Electrical Panel Upgrades In Western Mass

Rebuilding or repairing your circuit breakers can prevent uncalled for downtime and in many cases it may be more cost-effective than replacing your existing equipment. Our know-how ensures that we can perform top quality repairs, modifications, rebuilding and maintenance on most circuit breakers and larger frame molded case breakers of all brands and vintages.

In most cases however, an Electric Panel Upgrade is required. It is an upgrade from the existing electrical panel to a larger or newer service. With all the new appliances, and technical devices we now have in our Western Massachusetts homes,  an upgrade may be necessary. We find that older homes might not have sufficient power available to handle the increased demand. Therefore, a “service change” is required. This includes not only an upgrade in your electric panel. But an upgrade in your meter socket and wire size between the meter and panel.

Panel Upgrades

A Western Mass Panel Upgrade is usually required to alleviate a problem with the existing panel. Sometimes a breaker might overheat to the point that the buss bar in a panel gets burned. The conductors between the meter and panel may become loose and burn out the main lugs, especially common when aluminum conductors were used.

When you plugged in your new refrigerator, cranked up the air conditioner, or turned on the light to read this report, you probably didn’t give a lot of thought to the wires carrying the electricity.

Few people do. After all, your home’s electrical system is hidden in the walls. Western Mass homeowners generally know so little about electricity that they tend to take potential problems too lightly or overlook them altogether.
