Upgrading the electrical capacity of your home can help you power all of your devices without having to worry about tripping a breaker. One option is to add additional circuit breakers. However, if your circuit breaker box is full, it may be time upgrade the service coming into your home. A certified electrician in Grand Terrace can install a new panel with more power to make sure your home runs smoothly. Let’s look at what is involved in replacing your panel. - The power company will disconnect the power from outside your home. This will allow the electrician to safely upgrade your power, most likely to 200 amp service.
- The electrician will remove your old meter and panel to make room for the upgraded meter and panel. This will also disconnect all of the wiring from the breakers.
- The electrician will install the new panel and install new circuit breakers. This is also a great time to add additional wiring to lessen the load on your existing circuits, especially if you are also adding an addition to your home.
- The electrician will reconnect your existing wiring and any new wiring to your panel. He will also install a new larger cable coming into your home.
- Once the panel is reinstalled, the new meter that will be capable of handling the increased power will be installed.
- The final step will be to reconnect the service so that you have power again.
Upgrading your service to 200 amps is a great way to ensure that you have enough power to run all of your appliances and electronic devices. A certified electrician here in Grand Terrace can make the process go smoothly for you and minimize the impact on your life. One important thing to note is that this is one job you should never attempt on your own.
