Do I need a main panel upgrade?

You may need a Main panel upgrade (MPU) because, your current panel may be outdated and/or for several other reasons. Some electrical panel manufactures such as Zinsco or Federal Pacific (FPE) are no longer UL listed and the authority having jurisdiction no longer approves these panels. Another reason you would need to upgrade your panel, would be they’re simply isn’t enough available power, to handle any extra loads being added to the electrical panel.

Main Panel Upgrades

A typical home’s main electrical panel sections off the home’s power supply to different circuits that can produce energy to appliances and any technological devices in any room throughout your home. Nowadays, home’s are requiring more electrical power because of home entertainment systems, computers, appliances, pool heaters, air conditioning, solar PV systems, and many more items that need electricity to operate.

Older type homes do not have the right amount of power output needed for the growing demand of adding more appliances that are used daily. This can cause the breakers to overheat. Does your power often go out as you plug in a device? If this happens, you may need to upgrade your home’s main electrical panel with a new panel. This includes services and installing new breakers, meters, wiring, and grounding systems.
