Should I Upgrade My Electrical Panel?

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  • Your current panel has known safety issues: Manufacturers like Zinsco and Federal Pacific are associated with outdated technology and safety hazards.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older home: Many of the electrical issues we associate with older homes, like flickering lights are actually caused by out-of-date electrical panels.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.

Commonly Asked Questions

What are the benefits of installing an at-home EV charger?

Installing an at-home EV charger provides convenience, shorter charging times compared to public stations, and ensures your electric vehicle charges safely and efficiently. However, it may require an electrical panel upgrade to handle the additional power load.
