When Do I Need To Think About Circuit Panel Upgrades?
Some of these issues are more precarious than others, but for the most part, the following issues are telltale signs that there is probably something wrong with your electrical panel and it requires an update.
It’s not always necessarily something that you personally are doing to cause these kinds of issues – general wear and tear over time is always going to play a part – but regardless of the reasons that caused it, you will need upgrades for:
Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips
If you find yourself having to constantly reset your circuit breakers, it’s got to the point where it’s past coincidence and instead highly indicative that your panel isn’t managing the electrical load it’s under very well. This kind of thing is obviously annoying, but it’s something our expert engineers can easily repair upon servicing your home.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
Similarly to the circuit breaker trips, this is usually a sign that your panel is overloaded or generally isn’t distributing power evenly enough. Again, we can solve this particular issue easily by performing an electrical panel replacement. This will ensure you have consistently bright lights across your home.
Burning Odors or Scorch Marks
The last two issues were just inconvenient, but this is way more serious as it’s a strong indication that your panel is overheating and could potentially pose a fire hazard. If you notice these sorts of odors or scorch marks in your home, we can provide emergency installation services to prevent any further damage to your home.
Old Fuse Box
If you’ve got a slightly less modern home – not even an antique home, necessarily, but built before 1995 – there’s a good chance that your home still uses an old fuse box that doesn’t meet modern safety standards.
New Appliances
If you’re planning on adding certain kitchen appliances that are relatively high-demand – like a new washing machine, for instance – you’ll likely need an upgrade to your circuit panel so that they function correctly and don’t overload your system.
How Often Do I Need My Circuit Panel Inspected?
Our team of qualified electricians generally recommend scheduling our services every 3-5 years so we can ensure that there is nothing faulty about it and is functioning as it should be.
If you’re generally taking care of it and aren’t overloading the circuit panel, it’s unlikely that we will find anything wrong with it – that said, not every circuit panel fault is as obvious as a burning smell, so we’d be able to spot anything that’s amiss before it ends up developing into something more serious
Finally, we’d suggest you opt for slightly more frequent inspections if you have a particularly old home, or even just if you notice some of the warning signs that we touched on earlier in the article.
Benefits of Upgrading Your Electrical Panel
While the inspections we offer are crucial for keeping your circuit panel functioning properly over the years, the inspections are only going to become more frequent if you are still using an old panel that hasn’t been upgraded yet.

Improved Safety: You will be massively minimizing your odds of electrical fires or any other kinds of hazards since all the panels we install come with advanced safety features.
