White Plains Heavy Ups & Electrical Panel Upgrades or Replacements
The power we use today is a lot more than the power we use 20, 10, and even 5 years ago. An overloaded panel is a huge risk for electrical fires, and you shouldn’t risk it. John Goudie Electric has your family in mind, which is why we are committed to installing heavy-ups and panel replacements that can handle the power you use to live comfortably.
Four reasons to replace your electrical panel
- It’s over 25 years old
- It is unsafe
- You have a fuse box
- Your current panel is not big enough for your electrical demand
- You’ve recently installed more powerful appliances
- You’ve added on to your home
- You use a lot of power for outdoor lighting and outdoor electronics
- Your lights flicker or dim when you turn something on
- Any other reason you need more or safer power in your home
When You May Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade or Heavy Up in White Plains
- 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 White Plains, 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.
What Is a Heavy Up/Electric Panel Upgrade?
A heavy up electrical panel upgrade increases electrical capacity usually needed when service to your home or business 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 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 home or business, and gives you peace-of-mind.
