In today’s world, nearly everything we do and all that we use requires the use of electricity. With the advancements in technology, we see all sorts of new devices, appliances, electronics, and other gadgets introduced into our world every single day. With that said, it is important for homeowners to understand the impact an outdated electrical panel and an outdated electrical system can have on the safety of your home and family. That’s where Gervais Electric, Inc. comes in.
What Warrants an Electrical Panel Upgrade?
One obvious indicator that it is time to upgrade your home panel is the fact that the wiring in your home is very old and you are still using fuses. Homes with old wiring and fuses are more than likely experiencing frayed and corroded wires. This can be extremely dangerous and can also contribute to an increase in costs and energy bills.
When you choose to upgrade your electrical system, you are ensuring the overall safety of your home and family. An upgraded system will also help reduce energy costs, enhance energy efficiency and lower your monthly out of pocket energy bills.
Yet another indicator that it is time for an upgrade is that when turning on your washer, your electric heater or even the dishwasher you find yourself faced with a tripped circuit. When this occurs over and over again with the same devices, electronics or appliances, there is a chance that you may have an issue with the specific device. However, if you find that using these items separately and are being faced with tripped circuits or power outages then the chances are that you are drawing far more power than your existing electrical panel can handle. If such is the case, then again, relying on our team of experts is a surefire way of solving the problems at hand and ensuring the safety of your home and family. When providing you with a system upgrade all these problems will be eliminated since you will now have efficient power needed to operate all your home devices, appliances and electronics properly.
One final obvious indicator that you are in need of a panel upgrade is the presence of scorch marks or unpleasant, unfamiliar odors. If you notice either one, it is imperative that you schedule an appointment for an upgrade as soon as possible. An unpleasant burning odor usually presents with scorch marks on outlets or other lighting fixtures. If this is the case, it is best to turn off the power to your home since these odors and scorch marks are indicators that there is a short of some kind in your electrical wiring.
