6 Common Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
Your electrical panel is the central hub of your home's electrical system and is responsible for distributing power to various circuits. Over time, as your electrical needs increase, your panel may struggle to keep up with demand. Monitoring your system’s performance and being aware of warning signs is the key to maintaining a safe and efficient panel.
It may be time to consider an upgrade if you notice any of the following signs:
- Frequent circuit breaker trips: This could indicate that your panel is overloaded and unable to handle the power demands of your home.
- Outdated system: Electrical panels typically last 25 to 40 years, but older panels are prone to malfunction and may not meet current safety standards.
- Added appliances: If you've recently added new appliances, are undergoing a home renovation, or are installing an electric vehicle (EV) charger, your existing panel may no longer provide enough power to meet these increased demands.
- Dimming or flickering lights: If your indoor or outdoor lights dim or flicker when you turn on appliances or use multiple devices at once, it could be a sign that your panel is struggling to provide enough power to the circuits.
- Burning or discoloration: A burning smell, scorch marks, or discoloration around your electrical panel or outlets is a serious red flag. This indicates potential overheating or a wiring issue, which could lead to electrical fires if not addressed immediately.
- High electrical bills: An inefficient or overburdened electrical panel can cause electrical surges, which can result in higher-than-normal energy consumption.
