September 19, 2024 | 2:50 pm

If you’re unsure whether you need an electrical upgrade or not, consider the following factors:

  • Age: Older homes usually have outdated electrical systems that may not be equipped to handle modern appliances and electronics. Even if the panels are still in good condition, newer appliances and electronics may overload the system, leading to failures or deteriorated performance.
  • Physical damage: Electrical wiring that has corroded, frayed, deteriorated or has any other physical damage may require an upgrade. These wires can also present safety concerns.
  • Performance: A number of issues, from frequent circuit trips to overheating outlets, may contribute to the decreased performance of your electrical systems. An electrical upgrade may help prevent performance issues and potential failure.
