You have circuits and fuses constantly "blowing out"
Your home is older and outdated electrical wiring is becoming a hazard
You added a major appliance, such as a hot tub or washing machine
Your home is older and not able to handle new technology – such as 3D Televisions
Your home's electric output is damaging electrical appliances, such as computers and cell phones
You have frequent "brown outs"
You would like to add additional living space to your home
Should I upgrade my electrical service?
There are two reasons a homeowner might upgrade: safety and increased capacity. An upgrade replaces the old service with a new, higher-amperage panel.
Older 60-amp services are inadequate for modern homes; 100-amp is the minimum, with 200-amp recommended for today's electrical demands.
A 20-amp breaker that doesn't trip at 27 amps is a serious hazard — heat buildup can break down wiring and lead to fire.
