Call 605-250-6993Signs you need a panel upgrade
Your electrical panel feeds every circuit in your home. When it gets old or runs out of room, you start to notice problems. These are the common signs it is time for a breaker box upgrade.
Breakers trip often
If you reset breakers on a regular basis, your panel may be overloaded or worn out.
You still have a fuse box
Fuse boxes worked years ago, but they cannot keep up with a modern home. Most now need a breaker panel.
The panel feels warm or hums
A panel that is warm to the touch, buzzing, or crackling is a safety concern. Give us a call soon.
Not enough breaker slots
When every slot is full, there is no room to add circuits. An upgrade gives you space to grow.
You are adding large appliances
Hot tubs, car chargers, and shop tools pull a lot of power. Your panel may need more capacity.
Your home is several decades old
Many older Sioux Falls homes still run on their first panel. After a few decades, parts fall behind.
What a panel upgrade involves
A panel replacement is a bigger job than a simple repair, so it helps to know what to expect. Here is how we handle it from start to finish.
Most upgrades are finished in a single day. If we spot worn wiring along the way, we point it out and can take care of the electrical repair at the same time.
- 1Look at your current panel and how much power your home uses.
- 2Pull the permit and coordinate the short power shutoff with the utility.
- 3Turn off the power and remove the old panel safely.
- 4Install the new panel with fresh, clearly labeled breakers.
- 5Have the work inspected to confirm everything is safe.
Older Sioux Falls homes with 100 amp service
A lot of homes in Sioux Falls were built with 100 amp service, and some older ones have even less. That was plenty when houses had fewer devices and smaller appliances. Today a busy home runs computers, large kitchen appliances, air conditioning, and often a car charger.
Many of these homes now move up to 200 amp service to keep up. A larger service gives you steady power, fewer nuisance trips, and room to add circuits later. If you are planning to add anEV chargeror finish a basement, a 200 amp panel is often the first step. We look at your service size and tell you honestly whether an upgrade makes sense.
Commercial panel work
Businesses have their own panel needs. Shops, offices, and restaurants add equipment over time, and the original panel may not have room for it. We handle commercial panel replacements and upgrades, including work on larger and three phase systems. We plan the job around your hours so downtime stays short.
If your building has olderwiringfeeding the panel, we can update that as part of the project. Whether you run a small storefront or a larger facility, we make sure your panel is safe and ready for the load you put on it.
