If your home in Arvada, CO was built decades ago, it’s likely that the electrical wiring was installed before the advent of widespread use of power-hungry appliances and devices.
With families using multiple computers, enormous wide-screen TVs and other electricity eaters, it’s crucial that your abode’s electrical system can keep up with demand.
Perhaps you have been experiencing circuit breakers tripping frequently, indicating you are trying to use more electricity than your home can accommodate.
Or, you want to install a smart home system that lets you control everything automatically, from curtains opening in the morning and closing at night, to monitoring security cameras and activating lawn sprinklers. An upgraded electrical panel is usually needed before you can add smart home technology to the mix.
Upgrading Your Electrical Panel
Main reasons to upgrade your home’s electrical panel include:
- Circuit Breakers Keep Tripping
When you find yourself having to frequently reset your electric panel’s circuit breakers, it’s a major sign that it needs to be upgraded to handle your power demands. - You Want to Charge Your Electric Vehicle at Home
Are you about to purchase an EV? If you want to charge it quickly overnight, you’ll need to upgrade your electrical panel to deal with the bigger power load needed. - Installing a New HVAC System
To stay cool during the summer and nice and cozy when winter rolls around in Arvada, CO and the surrounding region, homeowners want to install a brand new heating, ventilation and cooling system. But your newer unit will require more power and most likely an electrical panel upgrade to accommodate the added flow of electricity. Contact us for details, if you’re getting ready for an HVAC upgrade, so we can ensure you have adequate power for the system. - It’s Time to Add a Hot Tub
You can’t plug a large hot tub system into a standard outlet. (Some smaller hot tubs function on 120 volts, but if you want to relax with a few fellow soakers, you will probably be getting a hot tub that needs to be wired for 220/240-volt service.) A licensed electrician from AKG Electrical will need to hard-wire the system to ensure sufficient power is delivered. - System Is Giving Off a Burning Smell Or Makes Buzzing Sounds
You should contact us immediately if your electrical panel is making weird buzzing noises or emits a smell like something is burning. These are indications that the panel needs an upgrade, for safety reasons.
