ELECTRICAL PANEL UPGRADE and Installation Services

The electrical panel is the heart of the electrical system in your home. It is responsible for managing the flow of electricity to all your fixtures and appliances. The older your electrical panel is, the harder it will work to regulate the flow of electricity to the multitude of electrical devices in your home.

Top 6 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Electrical Panel

Homeowners in Charlotte should consider replacing their electrical panel if it’s old, damaged, or if there are any warnings of a problem. Here are our top six tell-tale signs you need to upgrade your electrical panel.

  1. Your Electrical Panel Is Over 25 Years Old

    Electrical panels have an average lifespan of 25-40 years. The older the electrical panel is, the less reliable they are. Electrical panels over 25 years old have a hard time keeping up with modern technology and can cause fires due to overheating. If you have an electrical panel that is 25 years old or older, you should contact the electricians at Horizon about your upgrade options.

  2. Burning Odors

    A burning smell in your home is never a good sign and creates immediate concern. If your electrical panel is emitting a strong burning scent, you need to call a technician right away. Waiting too long to perform an electrical panel upgrade can result in an electrical outage or a fire in your home. To prevent irreversible damage to your wiring, contact our team of electricians immediately if you notice a burning odor in your living space.

  3. Circuit Breakers Are Continuously Tripping

    Are your circuit breakers constantly tripping? A faulty electrical panel could be the culprit. Circuit breakers are designed to protect electrical panels from overloading, and if your circuit breaker isn’t working properly, or fails altogether, the results can be disastrous. If your circuit breakers are continuously tripping, then it’s time to get your electrical panel evaluated and upgraded by the expert electricians at Horizon.

  4. You Need Additional Outlets

    If you find yourself using multiple power strips around your home due to a lack of outlets, or non-operable outlets, this is a sign your electrical panel may not be regulating electrical flow properly. Hiring a professional to conduct an electrical panel installation or upgrade will allow you to configure additional circuits that will connect to your new power outlets to achieve optimum electrical flow.

  5. Added a New Large Appliance

    Did you just install a new refrigerator or dishwasher? A large appliance with a higher electrical draw than the previous appliance can result in the need for an electrical panel upgrade. The best solution to this problem is to replace the old panel with a new one by contacting the expert technicians at Horizon. This also ensures safety for you, your family, and your appliances.

  6. Has Fuses and Not Circuit Breakers

    If you have an older electrical panel, chances are it’s using fuses. Fuse-based electrical panels have much less room to accommodate the needs of modern technology—so to keep your home’s electricity running safely and smoothly, it’s smart to upgrade your electrical panel with a circuit breaker. Get in touch with the Horizon professionals to talk about your upgrade options.
