Signs Your Electrical Panel Needs an Upgrade

How to tell if your home's electrical panel is outdated, overloaded or unsafe.

Your home has changed — has your panel?

Many Oklahoma City homes built before the 1980s have 100-amp or smaller service. Modern HVAC, kitchens, home offices and EV chargers can push those panels past their limits.

Common warning signs

Breakers that trip often, lights that dim when appliances start, warm or buzzing panels, scorch marks, and fuse boxes are all reasons to have an electrician take a look.

What an upgrade involves

An upgrade typically replaces the panel and may increase service capacity. It usually takes a day, including utility coordination and inspection when required.
