Greater Palm Springs Expert Electrical Panel Upgrades

Outdated electrical panels in your home aren’t just inefficient; they can also pose significant safety risks. Many older homes still operate with panels that were installed decades ago, and these can struggle to handle the electrical load required by today’s high-powered devices and appliances. At Hegge Electrical Contractors, our skilled electricians are at the forefront of electrical panel upgrades. We specialize in modernizing your home’s electrical systems to keep your daily operations running smoothly and safely.

Our team in the Greater Palm Springs area offers comprehensive services tailored to meet the unique needs of your home. Whether you’re dealing with frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or simply need to support a smart home setup, upgrading your electrical panel can provide a reliable and sustained power supply. From selecting the right smart home electrical panel to integrating electrical panel surge protectors, Hegge Electrical Contractors has the expertise needed to enhance your home’s electrical infrastructure.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Home's Electrical Panels

If you’re experiencing constant repairs or lack of power, it might be time to consider an upgrade. It’s important to know when it’s time for improvement. Reasons to call Hegge Electrical Contractors for a new electrical panel include:

  • Your current panel has known safety issues: Manufacturers like Zinsco and Federal Pacific are associated with outdated technology and safety hazards. If your panel was made by one of these manufacturers, we recommend replacing it as soon as possible.
  • You live in an older home: Many of the electrical issues we associate with older homes, like flickering lights, are actually caused by out-of-date electrical panels. This is another safety hazard. Most electrical panels have a lifespan of 25-40 years – if your home is older than that, it likely needs a new panel.
  • Lights dim when you’re using appliances: If your lights dim or flicker when you use other appliances, you might be drawing too much power for that circuit. Hegge Electrical Contractors can inspect your panel and provide the solutions your home needs.
  • You’re remodeling: Remodeling or expanding your home may require additional power. A new electrical panel can provide peace of mind that you’re not overloading your circuits.
  • You’re considering an at-home EV charger: Installing an EV charger at home is a great choice for the convenience of at-home charging and to prevent you from waiting hours at a public station. However, an EV charger installation in your home may require a panel upgrade. Call Hegge Electrical Contractors today at 760-748-1028 so your car can charge safely and efficiently.
  • You blow fuses and trip circuit breakers often: When you repeatedly blow fuses or trip circuit breakers, it usually means that your electrical panel is overloaded and needs an upgrade. An overloaded panel is a fire hazard, so it’s important to get it replaced as soon as possible.
  • You don’t have enough outlets: If you find yourself using extension cords or plugging multiple appliances into one outlet, it’s a sign that you need more outlets in your home. While adding new outlets is an option, it’s often more cost-effective to upgrade to a new electrical panel that has a higher capacity.

By modernizing your electrical panel, you not only secure your home’s present needs but also invest in its future, creating a safe, efficient, and adaptable environment for all your electrical demands.

FAQs About Electrical Panel Upgrades

Upgrading your home’s electrical panels is more than just a technical improvement; it’s a comprehensive enhancement to your living space. The decision to upgrade introduces a multitude of benefits, crucial for today’s modern, connected homes. Here are the key advantages of choosing to upgrade:

  • EV charger compatibility
  • Increased safety
  • Enhanced power capacity
  • Future-proofing your home
  • Energy efficiency
  • Peace of mind
  • Value addition to your home

A surge protector safeguards your electronic devices from voltage spikes, which can cause damage or reduce the lifespan of your electronics. Considering the prevalence of electronics in a typical home, using surge protectors, especially for high-value items like computers and TVs, is generally a wise investment.

An electrical panel may be outdated if it’s over 25 years old or uses fuses instead of circuit breakers, or if you’re experiencing frequent circuit overloads. Panels by certain manufacturers, such as Federal Pacific or Zinsco, are known to be problematic and should be replaced.
