- The electrical service is 20+ years old
- You have 60-amp service
