Electrical Panel Upgrade

You should get an electrical service panel upgrade if your current one is more than 20 years old, especially if you have replaced older appliances with new appliances. Newer appliances have different electrical needs. Older panels often do not meet updated safety standards for UL-approved electrical codes, increasing the risk of electrocution and fires. Additionally, constant shortages can damage sensitive electronics like computers, HDTVs and entertainment systems in your home.

An electrical panel upgrade is also a good idea if you’re considering selling your home. Many insurance companies may deny insurance coverage to homes using an older fuse box. Most times, they will only sign off on a sale if an outdated box is replaced with an electrical panel.
