While regular upkeep and maintenance can help preserve many aspects of older homes, one area that often requires attention is the electrical system. Over time, the wear and tear on electrical components can lead to instability and pose a serious risk to the safety of your home and its occupants. That’s why it’s essential to update outdated electrical systems to meet modern standards.
Older electrical systems may lack the capacity to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics, increasing the risk of electrical fires and other hazards. Additionally, outdated wiring methods and materials may not provide adequate protection against electrical faults and surges, putting your home at risk of damage.
By upgrading your home’s electrical system, you can ensure that it meets current safety codes and regulations, providing you with peace of mind and protecting your property from potential hazards. A professional electrician can assess the condition of your existing electrical system and recommend the necessary upgrades to enhance its safety and performance.
Don’t wait until electrical problems arise—take proactive steps to safeguard your home by investing in an electrical system upgrade today. Contact Expert Electric to schedule a consultation and ensure that your home’s electrical system is up to date and safe for years to come.
At Expert Electric, we often get asked the question “Should I upgrade my electrical panel?” and, before we make a recommendation, we always ask a series of questions to determine the course of action that is in the best interest of the client, their family, and their home.
Benefits of Upgrading Your Electrical Panel
Over the years, people have come up with new, safer ways of supplying homes with electricity, and one of these upgraded systems is a more effective electrical panel. Upgrading your electrical panel can help your home to be safer from overloaded circuits and electrical fires, as well as save you money, make your home more environmentally friendly, and save you time.
What is an Electrical Panel?
Your home’s electrical panel is the central connection point for your home to the municipal power grid. It divides up the electricity to distribute it around your home through a series of fuses or breakers that regulate how much electricity is sent through each circuit. The electrical panel is often called the fuse box or breaker box technically located in a garage or utility room.
Do I Need to Upgrade My Electrical Panel?
Before you can know whether or not your electrical panel needs to be upgraded, it is necessary to inspect it to determine its age and function. When looking at the electrical panel, ask yourself the following questions:
- Is the home older than 20 years?
- Does the electrical panel still use fuses instead of breaker switches?
- Does the electrical panel ever feel warm?
- Is there ever a funny smell coming from the electrical panel?
- Do the fuses or breakers in the electrical panel break or trip frequently?
- Are all of the home’s appliances running at full capacity?
- When an appliance is turned on, do the lights in the home dim or flicker?
- Are there any plans to renovate or add
If the answer to any of these questions was “yes,” then it is very likely that the electrical panel needs to be replaced. To avoid shock or electrocution, it is vitally important always to contact a licensed electrician to conduct any changes to an electrical panel.
