What You Need To Know
What Do I Need to Know Before a Service Upgrade?
An electrical main panel, also known as service panel, circuit breaker box or load center, is the main distribution point for electrical circuits in your house. Think of it as the heart of the electrical systems. This is where the power comes into your home. Electrical panels usually provide in between 100 and 400 amps of power to your house, depending on the rating. Power reaches the house through the utility company’s lines (service entrance).
Benefits of Conducting Electrical Panel Upgrade?
The most important benefit of upgrading your electrical panel is safety. Knowing that your home is protected from fire hazards caused by overloaded circuits. You could have a peace of mind knowing your home and family are protected. You will be able to use your modern appliances safely and know that your new electronic equipment is protected. Opportunity to add more circuits to power you house. Updating your electrical system may increase your home’s resale value. Also, insurance companies are more likely to give you insurance under good terms.
When I Need to Consider Electrical Panel Upgrade?
Following are some of the indicators that your electrical panels need upgrade:
- Current panel is in poor condition
• Current panel is old and has only a few circuits, and your breakers do not trip (breakers are designed to trip and protect the wire from getting overloaded and heating up).
• Circuit breakers trip frequently
• Lights dim when turning on other appliances
• Adding high power-consumption appliances like EV charging station or SPA
Standards generally recognize that the life expectancy of electric panels is about 25-40 years. With older panels, contact points become corroded, possibly causing arcing, brownouts, and, at worst, fires, personal injury, and property damage.
What Does Electrical Service Upgrade Mean?
Electrical service upgrade means allowing more electrical power to come to your house. Many older homes were built with 50, 60 or 100 amps which was at the time sufficient to support house’s electrical needs. They weren’t designed to facilitate modern appliances like EV charging stations, dishwashers, AC’s etc. that we have come to depend on. To accommodate today’s typical electric demand with high power-consumption appliances, a 200 A panel is recommended. It is also important to note that larger panel itself won’t use more electricity. It just means you will have more space available for adding circuits and more electrical capacity to supply your household needs as they arise.
How Much Does It Cost to Upgrade Electrical Panel?
The price usually varies in between $1000-$3500, depending on the property and the type of an upgrade. The key factors which determine the price are:
1) If it is a main or a sub panel
2) If it includes service upgrade
3) If it is with a meter or without
4) The scale of the upgrade
5) The positioning of the panel
