Charlottesville Electrical Panel Services
Stay Up and Running with Our Panel & Circuit Services
Back in the day, a home electrical panel had two wires coming in but no fuses. The house ran on 60 amp service, which was usually adequate since most didn't have air conditioning or many other major appliances. Upgrading a home more often than not meant the resident had a radio instead of just a phonograph.
In the 21st century, the average home has more than 1500 watts at 120 volts. Computers, refrigerators, radios, stereos, cell phones, Wi-Fi networks, video games, digital video recorders — these and a host of other devices and gadgets run off electricity. Our Charlottesville electricians are experts in electrical system management and can provide you with safe electrical panels and upgraded circuit wiring in Charlottesville to make sure your system is always up and running.

What Are Causes of Electrical Panel Issues?
Whether you notice an issue like flickering lights or a lack of power supply after weather-related incidents, you must act fast and find the problem to have it repaired.
Here are a few common electrical panel problems:
- Old Outdated Wiring
- Switches and Lights Turning Off at Random Times
- Fuses & Circuit Breakers Keep Tripping
- Flickering Lights and Dimming
- Sparking
- Discoloration or Charring
- Burning Smell
- Heat
Having various circuits is very convenient but it can also create many problems. If your house is left without power after running numerous gadgets or appliances, we will move dedicated circuits to a central place or upgrade your panels to accommodate your power needs. We are able to fix most equipment failures on the same day we identify the problem.
Why Do Panels Need to Be Upgraded?
Increased market demands require an electrical system that is compatible with advanced technology. During peak hours, a traditional two-wire electrical service simply does not have sufficient capacity to keep all your modern conveniences and your home entertainment systems up and running.
Advantages of upgrading your electrical panel include:
- No More Circuit Breaker Problems- An upgraded home no longer features a fuse. Circuit breakers vary in capacity and can be adjusted to the requirements of your home. An upgraded panel allows you to tailor power distribution specifically for your home.
- Energy Efficient- If you find yourself adjusting the circuit breakers on a frequent basis, you may want to consider upgrading to an electrical panel. Instead of running multiple devices at limited power, you can run various appliances at full performance and lower your electric bill.
- Add New Appliances and Electronics- An electrical panel upgrade will give you the option to add more powerful electronics, even if you cannot afford to use them all at once. An outdated system could overload and supply power to your home that is limited. Upgrading your electrical panel allows you to make choices about what you plug into your outlets.
