Is It Time For an Electrical Panel Upgrade for Your Home?
Many older homes have electrical systems that have a smaller power capacity than what today’s more modern homes require. This makes for a system that doesn’t have enough electrical capacity to survive in today’s electronic and gadget based world. For this reason many people look to expand the capacity of their home’s electrical system through electric service and meter upgrades.
Most people today have modern appliances such as flat screen TV’s, hair dryers, microwaves, dishwashers, washers, dryers, space heaters, air conditioners and other types of appliances that require more voltage than what most older homes in Temecula have available. Increasing the amount of power that comes into your home is the first and most important step to modernizing your homes electrical system. Once you have more power coming to your house, then you can add new circuits to distribute that power to your appliances.
Some of the signs you may need to upgrade your electrical service are:
- You frequently blow fuses or circuit breakers when you use too many appliances like vacuum cleaners, microwaves or space heaters
- The lights dim when you turn on an appliance
- You don’t have enough electrical receptacles for the number of appliances you use.
- You may have many extension cords and adapters to fit more plugs
Think about the new appliances that have become widely available over the last 40 years or so. Vacuum cleaners, space heaters, air conditioners, microwaves, curling irons, hair dryers, big screen televisions, spas, computers etc. Many of these appliances draw significant amounts of electrical power. Some older homes in Temecula only have 60-100 amps of power available in theirelectrical panel. A typical space heater or microwave can draw 15-20 amps alone. Then you have the lights, fridge, microwave, etc. Now you can see why it may be necessary to upgrade your homeselectrical systemand get a meter upgrade.
The average lifespan of an electrical panel is 25-40 years. There are a number of brands of electrical panels such as Zinsco and Federal Pacific that have considerable safety issues and should usually be replaced. To learn more about older panels go to:http://www.IsMyPanelSafe.com
