Signs You May Need an Electrical Service Upgrade

Insufficient Power Supply

Frequent power outages or circuit breakers tripping often indicate your current electrical service may not be sufficient for your needs.

Use of Extension Cords and Power Strips

Heavy use of extension cords and power strips suggests that your home lacks necessary outlets and circuit capacity.

Old or Outdated Electrical Panel

Homes with electrical panels that are 20/30 years old may not be equipped to handle modern electrical demands and safety features and should be evaluated for an upgrade or replacement. Read more about Electrical Panel Replacement

Home Renovations and Additions

Adding new rooms, appliances, or major systems like HVAC units increases the demand on your electrical system, potentially forcing an upgrade.

Flickering Lights

Lights that flicker or dim when other appliances are in use may be a sign that your electrical service is overloaded.

High Utility Bills

Outdated electrical systems can be inefficient, leading to higher energy consumption and increased utility bills.

Components of an Electrical Service Upgrade

Upgrading your electrical service involves several key components to ensure your system can handle current and future electrical demands:

Service Panel: The service panel, also known as the breaker box, distributes electricity throughout your home.

Service Entrance Cable: This cable brings electricity from the utility company to your home.

Meter Base: The meter base houses the electric meter and connects the service entry cable to your home’s electrical system.

Grounding System: A grounding system is essential for safety, helping to prevent electrical shocks and fires.

Circuit Breakers: Circuit Breakers allow individual control of circuits within your home from the main breaker box
