If you have an older home, chances are you need to upgrade your electrical panel. Most homes built before the 1970s had 60-amp service panels. Today, the minimum requirement is 100 amps, and most homes have 200 and 400 amp service panels.

Why Upgrades and Replacements Are So Important
Ensuring your home is safe and energy-efficient is crucial. If your electrical panel is old or too small, it might struggle with the new appliances and devices we use today, posing risks. Upgrading to a new electrical panel, service, or breakers helps prevent issues and keeps you out of the dark.
Breaker Replacements
Having a safe and comfortable home is very important, and electrical circuit breakers or fuses help keep it that way. They watch over our electricity to prevent fires and blackouts. If your breakers are old, they may not work properly and could keep turning off or worse not shut off at all. That’s where our expert electricians can help. They’ll check your current breakers and suggest new ones, like Arc Fault Breakers, Ground Fault Breakers, Smart Breakers, or even a whole new circuit.

Panel Replacement
Keeping your electrical system running smoothly is very important. One crucial part of maintaining it is changing your electrical panel, also known as a breaker box, fuse box, or break box. It’s usually recommended to replace it every 20 to 25 years. However, if it gets damaged or can’t handle more breakers or circuits, you might need to replace or upgrade it sooner to meet the increasing energy needs of your home.

We also offer services like changing fuses, replacing breaker switches, properly labelling panels and upgrading meters to make sure your electrical setup is not only efficient but also safe.

Service Upgrades
Upgrading your electrical service may be necessary due to increased power demands from hot tubs, heat pumps, car chargers, hot water tanks, renovations or new rental suites. Other times a service upgrade is needed because of safety concerns, compliance with local codes, integration of smart home technology, or insurance requirements. To ensure a safe and compliant electrical upgrade, it’s crucial to consult with the qualified electricians at CNA Electric. They can provide advice and assistance tailored to your specific needs, helping you with the potential hazards of your work.
