Why Is Upgrade important?
While modern electrical panels are generally designed to be safe, homes that have electrical panels installed as recently as the 1980s may have deteriorated components due to the technology available at the time. As a result, your electrical panel may have become hazardous as it ages, potentially posing safety risks for you and your family. Furthermore, older electrical panels may have limited space for additional circuits or may still use fuses, which could make it difficult to obtain home insurance coverage.
Upgrading your electrical panel may be necessary for various reasons, not just one. For instance, you may need to upgrade it if you're:
- Renovating your home, especially with an appliance-heavy kitchen.
- Adding a home addition or a major appliance like central heating, air conditioning, or a spa
- Adding outlets to your home
- Meeting homeowners insurance requirements
- Needing a 240-volt circuit
- Adding a sub-panel
