When to Upgrade Your Electrical Panel
It can be confusing when your electrical system stops working, and you’re unsure if a repair or upgrade will better serve your home. We’re here to help you make the right decision to meet your energy needs.
Here are a few signs you need to upgrade your electrical panel:
- It’s 25+ years old: The National Electric Code gets updated every three years to ensure safety. In 25 years, these standards have been updated eight times, meaning your system is outdated and can be unsafe.
- Lights dim when using appliances: If your aging circuits cannot handle the energy required for today’s devices, you may notice lights dim when you use high-energy appliances. An upgraded electrical panel helps distribute power without losing light.
- Not enough outlets: Many older homes are unprepared for the high technology used by today’s families, so they lack the necessary outlets. This can be managed with a new electrical panel that provides more circuits and outlets throughout your home.
- Warm to the touch components: Your panel or outlets should never be warm to the touch. Otherwise, you need immediate service. If this sign is paired with a burning smell, you may have damaged or exposed wires behind your wall that are arcing or creating sparks.

Electrical Subpanel Uses
You can also upgrade your electrical by using a subpanel. These are often used if you’ve recently expanded your home with a renovation or accessory dwelling unit. This is especially helpful in garages, sheds, or finished basements.
Benefits of subpanels include:
- Convenient
- Energy efficiency
- ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units)
When you’re completing a project in a workshop or accessory dwelling unit and a circuit trips, you don’t want to track through the house to reset the breaker. Resetting is much easier if your panel is close by, especially in areas that have high energy requirements. You save money by shortening the distance between wire runs with a subpanel instead of the main panel. This increases your home’s energy efficiency to lower monthly costs and decrease construction costs. If you’re considering adding an accessory dwelling unit to your property to rent, a subpanel allows you to charge your renter for the energy they’re using accurately.
