When it comes to electrical panel upgrades, the primary reason is often a capacity issue. An electrical panel, on average, has a lifespan of 20 to 40 years. But that doesn’t mean you should keep yours that long. For example, if you remodel your home or single room, you could require additional circuit breaker space your panel lacks. Or, your panel could grow unreliable, leading to frequent breaker trips.
Many older buildings struggle to meet the electrical demands of the modern era because of outdated electrical. Using multiple electronic devices, EV chargers, and new appliances can overwhelm old panels. Upgrading your electrical by installing a new panel to accommodate the change. You may also need an upgrade if you’re considering installing a whole-home generator. They require a transfer switch that takes up space in your panel.
There are many signs that show the need for a new panel:
Dimming or flickering lights
Panel hot to the touch
Unusual noises from panel
Visible rust or other corrosion
Difficulty finding compatible breakers
Scorching or burn marks
Electrical panel upgrades also offer increased safety. Newer panels feature superior alloys that conduct electricity more efficiently.
