Why Your Home Needs an Electrical Panel Upgrade

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s power system. If it’s outdated or overloaded, it could be a hidden fire hazard. Upgrading your panel ensures your home can safely support modern electrical demands and new appliances.

Signs You Need a Panel Upgrade

  • Frequent breaker trips or blown fuses
  • Flickering or dimming lights
  • Use of multiple power strips and extension cords
  • New major appliances or home renovations

Modern Living Requires More Power

Homes today use significantly more electricity than they did 20–30 years ago. A 100-amp panel may not be sufficient for HVAC systems, EV chargers, or smart home tech. A 200-amp upgrade provides the headroom you need for future expansion.

Increase Safety and Property Value

Upgrading your panel reduces the risk of electrical fires and may even lower your home insurance premiums. It’s also a major selling point for future buyers, especially in older homes.
