Electrical Panel Upgrades

Your electrical panel is the core of your home’s power system, distributing electricity to all circuits. If your home is older, your panel may struggle to meet the demands of modern technology, leading to issues like flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or the inability to add new appliances.

At Bellows, we provide expert panel upgrade services, ensuring your home is safe and up to today’s electrical standards.

Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?

Older panels may not provide sufficient power for new appliances or safety protections. Here are key reasons to consider an upgrade:

• Add Capacity for New Appliances: Many older panels lack space for additional circuits, limiting upgrades.

• Frequent Breaker Trips: Overloaded circuits can cause constant breaker trips.

• Outdated Fuse Boxes: Homes with fuse boxes instead of modern breakers may face difficulty with insurance and increased safety risks.

Upgrading ensures your home is equipped to handle modern energy needs safely.

Our Electrical Panel Services

Panel Assessment & Recommendations

We assess your current system and recommend the right panel size (100, 200, or 400 amps) to suit your home’s needs.

Full Panel Replacement

We replace outdated panels, including Zinsco Panels, with modern circuit breaker systems that meet current safety codes.

Subpanels & Circuit Additions

Need extra circuits? We install subpanels for home additions or high-power appliances like EV chargers.

Benefits of Upgrading

• Increased Safety: Modern panels reduce fire risks and improve circuit protection.

• Support for Modern Technology: Safely power new appliances and future-proof your home for renovations or tech upgrades.

• Insurance Compliance: Upgrade to meet insurance requirements and avoid issues with outdated fuse panels.

When to Upgrade?

Consider an upgrade if you’re experiencing:

• Frequent breaker trips

• Home renovations or appliance additions

• An outdated electrical system in a home over 25 years old

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zach did a fantastic and determined job of conquering our leak from under our crawlspace. Bellows sent someone an hour after I called with a leak report, although it was the end of the day. He diagnosed the issue, got cold water working, and was back the next day with the parts for the hot. Great attitude and fabulous service. Thanks, team bellows!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I give high praise to Bellows for performing three different jobs in succession. First, after being called to have a look, a Bellows troubleshooter recommended we replace our 40-year-old central furnace. We opted to respect his professional judgement. A two-man crew came and got the job done efficiently and with little disturbance. We asked for someone to have a look at our equally old shower valve. A man came to estimate the job then returned to replace it another day. Perfect! We love that we no longer wrestle with the old valve. Last, we asked that someone come to look at our home lighting. A man came to help us formulate a plan. Another two-man crew came and began work. We discussed our needs and minor changes were made to improve our environment further. In every case, we were treated courteously. When they requested permission to make changes, they were forthright and benefitted our environment. A sticking point to me, a retired craftsman, is cleanliness. Every person entering our home was professionally neat and left not the slightest dust for us after they left. I am impressed. Overall, my wife and I spoke with many people from Bellows both in person and on the phone. We would like to stress our perception that in every case, we felt we were working with a family business. That is, we were addressed courteously, and as friends, not simply clients. A few weeks on and we still marvel that we waited so long to do this work. As you see, we're glad we chose Bellows. Thanks!
