If you upgraded all your home appliances and electronics, then you should also call an electrical service company for an electrical panel upgrade. Your old breaker box can no longer meet the safety standards and power supply requirements of powerful computers, smart TVs, and various large appliances.
An undersized electrical network and panel are the main cause of:
- Malfunctioning appliances and smart devices
- Power outages
- Fires.
If your panel was installed more than 10 years ago, consider a home electrical panel upgrade. And if your electricity supply is connected to an outdated fuse box, then you must definitely have to call an electrician for breaker box replacement.
Signs that Your Home Needs Electrical Panel Upgrade
“If it is not broken, why fix it?” you may wonder. If you think and look carefully, you know that you need to replace the electric panel. Some of the worrying signs you may have already noted are:
- Your electrical panel has signs of rust
- Your circuit breakers trip regularly
- The power rating of the panel is less than 200 amps
- The electrical panel feels warm to the touch
- The lights dim or flicker frequently.
All these are signs that you need an electrical panel upgrade, because the old one is failing and can no longer face the power consumption levels at your home.
Hire Licensed Electricians for Breaker Box Replacement
Any kind of work on the electrical system in your home must be performed by certified and experienced electrical contractors. There is too much at risk: your home, your belongings, or even your life.
Hiring unlicensed workers or even attempting an electrical panel upgrade on your own can lead to sparks or short circuits which may trigger a fire in your home. Plus, you also run the risk of electrocuting yourself while you replace the electrical panel.
