Should I Update My Electric Panel?

If you live in an older home, you may want to consider upgrading your electric panel. Whilst there is nothing wrong with the electrics in most older homes there are some benefits to upgrading your panel.

Older electric systems were not designed for today’s modern appliances. Older home electrics still send the right amount of power to appliances, but they were not designed to cope with the number of electrical gadgets that we use today. Upgrading your panel gives you the chance to install extra circuits, which means that you can have a plug for each gadget.

Having a panel installed that will allow you to add more fuses and breakers is a good idea. It will future proof the panel allowing you to use it for at least a couple of decades.

The quality and spec of the parts used in today’s panels are far superior to those of yesteryear.

If you are experiencing a lot of trip outs and your light bulbs blow out quickly you should definitely consider replacing your electrical panel. You should also do so if you are planning to buy a large appliance such as a heat pump. If your lights flicker when you turn on powerful items it is also probably time to replace your electrical panel.
