Powering Your Modern Life with Superior Panel Upgrades
An electrical panel upgrade is the essential foundation for modernizing your home. Whether you're adding an EV charger, a hot tub, or new high-demand appliances, our systemic upgrades ensure your infrastructure is safe, reliable, and fully code-compliant. Protect your haven with a professional capacity upgrade designed for today's electrical loads.
01
Frequent Breaker Trips
Circuit breakers that trip repeatedly are a sign that an electrical circuit is being overloaded or may have another underlying fault. This can occur when a home’s electrical system is no longer adequate for its current energy demands, but it may also indicate a problem with an appliance, wiring, or the breaker itself. A licensed electrician should identify the cause and determine whether repairs, additional circuits, or a panel upgrade are needed.
04
Adding an EV Charger
Installing a Level 2 EV charging station can substantially increase a home’s electrical demand. A licensed electrician should evaluate the existing electrical service and perform a load calculation to confirm that the panel has adequate capacity. In some cases, a panel or service upgrade may be needed to support safe, reliable charging at the desired speed.
05
A New Addition to your property
A new addition to your property can substantially increase your home’s electrical demand. Before construction begins, a licensed electrician should assess the existing panel and service capacity to ensure they can safely support the added lighting, outlets, appliances, HVAC equipment, and other electrical needs. A panel or service upgrade may be required.
Signs You Need an Upgrade
Warning Indicators
02
Flickering Lights
Lights that dim or flicker when large appliances start may indicate that the electrical system is experiencing a voltage drop or another wiring-related issue. Potential causes include an overloaded service, loose or corroded connections, undersized wiring, or a failing electrical panel. A licensed electrician should inspect the system to identify the cause and recommend the appropriate repair or upgrade.
05
New Hot Tub Installation
High-demand equipment, such as hot tubs, requires a dedicated electrical circuit and can place significant additional load on a home’s electrical system. In many cases, an older 100-amp service panel may not have sufficient capacity to safely support these loads along with the home’s existing electrical demands. A licensed electrician should perform a load calculation to determine whether a service or panel upgrade is necessary.
03
Warm Electrical Panel
An electrical panel that feels warm to the touch or emits a burning odor is a serious warning sign and may indicate a fire hazard. Possible causes include overloaded circuits, loose connections, damaged components, or faulty wiring. Turn off power if it can be done safely, avoid touching the panel further, and contact a licensed electrician for immediate evaluation.
06
Outdated Fuse Panels
If your home still uses fuses instead of breakers, your system is likely non-compliant with current electrical codes and unsafe.
Zinsco or Federal pacific brand
Zinsco and Federal Pacific electrical panels and circuit breakers are widely regarded as obsolete equipment with a history of reliability and safety concerns. Because replacement breakers are sold on eBay doesn't mean they are any more reliable and are a huge risk. The equipment has been discontinued for many years, properties with these panels should be evaluated by a qualified, licensed electrician. When replacement is recommended, the existing equipment should be removed and properly disposed of as part of a modern panel upgrade.
