The panel box for your electrical system routes electricity throughout your home. It divides the main power that comes in from outside and disperses it into various electrical circuits. Having a panel box that’s appropriately sized to meet your specific needs is key to avoiding problems like circuit overloading.
It’s important to note that homes built before the 1980s typically only handle about 60 to 100 amps of power. To put this into perspective, modern homes typically have 200 amps of power. With our modern-day electronics and appliances, it’s typically necessary to have 200-amps to supply the power that we need. If you have an older panel box, it’s time to consider a panel upgrade to better meet your electrical demands.
You may also need to upgrade your breaker box if you plan to add certain high-amp appliances. Level 2 EV chargers require a significant amount of amps. An upgrade may also be necessary if you want to add a backup generator.
When you upgrade to a larger panel box, it can accommodate more electronics and home appliances. An upgraded panel also offers enhanced safety. Newer panels often come equipped with GFCI and AFCI circuit breakers, providing added protection for wet rooms and outdoor outlets. A new panel box will provide more consistent power across all your electrical circuits, ensuring energy-efficient operation from all your appliances.
A panel upgrade is also great for meeting current electrical code standards. This can also lower your homeowners’ insurance premiums and boost the value of your home. You can opt to integrate smart technology, like smart circuit breakers. This can provide you with more convenience in resetting your breakers and better monitoring of your energy usage. Another added safety feature is the 2020 requirement to include whole-home surge protection with new breaker panels.
From time to time, your panel box may need repairs. One of the most common calls is for frequently tripped circuit breakers. Whenever your circuit breakers are faulty, they can become more sensitive and trip under circumstances that they previously didn’t.
In other cases, frequent breaker tripping could be due to overloaded circuits. This often requires additional circuits to even out the load. Some other common issues include burned bus bars, corroded wiring, moisture damage, and electrical arcing.
