Your Electrical Panel FAQs, Answered
If your electrical panel is over 25 years old, it may be a potential safety hazard, making it crucial to consider an upgrade. With increasing electrical demands in modern homes, you might find that a new panel is necessary before the typical lifespan of 25 to 40 years. To check if your home meets current safety standards and to receive expert guidance, schedule an appointment with one of our professionals for a comprehensive system assessment.
The electrical capacity of your home can vary significantly based on factors such as previous upgrades made by past owners and the specific characteristics of your property. To accurately determine this capacity, it’s essential to assess your electrical service panel’s rating, the number of circuits installed, and the overall demand from your electrical appliances.
