Common reasons one might need a panel upgrade include renovating, building or adding appliances to your home which create an increased electrical demand. Old homes and panels were not designed to meet the electrical needs that are common in modern day life.

A panel upgrade may also be necessary for safety reasons if the existing panel is outdated or damaged, as this can lead to electrical arcing, overheating, or fire hazards. Panels with recalled components or visible signs of wear, such as burn marks or corrosion, pose significant safety risks and should be replaced.
