Back to Service

 

The power provider, an electric or utility company, brings electricity to each home and installs a meter. Everything past that point, including the electrical panel, is the homeowner's responsibility. Upgrading and replacing an electrical panel is therefore up to the homeowner as well. This work requires a licensed electrician.

Do your lights flicker? Are you still replacing fuses in an antiquated electrical panel? Or are your breakers tripping constantly? If so, your home is likely equipped with just a 60 amp electrical service, or a 100 amp electrical service, rather than the standard 200 amp electrical service that is installed in most homes today. You should upgrade or replace your electrical panel.

All Electrical Work past the Meter is the Homeowner's Responsibility.
 

Why You Might Need to Upgrade or Replace Your Electric Panel:

  1. Major Renovation or Home Addition
  2. Using 60 Amp Electrical Service
  3. Using 100 Amp Electrical Service
  4. Panel Box is Making a Crackling Sound
  5. Fuses Blow Regularly
  6. Circuit Breakers Trip Frequently
  7. Appliances aren't Running on Full Power
  8. Flickering Lights
  9. Outlets are Two Prongs (non-grounded)
  10. Multiple Extension Cords
  11. More Outlets Necessary
  12. Need to Add a Sub Panel
  13. Require a 240v Circuit
  14. Power Surge Arrestor Needed
  15. Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) Outlet is Required
  16. Homeowners Insurance Requires an Upgrade
Old Electrical Panel Boxes that use Fuses can be replaced with a higher Amp service.
