Why an Electrical Panel Upgrade is Essential

Your electrical panel is the central nervous system of your home's power supply. It distributes electricity safely to every circuit. An outdated or insufficient panel can be a serious safety hazard, leading to frequent power outages, flickering lights, and even electrical fires.

With a modern electrical panel, you get peace of mind and the capacity to support all of your modern appliances, from new ovens and hot tubs to essential EV charging stations in your LaSalle County home.

5 Signs Your Panel Needs an Upgrade:

  • Your home is over 20 years old and has never had a panel upgrade.

  • You hear buzzing or crackling sounds from the panel.

  • Your breakers trip frequently, especially when multiple appliances are on.
