    WHEN DO I NEED TO UPGRADE MY ELECTRICAL PANEL?

    By admin | Uncategorized | 0 comment | 23 September, 2020 | 0

    If you are buying a new home or thinking of renovating your existing home, you may want to speak to a qualified electrician to see if you need to upgrade your electrical panel. It is recommended to have a 200-amp panel installed. Most electric panels need to be replaced every 25 to 40 years, but there are signs to watch for indications that you may need to upgrade.

    Here are the signs to look for:

     

    • Flickering lights
    • The smell of burning
    • Small electric shocks when touching appliances
    • Sparking on power outlets
    • Warmth around the electric panel
    • The circuit breaker keeps tripping after installing new appliances

    Other reasons to upgrade:

    1.You may want to install a hot tub, air conditioning or you are thinking of doing an addition to your home. Doing so will increase the electrical consumption of your home and the circuit breaker may keep tripping if your electrical panel is not upgraded.

    2. If you presently have a fuse box, it may be time to upgrade your electrical panel. Not only will you be safer, but your house insurance may also be cheaper. Additionally, some insurance companies now refuse to cover homes that have a fuse box in their home.

    3.If you are preparing to put your home on the market, you will most likely boost your home value and have fewer questions to answer in regards to your electrical.

    It can be extremely dangerous to upgrade an electrical panel if you are not qualified to do so.  It is much better to leave it to a qualified Electrician to do the job. Doucet Power & Controls are experienced with this type of work and are here to help.
