Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s power system—but it’s often overlooked until something goes wrong. At Ark Electric, we help homeowners in Northfield, NH and surrounding areas assess and upgrade outdated panels to improve safety, performance, and resale value.
If your panel is over 25 years old, or your home has seen major renovations or increased power needs, it might be time for an upgrade.
1.
You Still Have a Fuse Box or a 100-Amp Panel
Older homes built before the 1980s often have fuse boxes or 100-amp panels that can’t keep up with today’s power demands. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel ensures enough capacity for modern appliances, electric vehicles, HVAC systems, and future additions.
2.
Breakers Keep Tripping or Fuses Blow Regularly
If you’re frequently resetting breakers or replacing fuses, your panel may be overloaded or deteriorating. These issues are more than inconvenient—they’re a safety risk and a sign your system can’t handle your home’s electrical load.
3.
You’ve Added New Appliances or an EV Charger
Upgrading your kitchen, installing a hot tub, or adding an electric vehicle charger? These all demand more power. A panel upgrade ensures your system can handle new circuits without overheating or causing breaker failures.
4.
Flickering Lights or Power Surges
Lights that dim when the microwave runs or random power surges throughout the house are warning signs of an overworked panel or faulty connections. Don’t ignore these signals—get a licensed electrician to assess the system.
5.
Your Panel Feels Warm or Smells Like Burning
If your panel is hot to the touch or smells like something is burning, shut off power immediately and call a professional. This could be caused by loose connections, corrosion, or an overloaded panel, all of which are serious fire hazards.
6.
You’re Selling or Remodeling Your Home
If you’re renovating or planning to sell, a panel upgrade can increase your home’s value and help it pass inspection. Buyers want safe, modern electrical systems—and so do insurance companies.
