Electrical Panel Upgrades in Frederick, MD

Signs You Need Electrical Panel Maintenance

If you have an older home and meet one or more of the following criteria, you might need to upgrade your electrical panel:

• You invested in new major appliances like a refrigerator, hot tub, or HVAC system that require a 240V circuit.
• You added on a new room or floor.
• You use a lot of electrical devices at once or have a sophisticated home entertainment system.

Upgrading a 100-amp panel to 200 amps can prevent recurring power surges and could even lower your homeowners insurance due to the increased safety factor. Learn the benefits of upgrading your electrical panel in Frederick, MD.

What Size Electrical Panel Do You Need?

Modern standard circuit breaker panels have a 200-amp capacity. That means they have more circuits, a significant advantage in modern homes. Keep in mind a larger panel doesn’t use more electricity, it just lets you add enough circuits and electrical capacity so your home’s electricity needs can be met today and in the future. Cramming too many electrical-dependent devices onto a small number of circuits increases the chances of overloading them.

Signs your electrical panel may need an upgrade include:

• Crackling sounds from the panel
• Frequent circuit breaker “trips”
• It still uses fuses
• Rust and corrosion on circuit breakers
• Appliances not running at full power

A sure sign you probably should electrical panel maintenance is if you use a lot of extension cords and power strips throughout your house. Learn additional signs your Electrical Panel needs an Upgrade or replacement.

My experience with Wenbrooke Service was amazing from start to finish. I needed a return duct redone, a mini-split installed in my shed, and an outdoor compressor wash-down. Sara came out promptly to provide a quote and was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the entire process. Sara took the time to make sure everything was done correctly and with great care. During the compressor cleaning, she went over the coils multiple times to remove as much debris as possible from the fins, ensuring the unit would run as efficiently as possible. Her attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right really stood out. I highly recommend Wenbrooke Service, and if you have the chance to work with Sara, you’ll be in great hands. Thank you for the excellent service!
