As technology advances and our dependency on electricity grows, older electrical panels struggle to meet the power demands of modern homes.
Many houses still have electrical panels that are 20-50 years old, which can potentially lead to electrical issues and safety hazards.
Updating your electrical panels and circuit breakers to accommodate your power needs is simple with CoreTrade Electric. We provide electrical panel repair and upgrades as well as circuit breaker replacements installation for homeowners.
Our Process for Circuit Breaker Panel Installation and Repair
Circuit breaker panel installation and repair are critical services that ensure the safe and efficient distribution of electricity in your home.
The circuit breaker panel is the central hub for all electrical circuits in a building, protecting the electrical system from overloads and short circuits. During installation, we will carefully assess your home’s electrical needs and determine the appropriate size and type of panel. Then, we install, connect, and label the circuits, ensuring compliance with electrical codes and regulations.
In cases where your electrical panel malfunctions, we diagnose and repair the issue promptly, restoring the safe operation of the electrical system. Prompt repair of breakers and panels eliminates the risk of electrical hazards such as electric shocks, fires, and appliance damage.
Whether installing a new circuit breaker panel or repairing an existing one, CoreTrade Electronics helps you maintain the integrity and safety of the electrical system on your property.
When Do You Need to Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?
If you have a newer home, you may not need to upgrade your electrical panel unless you’re adding an EV charging station, a new stove, hot tub, or addition to your home. However, if you have an older home, these panels may need to be upgraded to handle modern power demands, even if you’re not adding any new appliances.
Older electrical panels were typically designed to handle lower power loads compared to what we utilize today. With the increasing number of devices, appliances, EV’s, and smart home technologies in modern households, there is a need for a capacity upgrade to accommodate these power demands.
Upgrading your electrical panel will ensure your home has an adequate power supply without overloading the system, preventing potential electrical hazards and tripping breakers.
You may need to update your electrical panel or circuit breaker if:
- It’s been 20 years since the panel has been replaced
- Your circuit breaker keeps tripping
- Your electrical panel is warm to the touch or has an unusual smell
- Lights flicker or dim randomly
If you notice any of these signs, don’t ignore them. Contact CoreTrade Electric to have a professional evaluate your electrical panel and circuit breaker to see if updates or replacements are needed.
