When it's time to upgrade your panel
Older homes were wired for a fraction of the electrical load a modern household demands. If you're adding circuits, installing an EV charger, or noticing warning signs, an upgrade keeps your home safe and code-compliant.
Signs your panel needs attention
- Breakers that trip repeatedly or won't reset
- A fuse box instead of a breaker panel
- Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels (a known fire risk)
- Flickering lights or a burning smell near the panel
- Not enough capacity for new appliances or an EV charger
