Is It Time to Upgrade Your Home's Electrical Panel? | Teems Electric

Whether it has been a while since your home’s electrical panel has been upgraded or signs of trouble have caused you to think the time has come to upgrade the electrical panel in your home, the team at Teems Electric is here to lend you a helping hand.

Did you notice over the holidays that you did not have as many electrical outlets as needed? Do you find your breaker going out more often than not? It might be time to make some much-needed electrical upgrades to your panel, but where do you start?

Let’s take a look at some signs that might be showing you that your home is in need of an electrical panel upgrade:

A Breaker That Constantly Trips

Even a breaker just going out here and there can be annoying. However, if your breaker is going out a lot, it could mean that you are overloading the electrical circuits inside your home. The circuit breaker is tripping in order to try and prevent a fire from occurring.

As a result, when you start seeing that your circuit breaker is tripping more often than not, it could be time to upgrade your home’s electrical panel.

A Breaker That Just Won’t Stay On

Even after your home’s circuit breaker trips, it should be easy for you to be able to turn it back on.

If even this task is causing problems, the best thing to do is probably to make an appointment with us to upgrade your panel, or to at least ensure another serious problem isn’t going on.

Your Electric Panel Actually Has a Fuse

If your electrical panel has a fuse included, it is probably time to just go ahead and upgrade your home’s electrical panel. While fuses were common in electrical panels back in the day, they are not part of today’s standard and are usually a tell-tale sign of how old your home’s electrical panel actually is.

When a fuse blows, it can actually be an extremely dangerous fire hazard. And, as each year passes, the chance of the fuse blowing increases.

Therefore, if you currently have an electrical panel in your home that has a fuse, it is time to give us a call for an electrical panel upgrade!
