Main Service Panel Upgrade

Do You Need a Main Service Panel Upgrade?

Many older homes were built with 100-amp electrical panels, which were sufficient at the time. However, with today’s increasing energy demands—electric vehicles, modern appliances, solar energy systems, and home automation—a 200-amp or higher panel upgrade is often necessary.

Homes with Zinsco electrical panels are especially at risk for overload and fire. These panels were widely installed in homes from the 1950s to the 1970s, but they are now known for serious safety risks. For homeowners planning to install solar panels, addressing these electrical panels is not only vital for safety but also presents an opportunity to take advantage of tax rebates when replacing them as part of a solar upgrade. See our blog post for information about Zinsco panels.

Here are some signs that you may need a main service panel upgrade installation in Placerville, Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills, Folsom, and more:

✅ Frequent Breaker Trips – If your breakers constantly trip, your panel may be overloaded.

✅ Flickering or Dimming Lights – This can indicate an inadequate power supply.

✅ Burning Smell or Scorch Marks – These are signs of overheating and potential fire hazards.

✅ Outdated Fuse Box – If your home still uses fuses, it’s time for an upgrade.
