• Residential electricians maintain and repair
  power systems inside housing units. Upgrading
  your homes electrical system increases its
  resale value. Potential buyers seek houses with
  upgraded wiring that shields them from power
  shortages and overloads.
• Upgrading to a 200-amp service panel costs around
  1,800 for installation. This larger capacity
  serves large homes with many appliances and high
  energy demands

Upgrading Your Service Panel

• Your service panel, or breaker box, distributes
  electricity throughout your home. If it has a low
  capacity or you have an old fuse box, an upgrade
  is necessary to accommodate modern appliances and
  devices. The panel may also need to be upgraded
  to a higher amperage if you are adding a new
  workshop, a pool or other large installations
  that require high power by the help of the
  Residential Electrician.
• If your lights are flickering or you constantly
  have tripped circuit breakers, it is time to
  upgrade the electrical system. A tripped circuit
  breaker indicates that there is too much current
  being used. This can lead to electrical fires.
• Modern electrical panels have breakers that can
  be reset with a flip of a switch. Upgrading from
  a 100 amp to 200 amp service is a simple
  replacement with no substantial rewiring. A
  400-amp service is more complicated and requires
  changing the location of the breaker box and
  substantial new wiring.

Installing New Light Fixtures

• Installing new light fixtures in rooms, hallways
  and other areas of your home is a great way to
  brighten up an area. It is important to consult
  the directions that came with your fixture to see
  how it should be attached to the junction box.
• Typically black and white wires connect to the
  box, sometimes using screw terminals and other
  times with a special connector. The copper (or
  green) wire often connects to a small screw on
  the mounting plate of the ceiling fixture, but it
  can also be connected to a separate grounding
  screw in the junction box.
• As with the electrical panel upgrade, shut off
  power to the area by flipping the breaker before
  starting any work. Make sure you have all the
  tools and supplies you need before attempting
  this project, and be careful not to damage your
  fixture or the wires in your ceiling electrical
  box. Be sure to wear protective gear when
  handling live electricity.

Adding Circuit Breakers

• An electrical panel is a metal box on your house
  that receives electricity from the power company
  and distributes it to outlets throughout your
  home through energized wires. If you're seeing
  signs of an outdated fuse box or electric system,
  it may be time for an upgrade.
• If you're experiencing flickering lights,
  constantly tripped breakers, or a burning smell
  around your breaker box, it could be due to an
  overload of electricity. Adding new circuits or
  upgrading to a bigger breaker panel will help
  solve the problem.
• Electrical panels typically hold 200 amps, which
  is more than enough power for most homes.
  Upgrading to a 300- or 400-amp service is rare
  but can be necessary when homeowners install
  large appliances like EV chargers, build home
  additions, or construct workshops with powerful
  power tools. These upgrades are not a
  do-it-yourself project as they require expert
  installation and can be very dangerous. Licensed
  contractors can provide quotes based on your
  specific project before work begins after that
  all of this is done by the help of the
  electrician.
