Electrical Installations & Upgrades
Electrical Panel Installation and Upgrades
Electrical installations and upgrades can transform your home or business to a more energy-efficient and safer environment. Whether it's a panel installation or upgrade, a surge protection installation, or are ready to add solar panels, Get Volts® is ready to help.
Your electrical panel regulates the electricity powering your home or business. If too much electricity is demanded on a circuit, a circuit breaker is tripped in the electrical panel to stop the electricity from overloading the wiring. An overload can cause a fire, so it's the job of the electrical panel to break the circuit and regulate the electricity in the system to keep your home or business safe.
Signs You May Need an Upgraded Electrical Panel
- Your panel is more than 25 years old
- You see corrosion and rust on circuit breakers
- You hear crackling sounds from the electrical panel
- Your breakers keep popping off
- Your appliances are running at less than full power
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Electric Panel
If you have an FPE panel, you need to replace it immediately. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission classified this panel as a safety defect warranting a new electrical panel. These panels, installed in homes between 1950 and 1980, have design and manufacturing defects that can cause fires and electric shocks.
