Inspected main panel and identified multiple code violations, including neutrals and grounds terminated under the same screws and conductors entering panels without proper connectors. Noted that multiple #10 conductors were double-lugged under a 2-pole 60A breaker and were feeding subpanels. These conductors were undersized for the connected load and posed a fire risk, as they could overheat before tripping the breaker.

Replaced the 60A breakers with 2-pole 30A breakers to match the conductor capacity and ensure proper circuit protection. Corrected all raceways and Romex entries by installing appropriate connectors. Installed a ground bar in a subpanel that lacked proper bonding to bring it into compliance.

Electrical Panel Installation

Too many older homes are still operating with outdated electrical systems. If your board employs the use of fuses, take a break in reading and book a panel update approximation immediately. If your panel is over 25 years old, you have all the more reason to schedule that panel upgrade estimate as soon as possible.

Your current lifestyle requires more electricity from the power grid than before. The latest big-screen TVs, high-end computers, and sophisticated appliances all require more power than your electrical system may be able to deliver safely. Most homeowners don’t give any thought to upgrading their electrical panel until a problem arises.

Indicators that you need an upgraded panel:

  • Need higher Amp incoming Service
  • Required accommodation for a home generator
  • The recent addition of a sub-panel
  • Additional 220v circuit
  • Use of multiple extension cords

  • Crackling or buzzing sounds from the electrical panel
  • Tripping breakers or blown fuses
  • Circuit surge
  • Lights or bulbs flickering

He’ll take the time to show you how much power you’re consuming and help you see whether or not you need a new panel. He will then afterwards supply you with upgrade alternatives. As all other services we offer, we would not begin the operation unless you have accepted our estimation.
