Comprehensive Guide to Panel Upgrades and Repair

Understanding the Importance of Panel Upgrades and Repair

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. It manages the flow of electricity from the utility company into your home and distributes power to different areas of your residence. Over time, outdated electrical panels can become overloaded and pose safety hazards, including increased risk of electrical fires.

Why You Might Need a Panel Upgrade

  • Increased Power Demand: Modern households use more appliances and electrical devices than ever before. If you're planning on adding heavy duty appliances, or your existing panel does not support your increased energy demands, an upgrade is necessary.
  • Safety Concerns: Older panels can have worn-out components which might not meet modern safety standards. Upgrading can prevent overheating or electrical malfunctions.
  • Home Renovations: Updating your home may require additional power capacity. A panel upgrade can support the added load.

Signs That Repairs or Upgrades Are Needed

  • Frequent circuit breaker trips
  • Flickering or dimming lights
  • Strange noises (like crackling sounds) coming from the panel
  • Corrosion or rust on the panel
  • Overheating of electrical components

Our clients love us

Here's some of what they had to say

Grateful to have found Bene Electric. I appreciate the thorough quote and explanation of work to be done. Bene Electric has added electrical outlets to my garage, hardwired an electric water heater and is scheduled to return to troubleshoot my hot tub electrical problems. I highly recommend.

M C.

Cole was great. Called Thursday afternoon and after describing the problem he was able to squeezed me in and come Friday morning. He after talking to the tenant determine that he was super charging his Tesla and the mode was too high for his Tesla model. The super charging was only meant to be used occasional not everyday. This put to much stress on the main breaker causing them to fail . He also said for this model that when you are pulling 50 amps that it shortens the life of the battery and may cause a battery fire. Anyway I was very pleased that he was so knowledgeable and quick to respond.
