Electrical Service Upgrade

Electrical Service Upgrade

Is your electrical panel managing the electrical load your family produces, or are you frequently dealing with problems like flickering lights, blown fuses, or tripping breaker switches? If these recurring issues persist, consider investing in an electrical service upgrade. Wes Carver Electric can help!

What’s Included in Our Electrical Service Upgrades?

At Wes Carver we offer many services aimed at making your electrical system safer and more efficient. Some of our common upgrades include:

  • New electrical panels
  • New meter sockets
  • New power main
  • New main panel surge protection devices
  • Complete grounding systems
  • Connected circuit installation
  • New breakers for existing circuits

 

Your home has a main electrical panel inside that belongs to you, and an electrical meter outside that belongs to the utilities company. As a result, installations can be complex. Our electricians work with the existing hardware from your utilities company to avoid affecting that electrical meter. We also take care of all the required permits and inspections for your peace of mind.

Why You Need an Electrical Service Upgrade

An electrical upgrade may be necessary for several reasons, such as:

  • Substandard safety: Many older systems only have a few fuses or circuit breakers, leaving them with insufficient protection for the whole system.
  • Small electrical panels: Older electrical systems often carried lower loads than modern households require. As a result, the circuit panels are too small to carry all the circuits modern households require.
  • Insufficient power capacity: Some homes in the region still have 60-amp service, meaning their system can’t run high-demand systems like HVAC.

Electrical Issues We Can Address By Upgrading Your System

How do you know it’s time to invest in an electrical service upgrade? Here are some common issues we may be able to address by upgrading your system:

Flickering Lights

If you regularly experience flickering lights when you use certain electrical appliances, it could indicate that you’re exceeding your electrical panel’s load. An upgrade could increase your panel’s capacity and resolve the issue.

Frequent Tripping

Circuit breakers regularly tripping when you use high-power appliances like hair dryers is a sign that you’re overloading your circuits. By investing in an electrical service upgrade for your home, you can prevent future tripping and ensure your system is powerful enough to handle your daily electrical needs.

Recalled or Outdated Electrical Panels

Electrical service upgrades for older homes are important because often, they have recalled or outdated electrical panels. Zinsco Electric and Federal Pacific Electric panels pose potentially significant safety risks and should be replaced promptly.

Burning Smells or Discolored Outlets

Overloaded electrical systems may overheat and emit a burning odor. With sufficient overheating, the issue can spread, causing damage to outlets and switches.

Excessive Power Strips

If your house is full of power strips to accommodate all your appliances, you’re likely overloading your system. Investing in an electrical panel upgrade will boost your system’s power capacity — and we can tailor it to your needs.

What Is the Cost to Upgrade From a Fuse Box to a Circuit Breaker?

The cost to upgrade your electrical system depends on a variety of factors, including the panel size and complexity of the project. This choice is a long-term investment designed to maximize your home’s safety, functionality, and property value.

At Wes Carver Electric, we’re committed to transparency. We offer upfront pricing from the start so you can feel confident you’re getting the most out of your investment.
