When Should You Consider an Electrical Panel Upgrade?
The electrical panel is your electrical system's central hub, distributing power to every room and device in your home. As your electrical demands increase, an outdated panel may struggle to keep up, posing safety risks and causing performance issues. Knowing when to upgrade can help prevent bigger problems down the line.
Here are five signs it may be time for an electrical panel upgrade:
- You have a fuse box instead of circuit breakers: Fuse boxes are outdated and don’t meet modern safety standards. Replacing them with a breaker panel is safer and more efficient.
- Your breakers trip frequently: Constantly resetting tripped breakers means your panel may be overloaded. It’s a sign your system can’t handle the electrical load.
- You notice flickering or dimming lights: Inconsistent lighting can indicate that your panel is straining to supply adequate power, especially when appliances kick on.
- You’re adding major appliances or renovating: New appliances or home additions often require more power than older panels can provide.
- There are signs of overheating or burning smells: Warmth around the panel, a burning odor, or discolored outlets can point to serious safety concerns requiring immediate attention.
New Electrical Panel Installation

How Upgrading Your Electric Panel Can Lead to Lower Energy Bills
Older panels are often inefficient and may struggle to distribute electricity properly, especially as your household adds more modern appliances and technology. When your system isn’t optimized, it can draw excess power, waste energy, and cause devices to run less efficiently.
Upgrading your electrical panel allows for better regulation and distribution of electricity throughout your home. A modern panel more effectively supports energy-efficient appliances and renewable energy systems like solar panels, helping to reduce overall energy consumption. It can also minimize energy losses caused by overheating wires, overloaded circuits, or power surges.

How Much Do Panel Upgrades Cost?
The cost of an electrical panel upgrade depends on factors like the amperage, type of panel, and the complexity of the installation. Additional costs can arise if we determine that you need rewiring or a meter upgrade.
Please call our team for an up-front and transparent estimate. We’ll always make sure you have all the details before we begin your upgrade.
Does the Electrical Panel Brand Impact Replacement or Upgrade Costs?
The brand of the electrical panel can significantly impact the cost of a replacement or upgrade. Well-known and reputable brands like GE often come with higher upfront costs, but they’re typically chosen for their reliability, availability of replacement parts, and long-term performance. Panels from these brands are often more compatible with a wide range of breakers and offer better safety features, which can make them a worthwhile investment despite the initial price tag.
On the other hand, lesser-known or discontinued brands may be cheaper initially but could lead to higher costs in the long run. Finding compatible breakers or replacement parts for outdated or obscure panels can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. Electricians may sometimes recommend a complete system replacement if parts aren’t available or the brand has a known safety issue.
