Northern VA Heavy Ups & Electrical Panel Upgrades or Replacement
Four reasons to upgrade your electrical panel include:
- It’s over 25 years old
- It is unsafe
- You have a fuse box
- It’s not big enough for your electrical demand
When Your Northern VA Home May Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade or Heavy Up
- You have just added new high-powered appliances: Whether you installed a new stove or a new hot tub, you should consult a John Goudie Electric professional about a heavy up electrical panel upgrade. After these new home additions, your electrical panel can usually no longer provide the minimum amount of electricity that your home needs daily.
- Your lights flicker: You may need an electrical panel upgrade or heavy up if your breaker trips for no apparent reason or if your lights flicker when you turn on certain appliances. A heavy up will increase the amount of amperage in your home and also give you additional space in your panel to add more circuits.
- Your current panel is more than 20 years old: If your current electrical panel is more than 20 years old, you may want to look into having a heavy up. Overloading the electrical panel in your home is a big fire hazard, and it’s easier to overload older panels.
- You’re planning an expansion: If you’re planning a remodel or a renovation of your current home in Northern VA, you may need to add more amperage to cover additions. You have numerous options when it comes to heavy ups, and John Goudie Electric can help you decide how much extra power you’re going to need.
- You use a lot of power: Whether you really deck the halls during the holidays or love hosting outdoor parties with lots of lighting, if you use a lot of power in your home, it is worth it to contact the experts at John Goudie Electric to make sure your electrical panel isn’t in danger of being overloaded.
- Your circuit breakers frequently trip: This is a warning sign that your home might need an electrical upgrade.
