Why You Should Upgrade Your Electrical Panel

Most people stick with the same electrical panel that came with the house. However, over time, they can add appliances and devices that max out what they can provide.

Here are some benefits Woodfin – Your Home Team advocates in upgrading your electrical panel.

Increased Capacity: Modern families demand more power than ever. Appliances, entertainment systems, and the constant need to charge devices can quickly overwhelm an outdated electrical panel. Upgrading ensures you get the power you need without tripping breakers or risking damage to your appliances or devices.
Improved Safety: Older electrical panels could be safety hazards. They may not have the required features like arc fault interrupters to prevent electrical fires. Upgrading reduces your risks and protects your family and property.
Future Proofing Your Home: As technology advances, so do the home’s electrical system requirements. If you plan to renovate, add significant appliances, or an EV charging station, upgrading your electrical panel will ensure you have enough juice.

Signs You Need Panel Box Repair

Is your panel box nearing the end of its useful life? Does it present a danger to your home and family? You may need a new panel box if yours exhibits these issues.

Frequent Breaker Trips:

Regular circuit breaker tripping is a sign that your electrical panel is struggling to handle your power demands. This often happens when the panel is outdated or too small.

Overheating or Burning Odors:

If you notice a burning odor near your electrical panel or if it feels warm, it could indicate a dangerous issue like faulty wiring or overloading.

Flickering or Dimming Lights:

When lights flicker or dim, especially when using appliances, it could mean your electrical panel isn't distributing power efficiently.

Overusing Extension Cords:

Are extension cords taking over your home? Over-relying on extension cords typically means you need more outlets and an electrical panel upgrade to accommodate additional circuits.

If you need a new panel box installation, call one of our certified electricians for an assessment. Woodfin – Your Home Team only hires trustworthy techs for your peace of mind.

Should I Replace My Fuse Box?

Although they’re old technology, not everyone needs a fuse box replacement. It might be sufficient if your system is in good shape, meets your electrical needs, and complies with local codes.

However, you should consider replacing it or upgrading to a modern breaker panel if:

You frequently blow fuses

You’re adding more appliances or renovating
