signs you may need a panel upgrade

Your electrical panel is responsible for distributing power throughout the home, and over time it may struggle to keep up with modern electrical demands. Signs it may be time for an upgrade include:

Frequent breaker trips
A panel that is overloaded or completely full
Flickering or dimming lights
Burning smells near the panel
Hissing or buzzing sounds coming from the panel
Panels over 25 to 40 years old
100-, 200-, 400- Amp

Different homes require different levels of electrical capacity depending on size, appliances, and overall power usage.

Common in older homes with lower electrical demand.
100 amp
The standard for many modern homes with updated appliances, HVAC systems, and additional electrical needs.
200 amp
Designed for larger homes, detached buildings, workshops, or properties with significant electrical demand.
400 amp
common reasons homeowners upgrade

Many homeowners upgrade their panel when adding onto the home, finishing a basement, remodeling, installing new appliances, adding a hot tub, EV charger, or generator, or simply preparing the home for future electrical needs.
