Updating electrical panels for secure and continual energy utilization

It has become necessary to opt for an upgrade of the electricity service, as it guarantees safe and regular energy utilization. It's about checking the electrical requirements of your home, getting approval from local authorities, installing a new grounding system, etc. If you choose to upgrade, you must consider changing the central panel of your home to support the additional power supply load.

Do I have to opt for an electrical service update?

The increase in electrical appliances is not the only reason to say YES to update the electrical service. There are many other reasons to make a decision:

• Are you thinking about using the basement as a rental unit?
• Are you considering a project that will add new apartments shortly?
• Do you replace a heat pump or buy a large fridge?
• Are the lights flashing?
• Are fuses often burned at home?
• Are the circuit breakers permanently activated?
• Does your insurance company ask you to consider updating?
• Do you need a GFCI in one of the rooms?

Preparedness is the key

Electricity has become one of the essential prerequisites for a pleasant life. By opting for an electrical service upgrade, you can take advantage of uninterrupted power consumption. Remember, however, that full preparation for success is required. How to prepare your home for the process:

• Get permission from local authorities and your community.
• It is not possible to purchase the power source for at least four hours. Therefore, charge all electrical devices such as cell phones, laptops, etc. in advance.
• Empty the fridge and freezer.
• A broken power supply can damage your electrical equipment. Do not forget to disconnect.
• Keep the region near the main panel free of any obstacles. Make sure the electrician has easy access to the water meter and water tank.
• The electrician needs an energy source for his work.
• Keep torches and candles handy.
