What Is a Commercial Heavy Up or Electrical Panel Upgrade?

A heavy up electrical panel upgrade increases electrical capacity usually needed when your commercial property in Clinton is remodeled, upgraded, or changed. Standard electrical panels can provide 100, 150, 200, 325, 400, 600, or 800 amps of power, allowing the potential for more circuits to be added. A commercial panel upgrade is also performed to replace outdated electric panel equipment. A heavy up electrical panel upgrade improves the safety and reliability of your electrical system, adds value to your business, and gives you peace of mind.

Does Your Clinton Business Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade?

Businesses have unique electrical needs, the most important of which is the need for more power. Many commercial properties use large electronics or machinery, and a standard electrical panel just can’t handle it—reach out to John Goudie Electric to schedule an electrical panel upgrade in Clinton. Warning signs your business needs a commercial electrical panel upgrade include:

• Your business’ electrical panel is more than 25 years old
• You frequently use multiple extension cords
• Your machinery or electronics don’t have dedicated circuits
• Your business needs a 240-volt circuit
• Your panel, outlets, or wiring is hot to the touch
• You hear crackling sounds in the outlet
• Your current panel is one of the following brands: Federal Pacific, Zinsco, ITE Pushmatic, or GTE/Sylvania (these brands are not available anymore because of safety issues)
• Your business uses a fuse box or split bus panel
• You have recently renovated or made additions
• Your power frequently goes out or your lights flicker

Benefits of a Commercial Heavy Up

We understand that your business is important—this is why we encourage you to protect your investment and upgrade your commercial property’s electrical equipment. Scheduling a heavy up in Clinton provides your business with:

• Greater electrical capacity – Most commercial properties in Maryland that are more than 20 years old operate using 100 amps of power. However, newer properties are being built with electrical equipment with the capacity of 200 amps to provide more electrical capacity than ever before! This means you can plug your computers, printers, cash registers, and other essential devices into the same circuit without damaging any of your electrical equipment in the process.
• More flexibility – You no longer have to worry about running the microwave at the same time as the office projector. Upgrading the electrical equipment in your commercial property in Clinton provides for greater flexibility within your office so you can increase productivity without fear of electrical shock or fire.
• Preparedness – A heavy up prepares your business for future additions that may require you to expand your entire electrical system or just add a few outlets.
• Greater safety – The electrical equipment in your property—wiring, outlets, etc.—is rarely taken care of properly, resulting in wires deteriorating and a greater chance of malfunctioning. By scheduling a heavy up, you can rest assured that your electrical equipment is not putting you, your employees, or customers at risk.
