Professional Electrical Panel Upgrades
Anyone in Stuart who lives in an older house should schedule an electrical panel inspection. Panels have a life span of around 50 years, but it’s often a good idea to replace them sooner. The National Electrical Code (NEC) updates every three years to reflect innovations and new understanding.
Older panels cannot support some of the newer appliances on the market. Many homeowners installing an EV charging station have found they needed electrical panel upgrades first. Tankless water heaters are another popular home improvement that often requires the homeowner to upgrade their electrical system.
Surge protection is an excellent example of how the NEC changes. Before 2020, it didn’t require whole-house surge protection, but it does now. Builders must include either a Type 1 or Type 2 surge protection device. Our experts encourage both for a multilayered defense. It’s the best way to protect against direct lightning strikes and internal surges.
Subpanels are popular electrical panel upgrades for larger homes. There’s a limit to how many dedicated circuits and breakers a panel can have. There’s also a limit to the number of devices per circuit. What do you do as you near those limits? Subpanels let you expand the capacity for circuits, breakers, and overall device count.
If your electrical panel is below capacity, we can add new circuits and breakers to it directly. Consider upgrading if your home still uses fuses either fully or partially. Other signs you may need an upgrade include frequent tripped breakers and flickering lights.
There are many benefits to a panel upgrade:
- Improved home value
- Higher energy efficiency
- Less fire risk and better safety overall
- Lower month-to-month electricity costs
- Enhanced protection against lightning strikes
