TYPES OF ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS

BENEFITS OF AN ELECTRICAL PANEL UPGRADE

An electrical panel upgrade is an improvement to the heart of your home’s electrical system. The panel acts like a central control unit, distributing electricity throughout your house. Upgrading it involves replacing the existing panel with a newer, more capable one.

Here are some of the advantages of upgrading your electrical panel:

  • Increased capacity: Upgrading gives you more amperage, allowing you to run multiple devices safely.
  • Improved safety: New panels often have advanced safety features, such as arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs), that can help prevent electrical fires.
  • Modernization: Outdated panels may use fuses instead of circuit breakers, which are less reliable and offer less functionality. Upgrading brings your home up to current standards.

TIPS TO IMPROVE HOME ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Home electrical safety is important for preventing emergencies and issues like fires, shocks, and other hazards.

By following some of these tips and best practices, you can significantly reduce the risks associated with your electrical system:

  • Replace outdated or damaged electrical cords, outlets, and switches
  • Never overload electrical outlets or circuits with too many devices
  • Avoid running cords under carpets
  • Keep your electrical panels and junction boxes free from obstructions and clutter
  • Use GFCI outlets in areas with moisture, like bathrooms or kitchens
