IF YOU NEED AN ELECTRICAL PANEL UPGRADE, JUST CALL STORM ELECTRICAL
One of the numerous services we at Storm Electrical provide to the local community is electrical panel upgrades. Panels tend to become outdated and obsolete with time. The standard 100 amp panels in older homes are incapable of handling todays extensive loads. As a result, blackouts and nuisance trippings are common. Overloaded panels can raise the risk of a fire as well as the cost of a complete replacement. An electrical panel upgrade can be completed by a residential electrician such as Storm Electrical.
REACH OUT TO THE BEST FOR ELECTRICAL PANEL UPGRADES AND REPLACEMENT
There are a variety of reasons why you might need an electrical panel upgrade. The panel separates the circuits that supply electricity to your home. Each one is safeguarded by a circuit breaker, which is prone to malfunction. The following are some of the reasons why a panel upgrade or modification may be required.
​
Wiring Issues
This is one of the most common causes of home fires that calls for an immediate panel upgrade. A burning odor, flickering lights, sparking power outlets, and a jolt when touching your appliances are all signs that something could be wrong with your wiring.
​
New Appliances that Consume a Lot of Energy
Higher amperage may be required if you are purchasing a new air conditioner, hot tub, or other energy-intensive devices. If your amps are insufficient, your circuit breakers may trip every time you turn on a new piece of equipment. For this, a 150 amp to 200 amp electrical panel is typically recommended.
​
Use of Extension Cables in Excess
If you've been plugging everything into one main power outlet with many power strips and extension cables, it's time for an electrical panel upgrade.
