With the recent proliferation of electronics and appliances, it’s no surprise that many homes now require more electricity than ever before. If your electrical system isn’t up to the task, it may be time for power upgrades from One Source Heating, Cooling & Electrical.
Does Your Home Have Enough Power?
Once upon a time, the typical household service panel supplied just 60 amps of power. Most modern homes now feature 100- or 150-amp service, but even that isn’t always enough. From computers and televisions to HVAC systems and electric ranges, the power demands of today’s homes can be quite significant. An inadequate supply of power can cause reliability issues in your home, damage sensitive electronics, and potentially even pose safety risks. There are many reasons to consider power upgrades for your home, but it’s likely time to call a professional if:
- Your lights routinely dim or flicker
- You frequently deal with tripped circuit breakers
- Your service panel is more than 25 years old
Upgrading Your Electrical Service
At One Source Heating, Cooling & Electrical, we offer everything you need to power up your electrical system. First, we’ll discuss your energy usage and help you determine what makes sense for your home energy needs. We can also help you plan for future changes, such as home additions or remodeling projects and high-powered appliance installations.
Once you’ve decided on your home energy upgrades, our seasoned electricians will get to work. This usually means installing a new 200-amp service panel, although older electrical systems occasionally need to be completely rewired. This process is more costly and time-consuming, but it’s the best way to ensure your home can safely handle the additional power.
The Benefits of Home Energy Upgrades
Upgrading your home’s electrical service may seem like a hassle, but it’s often a worthwhile investment. First and foremost, a new service panel may be necessary for the safety and reliability of your electrical system. It ensures that every appliance, fixture, and gadget in your home always receives the power it needs to operate.
Power upgrades can also help future-proof your home, providing plenty of growth potential to support new appliances, renovations, and additions. Installing a more powerful service panel can even be a sensible financial decision. If you ever sell your home, a strong and reliable electrical system can provide a boost to prospective buyers.
Don’t let a lack of power limit the comfort, convenience, or safety of your home. Call the home energy experts at One Source Heating, Cooling & Electrical to see if our professional power upgrades are right for you.
