Unlock Your Home’s Potential With an Electrical Panel Upgrade

Your home’s electrical panel is the heart of its electrical system, ensuring safe and reliable distribution to all of your outlets, switches, and fixtures. However, it could be holding your home back if it’s particularly outdated or has a low capacity. Luckily, Lucas Heating and Air provides electrical panel upgrades to homes throughout the Salt Lake City area, ensuring each can achieve a reliable supply of electricity.

Replacing Outdated Electrical Panels

Electrical panels are reliable pieces of equipment that can function without issue for decades. Still, just because your panel still works doesn’t mean replacement isn’t a viable option. If your panel is more than 25 years old, then a completely new panel is likely your best choice.

That’s because your panel may not have been designed with modern electrical use in mind, causing frequent breaker trips. It may also lack modern safety advancements, such as arc-fault circuit interrupters. An upgraded replacement will address these issues and allow you to take advantage of modern smart panel capabilities.

Upgrading Your Home’s Electrical Capacity

Your home’s electrical panel was designed to allow for a certain amount of current that was enough when your home was built, but it might not be enough now. If you’re installing a new HVAC system, EV charger, or other high-capacity equipment, your panel may not be up to the task. Installing a new one will allow for the required capacity and any additional circuits, allowing you to plan and prepare for future projects without capacity concerns.
