Upgraded Panel Electrical Work by Chris O'Kane

Panel Upgrades

With today’s appliances and the increasing demand for electricity there is a huge amount of stress put on the home wiring.

Some of the older breakers are particularly dangerous because they won’t trip or shut off when they are supposed to.

Tell tale signs that your panel could be a hazard are:

• Flickering or dimming lights

• Loss of power

• Intermittent loss of power to outlets or lights

• Breakers tripping frequently

• Arcing buzzing or burning coming from the panel

• Appliances not running on full power

Older Home Updates

Many homes in the San Diego area are older homes built and wired long before all of today’s modern appliances came along. These houses weren’t designed or built with all these appliances in mind so as we add more and more modern technology to our homes we have to be sure that the original wiring is capable of handling this demand. If you have space in your panel it may be possible to add extra circuits but if your panel is full it maybe time to consider a new panel upgrade and possibly some new wiring.

Did you know that the 2011 Electrical Code states that the following appliances should have there own dedicated circuits.

• Dishwasher

• Microwave

• Refrigerator

• Electric Oven

• Kitchen countertop outlets (2)

• Heating and Air Conditioning units

• Jacuzzi Hot Tub Sauna

• Water Heater
