Are your circuit breakers tripping frequently? This is like your electrical system crying for help. It means your home's wiring can't keep up with your power needs.
There are multiple reasons why a service upgrade is needed.
The first would be that you may want to build a suite or build a shop to rent out and start earning more money. If that is the case, adding circuits to accommodate such things can become too much for your existing electrical panel.
Second, we would want to add more appliances like an electric vehicle charger, hot tub, pool, and sauna. These things draw a large amount of electricity and can become strenuous for your electrical service. Additionally, upgrading to a higher amp service may require a larger transformer to handle more electrical load.
At the same time, a service upgrade is necessary when signs of breakdown manifest in properties and buildings, especially from older homes or those with increasing power demands.
Do your lights flicker when you turn on appliances? It suggests your system is struggling to distribute power evenly.
We also look for outdated wiring during our inspections. Old wiring is like worn-out pipes – it can't handle modern flow demands. This can lead to inefficiency and safety risks.
Lastly, we check if you have enough power for new appliances. Adding a hot tub or electric car charger? Your current system might not have the juice to keep up.
If you spot these signs, give us a call. We’ll help your home’s electrical system grow with your needs.
