At Pakenham Electrician, we offer professional Electrical Panel Upgrades to ensure your home’s electrical system can handle your current and future energy needs. Whether renovating, adding new appliances, or experiencing frequent electrical issues, upgrading your electrical panel is essential for your home’s power system’s safety, efficiency, and reliability.

Here’s how we can help:

1. Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?

Your home’s electrical panel is the central hub that distributes power to all areas of your house. If your panel is outdated, overloaded, or malfunctioning, it can lead to various problems, including power outages, flickering lights, or even electrical fires. An electrical panel upgrade ensures your home’s system can handle modern electrical demands safely and efficiently.

  • Replacing old or outdated panels that can no longer support your energy usage
  • Addressing frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or power outages
  • Ensuring your electrical system can handle the load of modern appliances and electronics
  • Reducing the risk of electrical fires caused by overloaded or faulty panels

2. Boosting Your Home’s Power Capacity

If you’ve added new appliances, an electric vehicle (EV) charger, or expand your home, your existing electrical panel may no longer be able to supply enough power. Upgrading your panel increases its capacity, allowing you to safely run all your devices and systems without overloading the circuits.

  • Increasing the electrical capacity to accommodate high-demand appliances such as air conditioners, EV chargers, and hot tubs
  • Adding additional circuits to distribute power more evenly throughout your home
  • Preparing your home for future upgrades, such as solar panels or home automation systems
  • Avoiding the inconvenience and safety risks of overloaded circuits and frequent breaker trips

3. Improving Safety and Code Compliance

Outdated electrical panels, especially those in older homes, may not meet current safety standards. Some older panels, such as fuse boxes or certain brands like Federal Pacific or Sinsco, are known to have safety issues that can lead to electrical fires. Upgrading your electrical panel ensures your home is up to code and reduces the risk of electrical hazards.

  • Replacing outdated or dangerous panels with modern, safer options
  • Ensuring compliance with local and national electrical safety codes
  • Installing circuit breakers with advanced safety features like arc-fault protection and ground-fault protection
  • Protecting your home from electrical fires caused by outdated or faulty panels

4. Preparing Your Home for the Future

As technology advances, more homes are incorporating smart home devices, energy-efficient appliances, and renewable energy sources like solar power. Upgrading your electrical panel ensures your home is ready for future electrical demands and innovations.

  • Preparing for smart home automation systems and high-tech appliances
  • Integrating renewable energy sources such as solar panels
  • Installing panels that support electric vehicle (EV) charging stations
  • Ensuring long-term energy efficiency and reducing electricity costs over time

5. Seamless and Professional Installation

Upgrading an electrical panel requires expert knowledge and careful installation to ensure safety and optimal performance. Our licensed electricians handle every aspect of the panel upgrade process, from assessing your current system to safely installing the new panel. We also provide detailed inspections to ensure everything works properly and meets all electrical codes.

  • Assessing your current electrical panel and home energy needs
  • Upgrading to a new, modern electrical panel with a higher capacity
  • Ensuring proper installation, grounding, and wiring for safe operation
  • Testing the system to ensure it operates efficiently and meets all safety standards
