When Should You Upgrade Your Home’s Electrical System?

If you can’t remember the last time your home’s panel or wiring were inspected, it may be a good idea to have a licensed electrician take a look. Our experts can tell you how old your wiring, fuse box or circuit breaker and fixtures are, how well they’re working and whether they pose any risks to your family. If you’re not getting the power you need to keep your family’s devices charged, we can offer solutions. 

10 Signs It’s Time for Electrical Upgrades to Your Home:

  1. Tingling sensations when you touch any outlet
  2. Your lights frequently flicker or dim
  3. Your circuit breakers trip regularly
  4. Your home still operates on fuses vs breakers
  5. Outlets or appliances produce a burning smell
  6. Outlets spark, melt, overheat, warp or look discolored
  7. Your kitchen or bathroom lacks resettable GFCI outlets
  8. You rely on power strips for outlets
  9. You’re planning a remodel or expansion
  10.  You need additional power for new appliances

The Benefits of Electrical System Upgrades

Replacing your home’s wiring or installing an electrical panel upgrade is a smart investment that improves the safety and the value of your home. It could help with:

  • Energy efficiency: Upgraded, contemporary electrical systems are far more energy-efficient than their outdated analogs. You’ll get more reliable, safe electricity and pay less for it.
  • Capacity: Decades ago, the average home needed about 60 amps of electricity to cover all of its needs. Today, however, the average home requires around 100 to 150 amps. If you’re still relying on a 60 amp system, you likely notice the potentially-dangerous signs that it’s being overloaded. 
  • Convenience: An outdated electrical system often means that you need more outlets than you have. If the outlets you do have lack the right number of prongs, or they aren’t GFCI outlets, we can upgrade them as well as install additional outlets.
  • Applications: While adding electrical upgrades to your home, you can easily install new systems onto it. Expand your coverage to your unfinished basement, garage, outdoor patio and more.
  • Resale value: Replacing outdated, potentially faulty electrical wiring with a reliable modern alternative is a great way to raise the resale value of your home.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Electrical Upgrade Questions

What is an electrical panel upgrade and why would my home need one?

Upgrading your electrical panel means replacing the box that houses your circuit breakers, the breakers themselves and the wiring that connects everything. If you experience flickering lights, frequent circuit trips and warm fixtures, you could benefit from an upgrade.

If your home’s panel is more than 25 years old, it’s probably time to have it assessed and possibly updated. By keeping your electrical system up to date, you keep your family safe and your electrical needs met.

Panel replacements can typically be done in a day but could take up to eight hours. It’s important to note that your home will be without power during this time. Make sure that you plan ahead.

Adding high-demand appliances like an air conditioner or a EV Charging Station often necessitate an electrical upgrade. If you haven’t had your system serviced in a while, this is the perfect time to have your panel inspected.

I received a free furnace inspection as part of my Gold Plan with Applewood, which included a free filter. Curtis arrived on time, was both friendly and professional, and patiently answered all of my questions, including the one about the awesome flashlight he was using that will fit my needs perfectly! Curtis also proactively made sure that I had all my questions answered. Applewood continues to consistently get 5 stars from me!

We had new outlets installed in our bathrooms and new light fixtures installed in our bedrooms. The work was done quickly and without any issues.Jacob did an amazing job. He is so knowledgeable and professional. It’s obvious that he has been in this field for a long time because of how quickly he can solve electrical issues. This is the second time we’ve specifically asked for him. If we need work again, we will ask for him again.
