Is it worth upgrading an electrical panel?

Yes, updating an electrical panel is usually a worthwhile pursuit. Modern panels fulfill current requirements and eliminate fire dangers, which contributes to greater safety. Enhanced capacity meets rising energy needs, avoiding tripped breakers. Upgrading facilitates the installation of new appliances and technology. Additionally, smart panels provide remote monitoring and control. While the initial cost varies, the long-term benefits of increased safety, convenience, and energy economy make replacing an electrical panel a worthwhile investment for many households.

How much should an electrical panel upgrade cost?

The capacity of the panel, local labor costs, and installation difficulty are some of the components that affect the cost of an electrical panel upgrade. It can often range from $1,500 to $3,000. Larger homes or major renovations, however, can cost more than $5,000. Getting quotations from certified electricians who can evaluate your unique demands is essential. The cost of upgrading an electrical panel can be justified in the long run due to its greater safety and energy efficiency, even though the initial cost varies.

What are some signs I need an electrical panel upgrade?

Signs that an electrical panel needs to be upgraded include frequently tripped circuit breakers, flickering lights, and antiquated panels with inadequate capacity for modern electrical needs. The presence of a fuse box instead of a circuit breaker is also a big indication that you need an upgrade. Also, overuse of extension cords and power strips due to a lack of outlets is a sign that your home electrical system could use an update. If you intend to install new appliances or build a home addition, replacing the panel may be required as well. If you have this situation or see any of these symptoms, contact a certified electrician to evaluate and handle your electrical system's needs.

Your current panel uses fuses. Homes built before the 1960s were typically equipped with fuse boxes that weren't cut out to power modern electrical demands. These "fuse boxes" are potential fire hazards and should be replaced with an updated electrical panel as soon as possible.
Your current electrical system has had multiple or frequent repairs. Electrical systems degrade over time. It's just an inevitability. However, the power coming into your home is focused solely in a specific area called the electrical panel. When components within your breaker box begin to deteriorate... It's time to consider replacing the breaker box.
You plan on installing new appliances. New dedicated electrical lines for pools, hot tubs, or garage HVAC systems can significantly increase your electrical panel's demand. New additions to your electrical demand, especially major appliances, may require more effort than your current panel can provide.
You experience electrical issues throughout your home. If ceiling fans and lights don't work as they should, outlets are unreliable, or you notice strange burning smells or circuit breakers keep tripping, there may be a bigger issue.

When Does Your Electrical Panel Need To Be Repaired?

If your panel is maintained correctly, you can expect it to deliver reliable power throughout your home for upwards of 25 years. Still, daily use and other factors, such as weather, can lead to issues that prevent the unit from functioning the way it should. When working with electricity, you should always call in a professional to ensure the safety of you and your home. Calling an electrician for routine maintenance and inspection can prevent minor problems from becoming big headaches. During an electrical panel inspection, your system will be thoroughly checked for signs of damage that may present a hazard.
