ELECTRICAL PANEL UPGRADES
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Is your home or business struggling with flickering lights, tripping breakers, or outdated electrical panels? At Triton Electric, we specialize in electrical panel upgrades to ensure your property meets modern electrical demands safely and efficiently.
What is an Electrical Panel Upgrade?
Your electrical panel (breaker box) is the heart of your electrical system, distributing power to different circuits in your home or business. Older electrical panels, especially those with 60-amp or 100-amp service, often struggle to support today’s electrical needs.
An electrical panel upgrade involves replacing your outdated panel with a modern 200-amp or higher capacity panel, ensuring your system can handle increased power loads without overloading.
Increased Power Capacity
New appliances, EV chargers, hot tubs, air conditioning units, and home additions require more power. An upgraded panel provides enough capacity to support these without overloading circuits.
Compliance with Electrical Codes
Electrical standards change over time to improve safety. A panel upgrade ensures your home meets BC Hydro regulations and the latest Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) standards.
Increased Home Value
A modern 200-amp panel adds value to your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers who prioritize a safe and efficient electrical system.
Enhanced Safety & Fire Prevention
Old panels can be a fire hazard, especially if they’re overloaded, outdated, or recalled. A new panel ensures proper grounding and circuit protection, reducing the risk of electrical fires.
