Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?

Upgrading your electrical panel ensures your home can safely handle modern power demands. It improves reliability, reduces safety risks, and provides the capacity needed for new appliances, renovations, and future electrical upgrades.

Main Electrical Service Upgrade

When your home needs more power, upgrading the electrical panel alone may not be enough. A main electrical service upgrade increases the amount of power coming into your home from the utility company, allowing your new panel to operate safely and efficiently. At Holmes Electric LLC, we handle complete service upgrades—including meter bases, service entrance wiring, grounding, and coordination with the utility provider—so your home is fully prepared for modern electrical demands.

Signs Your Home Needs an Electrical Panel Upgrade

Your electrical panel plays a critical role in keeping your home safe and powered efficiently. Over time, increased electrical demand and aging equipment can cause panels to become overloaded or unsafe. If you notice any of the signs below, it may be time to consider an electrical panel upgrade.

Breakers that trip often may indicate an overloaded or failing panel.

Lights that dim when appliances turn on can signal insufficient electrical capacity.

Heat, buzzing sounds, or unusual smells are serious safety concerns that should be addressed immediately.

If your panel is full or requires double-tapped breakers, it may no longer meet your home’s needs.

Fuse boxes and older panels may not meet current safety standards.

Installing EV chargers, generators, HVAC upgrades, or home additions often requires increased electrical capacity.

When in Doubt, Get It Checked
