If Your Home Is Old, You May Need an Electrical Panel Update

Jessica Primeau • November 11, 2023

electrical panel upgradeIf your home is suddenly experiencing blown fuses, tripped breakers, or unexplained power outages – it’s time to call a professional. You may be in need of an electrical panel repair or upgrade, and AAA can help with both.

Many older St Louis homes have fuse boxes or panels that weren’t designed to handle the larger load of electricity we use today. Even a kitchen full of energy efficient appliances can be too much for an older panel. Most homes built in the 11100s were only designed to support a few lamps and basic appliances. Adding in small convenience appliances can push your panel over its limit, causing potentially dangerous situations.

Upgrading your electrical panel can prevent fires, keep your family safe, and ensure you get the proper electricity needed for your modern appliances. Contact us today to schedule an electrical inspection upgrading or repairing your circuit panel or fuse box in your St Louis or St Charles home.
