Estimates vary depending on what the electrical contractor is willing to do. At Enhanced Electrical Services, our estimate includes:
The service is labor intensive as most boxes take 8-10 hours to install properly. Upgrading during a current renovation is ideal.
Safety, efficiency and growing electrical loads are the most common reasons our customers request an electrical panel upgrade. An air conditioner today uses more power than an entire home used 30 years ago. Modern technology requires power and more of it. Older homes were typically built with 100 amps while newer homes today have at least 200 amps. If you’re adding a hot tub, sauna or electric vehicle charger you may require more power than your existing electrical system can handle.
Amps refers to the electrical power an electrical panel can handle. Big screen TVs, surround sound systems, computers, microwaves, washers, dryers, refrigerators and an increase in high-tech gadgets can overwhelm your electrical system and be dangerous.
If you choose to put your home on the market, it may not pass inspection, and you’ll need to upgrade anyway. Why wait and put the safety of you, your family and your home at risk in the meantime?
