Many of the electrical problems that you may experience in your Riverside home, such as flickering lights, may be rooted in your electrical panel. Homes today are filled with time-saving appliances, modern conveniences, and devices that allow us to keep up with present-day to enjoy additional time with our family and friends. However, it is important to have an electrical panel that matches your family’s electrical usage. Not only will this make your home more convenient, but it can also help protect you from hazards.

What Is an Electrical Panel?

Your electrical panel is a metal box inside your home that contains breakers for all of the areas and appliances of your home. It is the command center of your home’s electrical power and it controls how much electricity is distributed to the various outlets in your home. Not every panel is identical; however, it is necessary to determine how much power your home needs to be able to operate effectively and safely.

Several decades ago, homes were only powering basic things such as lighting, refrigeration, and other small appliances where a 60 amp service was sufficient to power everything. As most homes have added televisions, computers, smart home technology, and countless smaller devices such as phones and security cameras, old electrical panels have simply become insufficient. Today, the average home needs between 100 and 200 amps of power to be able to effectively manage all of the electronic devices in the home.

Some homes in the Riverside area still have old fuse boxes. Homeowners with fuse boxes often run into problems with insurance, and they may have to replace fuses frequently. If you have a fuse box, or if your circuit breaker has less than 100 amps, give Safe and Sound Electric a call to find out more about upgrading your panel.

Do I Need an Upgrade?

One excellent reason to invest in a panel upgrade is if you are considering adding large appliances or any additions to your home. If you have purchased a new gaming system or a toaster, you probably do not need an upgrade. However, if you have just indulged in a new hot tub, purchased an electric vehicle, or have added on an extra bedroom, this may require budgeting for a panel upgrade.

You may also want to consider an upgrade if you have been experiencing frequent tripping of breakers or if you are having to use power strips at every outlet just to be able to plug in all of your appliances. With a panel upgrade, you will be able to add additional outlets to your home giving you much more access to your electricity, and making it easier for you to find an outlet for your devices. When considering an upgrade, you may also want to consider customizing your outlets to fit your lifestyle. Adding USB outlets eliminates the need for an adapter for your phone or tablet.

You may also want to consider upgrading your panel if you are trying to sell your home in the next couple of years, save money on your insurance, or to increase the value of your home. Whatever your reason may be, you can trust Safe and Sound Electric.

Repair, Replace, or Upgrade?

If your electrical panel has been causing problems in your home, you will be faced with the decision of whether to repair your panel, replace it with a similar panel, or upgrade your service. A repair or an electrical panel replacement may both be possible if your current panel has been meeting your home’s needs well. We are always ready to help you make the best decision.
