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 Over time, outdated electrical panels can become overloaded and pose safety hazards, including increased risk of electrical fires.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

The difference we've made for them

Cole Bene is a really great electrician! He is an expert electrician and does great work. I give him the highest rating possible. He is also a very nice guy. He can do any job needed to be done with many years of experience. I cannot emphasize enough how good he is.

Sanford C.

We called to make an appointment and he was able to give instructions over the phone that helped resolve the problem without needing someone to come out. He asked basic questions and said that since we had already done some things to resolve the issue that he would walk us through a couple of more things first before making an appointment. Within 5-10 minutes the issue was resolved. Great resource and very helpful, trustworthy and honest.

I needed an electrician to inspect my home electrical panel, to ensure that it was up to code for the home sale. Cole was professional and detailed in his inspection and explanation of the wires and circuit breakers in the 300 amp panel. My first time using him, but I will use him again at the new house to install a transfer switch to power the house by a home generator!

Bene Electric is excellent. They will be our forever electricians. Right from the initial contact, job definitions, proposal through the completion of the work and cleanup they were beyond expectation. We had several unexpected opportunities (problems) which they worked through with us to the satisfaction of both parties. We have already started on our next major project with them.

Once in a great while, you get to meet a very special person that is equally gifted technically. After spending about a half day with fighting with PG&E because my towel warmer ceased to work after a power outage, I decided to browse the internet and found Bene Electric. Their reviews seemed pretty good so I called and immediately felt like I was speaking with someone that cared and genuinely wanted to help when Cole answered the phone. He was professional, polite and knowledgeable. Once I described the problem, he concluded on the phone that, most likely, it was the controller and instructed me on how to test it in an effort to save the cost of a service call. Well, I really didn't feel comfortable testing 100 volt equipment so he offered to come by the house. It took him just a few minutes to confirm what he initially diagnosed...it was the controller. He bypassed the controller and got the towel warmer working manually while I look for a supplier that sells the controller. The price was very reasonable and he offered to come back once I find the controller and just continue with the original service call. I was blown away by his kindness, his professionalism, and his honesty, not to mention great value. You will not be disappointed with this company...they are one of a kind.

George N.

Cole performed the electrical installation for our new spa, and we couldn't be happier. It was all very cleanly done, and he was very up front and clear about costs. He also explained every little change he was going to make at length. I would highly recommend him for your electrical needs.
