Electrical Services Panel Upgrades

 As we continue to grow increasingly dependent on electricity as technology advances, it is ever so more important that we keep up with the demand we are putting on our panels. We have to estimate what it will take to keep up, and how we can help create efficiency and integrate routine into our new way of living. The electrical is the most crucial aspect to this new dynamic.
 
What is the electrical Panel?
 
It is what allows us to connect all of the circuits in our home. There is typically a company providing the electricity; the panel breaks up the concentration of the electricity across different branches. This is a very dangerous area especially for young kids because touching it could potentially cause an electric shock. In areas of high temperature there is even chance of fire. The fuses and circuit breakers must be functioning properly at all times to ensure safety. The risk only increases as additional appliances are added to the home or office space.
 
When Should I get an electrical panel upgrade?
 
Its necessary to upgrade as demand increases. You want the panel that you have to be able to manage the increasing amounts of power being used. If you were to experience an electricity overload, you risk danger as well as losing the functioning of your appliances; in which case could cost more for the repair. There are specific circumstances in which getting a change is necessary. The following are just a few examples:

1. It is an outdated panel with worn down wiring
2. If the fuse blows up
3. If the circuit breakers seem to be building up residue
4. If the panel is too small (as we mentioned above)
5. If you notice other lights to dim as other appliances are being added or used

 
New Electrical Panel Installation in Vallejo, CA
 
It is important that you do not try to replace this panel yourself, as it requires a specialized expertise given the danger involved. Here in the Bay Area we recommend replacing it if you are living in a home that has been around longer than a quarter century. Upgrading your panel is something that can be done cheaply in comparison to some of the fatal accidents that have occurred all over the country from having trippy panels with young or elderly people around them. Once put in perspective you actually realize the hazard is not worth the few bucks it takes for such a long- term electrical investment.  The amps we use today exceed what most outdated panels were built for. Again, we are living in a different time heavily dependent on electricity working efficiently. More so, not having the necessary safety precautions in place could potentially make it more difficult to receive house insurance. This is something most home owners are unaware of or do not even think about.
