Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?

An outdated electrical panel not only holds your property back from being what you need it to be, but it could even be dangerous. Pushing an outdated panel to its limits could potentially cause serious issues, such as power surges, brownouts, permanent damage to appliances, or even an electrical fire or injury due to electrocution. For this reason, it’s extremely important to upgrade and replace an outdated, damaged, or otherwise no longer serviceable panel.

Here are a few other good reasons to update your electrical panel:

Increase capacity: If your home needs more power, upgrading your panel can increase the amount of power available.
Enhancing safety: New panels include modern safety devices, such as AFCI and GFCI breakers.
Improving efficiency: New panels manage energy better and may contribute to reduced energy costs.
Aging infrastructure: Older panels might not meet current electrical codes and can be a safety hazard in some cases.
Additional appliances: New appliances such as HVAC systems, hot tubs, or major kitchen appliances, may require more power than your current panel can provide.
Renovation projects: Major home renovations or new additions often require higher capacity panels to support increased electrical loads.

The Electrical Panel Upgrade Process

Upgrading your electrical panel is a big undertaking, so it’s a good idea to be prepared for what that project might entail. Knowing what to expect for your upgrade can help you better prepare your home and make the transition to a modern panel a smooth and straightforward one!

Our panel replacement process includes:

Consultation and assessment: Every panel replacement begins with a thorough evaluation to assess your current electrical infrastructure and your power needs.
Temporary disconnection: When the time comes to install your new panel, we will need to disconnect your power supply at your main electrical entrance. This means your home or business will be without power for the duration of the new installation, which may take several hours.
Installation: During the installation process, we will disassemble and remove your old panel before installing a new one. This could involve enlarging your current panel bay to fit a larger option, and may also include removing some wiring from your walls to correct for code violations or other serious issues. We’ll walk you through what we need to do during your initial consultation.
Testing: Once the installation is complete and all of your new circuits have been configured, we thoroughly test each one before turning the main power back on. This helps avoid any major problems and ensures your system is safe for use again.

You shouldn’t need to disconnect any of your appliances or electrical devices for this process unless we specifically ask you to do so. However, we also strongly advise preparing for your property to be without power for a good chunk of the day of your installation. We recommend using a large ice chest for any frozen or refrigerated foods or medications that need to remain cold. Likewise, it’s also extremely helpful if you clear out the space around your electrical panel for at least several feet all the way around.

If your electrical panel is outdated or you're experiencing issues with your home’s power supply, contact Helping Hands Electric at (608) 585-8413 or reach out to us with our contact form.
