Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
Many homes, especially older ones, have electrical panels that were not built for today’s power demands. If your panel is over 20 years old, it may not handle modern appliances, causing tripping breakers, flickering lights, or power outages.
- Frequent breaker trips:
Your system may be overloaded. - Flickering or dimming lights:
Your panel may struggle to keep up with power demand. - Your home has a Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Sylvania, or Challenger panel:
These outdated panels are no longer considered safe and need replacement. - You’re adding high-power appliances:
Hot tubs, EV chargers, or HVAC systems require more electrical capacity. - Your panel still uses fuses:
Fuses are outdated and should be upgraded to a modern breaker switch system. - Burning smells or a warm panel box:
