What is a Panel Upgrade?

A panel upgrade involves replacing your home’s existing electrical panel with a modern version designed to handle today’s power demands. Your panel is the hub of your home’s electrical system, distributing electricity to all circuits. Over time, panels can become outdated, leading to inefficiencies and potential hazards.

Reasons to Consider a Panel Upgrade:

  • Outdated equipment: Older panels, such as fuse boxes, may no longer meet safety standards.
  • Increased power needs: Modern appliances and devices require more capacity than older panels provide.
  • Frequent issues: Tripped breakers, flickering lights, or buzzing sounds from your panel indicate it’s time for an upgrade.
  • Safety concerns: Panels that overheat or show signs of wear can increase the risk of electrical fires.

A panel upgrade ensures your electrical system operates safely and efficiently while accommodating your household’s growing energy needs.

What is a Service Upgrade?

A service upgrade involves increasing the electrical capacity of your entire system, starting from the utility connection to your home. This upgrade is essential for homes that need more overall power due to larger appliances, renovations, or new installations.

Common Reasons for a Service Upgrade:

  • Insufficient capacity: Homes with 60-amp or 100-amp service may struggle to support modern energy demands.
  • Adding major appliances: HVAC systems, hot tubs, or electric vehicle chargers often require 200-amp service or higher.
  • Home expansions: Renovations or new rooms often call for additional electrical capacity.
  • Frequent power interruptions: If your breakers trip when using multiple appliances, it’s likely time for a service upgrade.

A service upgrade not only boosts capacity but also enhances the overall efficiency and reliability of your home’s electrical system.

Panel Upgrades vs. Service Upgrades: What’s the Difference?

Understanding the difference between these two upgrades is key to making the right decision for your home:

  • Panel Upgrade: Focuses on replacing the electrical panel itself, ensuring it’s modern, safe, and efficient. This is ideal for homes with outdated or damaged panels.
  • Service Upgrade: Involves increasing the total electrical capacity of your home’s system, including wiring and connections, to meet higher power demands.

In many cases, a panel upgrade may be sufficient to resolve issues, but for significant increases in power needs, a service upgrade is often required. Our licensed electricians will assess your home’s system and recommend the right solution based on your current and future energy requirements.

Benefits of Panel and Service Upgrades

Investing in these upgrades offers numerous advantages:

  • Improved safety: Eliminate risks associated with outdated panels and overloaded systems.
  • Enhanced efficiency: Enjoy reliable power with fewer interruptions and tripped breakers.
  • Support for modern appliances: Power high-demand systems like EV chargers, HVAC units, and more.
  • Increased home value: A modern electrical system adds appeal and marketability to your property.

Panel and Service Upgrade FAQs

If your panel is outdated or damaged but your overall power needs are stable, a panel upgrade is likely sufficient. If you’re adding major appliances or expanding your home, a service upgrade may be necessary.

Most panel upgrades are completed in a single day. Service upgrades may take longer, depending on the scope of work and utility coordination.
