Signs You Need an Upgrade

Is Your Panel
Holding You Back?

⚠️
Breakers Trip Frequently
If your breakers trip when you run multiple appliances, your panel can't handle your home's electrical load.
⚠️
100-Amp Service
Homes with 100-amp service were built for a different era. Modern homes with HVAC, EV chargers, and smart appliances need 200 amps.
⚠️
Recalled Panel Brand
Zinsco and Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels are known fire hazards. If you have one, replacement is strongly recommended.
⚠️
Planning an EV or Addition
Adding an EV charger, hot tub, or home addition? A panel upgrade ensures you have the capacity to support it safely.
