Service Panel Upgrades

Americans are electrical power hungry. Today our air conditioning systems take more power than an entire home did 30 years ago. A kitchen, in a new Atlanta home, will usually be equipped with a number of receptacles capable of supplying more than 60 amps just to counter top appliances. Adding receptacles does not increase the available power if they are looped from other receptacles. To get more power to a location the circuit should run directly from the distribution panel.

An electric panel upgrade is just what it implies. It is an upgrade from the existing electrical panel. With all the new appliances, and technical devices we now have in our metro Atlanta homes, we find that older homes might not have sufficient power available to handle the increased demand. Therefore, a "service change" is required. This includes not only an upgrade in your electric panel. but an upgrade in your meter socket and wire size between the meter and panel.

Panel Change Outs

A panel change out is usually required to alleviate a problem with the existing panel. (1)Sometimes a breaker(s) might overheat to the point that the buss bar in a panel gets burned. (2)The conductors between the meter and panel may become loose and burn out the main lugs, especially common when aluminum conductors were used.
