Electrical Panel And Service Meter Updates

There are several reasons why you should get your electrical panel and service meter updated.

  • Your electrical panel may be outdated. Electrical panels are typically designed to last for 25 to 40 years. If your home is older than this, it is likely that your electrical panel is outdated and may not be able to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Your electrical panel may not have enough capacity. If you have added new appliances or electronics to your home, your electrical panel may not have enough capacity to handle the additional load. This can lead to overloading, which can cause electrical fires.

  • Your electrical panel may be a fire hazard. Older electrical panels may be made of materials that are more flammable than newer panels. Additionally, older panels may not have the same safety features as newer panels, such as ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs). These features can help to prevent electrical fires.

  • Your electrical panel may not be up to code. Electrical codes are constantly changing. If your electrical panel is not up to code, it may not be safe or compliant with the law.
