Electrical Panel Upgrade is essential when there is a need for more circuits, higher amperage, or better safety features due to older equipment or modern electrical loads (like appliances, HVAC systems, or electric vehicles).
At Chronicle Electric, we specialize in electrical panel upgrades to ensure your home or business is equipped to handle modern electrical demands safely and efficiently. Upgrading your electrical panel is essential for maintaining system reliability, accommodating new electrical appliances, and ensuring compliance with current safety standards.
Upgrading your electrical panel provides several key benefits:
Key components of an electrical panel upgrade:
Increased Capacity: The upgrade typically involves increasing the amperage of the panel, often from 100-150 amps to 200 amps or more, which allows the system to handle additional electrical loads.
Enhanced Safety: Newer electrical panels come with advanced safety features, such as surge protection and arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs), which protect against electrical fires and other hazards.
Code Compliance: Upgrading ensures that the electrical panel meets current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, providing a safer and more reliable electrical system.
Support for Modern Appliances: Newer electrical systems can accommodate modern appliances, home automation, and electric vehicles, which require more power than older systems were designed for.
Improved Efficiency: An upgraded panel helps prevent overloading of circuits, which can result in power outages or damage to electrical equipment, providing greater overall efficiency and reliability in the power supply.
