Our licensed and insured electricians ensure your home’s electrical system meets today’s power demands safely and efficiently.
Electrical panels are the heart of your home’s power distribution. An old or undersized panel can cause frequent breaker trips, pose fire risks, and limit your ability to install modern appliances, EV chargers, or home automation systems. If you live in the 18037, 18018, 18101, or surrounding zip codes, upgrading your panel is essential for safety, convenience, and peace of mind.
Why You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
- Prevent Frequent Power Outages: Old panels can cause breakers to trip unnecessarily, interrupting your daily routine.
- Support Modern Appliances: Today’s homes require more power for EV chargers, HVAC systems, smart home devices, and kitchen appliances.
- Ensure Electrical Safety: Many homes in the Lehigh Valley still have outdated panels with aluminum wiring or obsolete fuse boxes. Upgrading to a modern panel eliminates fire hazards.
- Meet Code Requirements: Electrical codes have evolved, and older panels may no longer meet safety standards, risking failed inspections and insurance issues.
