Circuit Panel Upgrades and Changes in Allentown, PA

Whether you’re warming up a cup of tea in the microwave or enjoying your favorite movie on your flatscreen television, your electrical panel is responsible for delivering power to your devices safely and reliably. Raw electrical power that comes from the outside of your home isn’t suitable for your devices, so the panel is responsible for breaking the current and redistributing it where it’s needed. Think of your circuit panel as the heart of your entire electrical system.

Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?

There are a wide range of reasons why you may want or need to upgrade your electrical panel or change it. The way we use power in our homes has changed a lot in the last few decades, and a panel that dates back to an earlier era may not be able to meet the demands of all the new appliances and devices you want to use. Older panels may also pose a safety hazard. The most common reasons why it may be time to make electrical service upgrades include:

  • Your panel is showing signs of failure. These can include frequent circuit breaker trips, lights dimming when power usage increases, or circuits not tripping when they’re overloaded.
  • Your panel is more than 30 years old. An older panel may be a safety hazard even if you don’t know it. Most or only designed to last a few decades, and it’s not worth the risk to keep your old panel just to save a bit of money.
  • You want to install new devices or appliances and need more power. A breaker box in an older home may only be rated to handle as little as 30 amps. That’s not nearly enough power to allow you to run air conditioning, home theaters, and other modern comforts.

If you’re not sure if any of these reasons apply to you, it’s a good idea to get an electrician into your home to examine the situation. The sooner you make upgrades to your panel or replace it altogether, the sooner you’ll avoid the dangers of having obsolete equipment.

The Dangers of Not Upgrading

It’s easy to forget how powerful electricity is. When the current that comes into your home isn’t handled properly, it can cause shock, electrocution, and even a fire. The cost to upgrade your electrical panel is worth your safety. With a modern circuit breaker panel in place, you can have peace of mind using all your high-tech and high-power devices and appliances.
