One home improvement project that often flies under the radar is an electrical panel upgrade in Sioux Falls, SD.
As we add more electronic gadgets and smart appliances to automate our homes, our demand for electricity can outgrow the existing panel’s capacity.
An outdated panel can be inconvenient when the breakers trip, and worse, it can be hazardous. If you’re in an older home, you’ll want to be on the lookout for signs that it’s time for an electrical panel replacement. Contact our professional electricians today to set up an appointment or to get a free estimate.
"Waterbury was great to work with, everyone was very friendly and profession. They arrived as scheduled, did the work on time and without incident. Shiloh was very professional, did great work and was done when promised. He stayed and made sure all our questions about the new system were answered. Very good experience."
Your electrical panel is a significant safety feature in your home. It will cut the power when it detects an unsafe current. This is most often the result of an overloaded circuit. That means a circuit is trying to draw more energy than it can safely handle.
This can happen if you have more than one appliance plugged into a single circuit or if you have overloaded an outlet through power strips and extension cords. Breakers can also trip if you have a short circuit or a ground fault surge.
In some cases, you may be able to install additional outlets or re-arrange where you plug in the appliances. But the safer solution is to look into an electrical panel upgrade. During an upgrade, our electricians can install additional circuits in your home’s electrical system.
If your panel is newer, we might be able to simply add these circuits to your existing panel. However, if you have an older panel, the best option may be a complete breaker box replacement. A new electrical panel can also save energy.
Here are signs that it might be time for a breaker box replacement:
Flickering lights
Frequently tripped breakers
Buzzing sound from panel
Panel warm to the touch
Burning smell near panel
Another electrical panel upgrade to consider is whole-home surge protection. We install these at or near the breaker panel. Small power spikes are common, and over time, these can degrade sensitive electronic components.
A whole-home surge protector stops the spike before it gets to your home’s electric system. You can get rid of the clutter of power strips and enjoy greater protection.
If you’re looking at selling your home in the near or not-so-near future, an electrical panel replacement could be a sound investment. It can provide an excellent return on investment, and buyers will appreciate knowing the electrical system is safe.
