Electric Service Upgrade for Residential Properties

As modern homes become increasingly reliant on advanced technology and appliances, many older homes struggle to keep up with the electrical demand. An outdated or undersized electrical system can lead to frequent breaker trips, dimming lights, and even safety hazards like electrical fires. At Refined Electrical Services, LLC, we specialize in precise electric service upgrades to ensure your home’s electrical system can handle the power requirements of today’s appliances, electronics, and future needs.

Upgrading your home’s electrical service involves increasing the capacity of your electrical panel and updating wiring and components to meet modern safety standards. Whether you’re adding new appliances, converting to electric heating, installing an electric vehicle charger, or simply want to ensure your home’s electrical system is safe and efficient, our team of licensed electricians provides expert electric service upgrades that deliver the power and reliability your home needs.

We assess your current electrical system, recommend the appropriate upgrades, and install all necessary components to ensure your home can support higher electrical loads. With an upgraded electrical service, you can enjoy greater convenience, increased safety, and the ability to power modern technology without overloading your system.

Our Electric Service Upgrade Services Include:

Electrical Panel Upgrade

The electrical panel is the central hub that distributes power throughout your home. Older panels may be limited in capacity or outdated, leading to frequent tripped breakers or safety concerns. We upgrade your electrical panel to accommodate higher amperage, typically from 100-amp service to 200-amp service, depending on your home’s needs. This ensures that your home has the electrical capacity to power modern appliances, HVAC systems, and additional circuits without overloading.

Breaker Box Replacement

If your breaker box is outdated or unable to support modern electrical loads, we replace it with a new, safer model. A new breaker box provides better protection against electrical overloads, short circuits, and other potential hazards. We ensure that the replacement box is properly sized and installed to meet your home’s electrical demands while enhancing safety and reliability.

Wiring Upgrades

In some cases, an electric service upgrade may also require updating your home’s wiring to handle the increased load. We provide wiring upgrades that ensure your home’s electrical system is compliant with modern safety codes. Our team replaces outdated aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, or worn-out insulation with high-quality copper wiring to improve safety and efficiency.

Meter Base & Service Mast Upgrade

As part of an electric service upgrade, we may also need to replace or upgrade your home’s meter base and service mast. These components are responsible for delivering electricity from the utility company to your home. We install upgraded meter bases and service masts that meet local code requirements, ensuring safe and reliable electricity delivery.

Grounding & Bonding Improvements

Grounding and bonding are critical for protecting your home’s electrical system from surges and electrical faults. During an electric service upgrade, we ensure that your home’s grounding system is properly installed and compliant with current codes. This includes installing ground rods, grounding conductors, and bonding wires to protect your home from electrical shocks and surges.

Arc-Fault & GFCI Protection

As part of an electrical upgrade, we often recommend installing arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) and ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). These safety devices help protect against electrical fires and shocks by detecting dangerous electrical faults. We install AFCI and GFCI breakers and outlets in key areas of your home to enhance overall safety.

Why You Should Upgrade Your Electrical Service

Upgrading your home’s electrical service is essential for ensuring that your electrical system can support modern appliances and provide adequate power without compromising safety. Here’s why an electric service upgrade is a smart investment for homeowners:

Many older homes were not designed to support the power needs of today’s modern appliances, including electric ovens, HVAC systems, water heaters, and electric vehicle chargers. Upgrading your electrical service ensures your home has the capacity to power these appliances safely and efficiently.

Outdated electrical systems can pose significant safety risks, including electrical fires, short circuits, and shock hazards. An electric service upgrade improves safety by replacing outdated panels, wiring, and breakers with modern, safer components that are designed to handle increased electrical loads.

An upgraded electrical system can help improve your home’s energy efficiency by reducing power loss from outdated wiring or overloaded circuits. This can result in lower utility bills and better overall performance of your home’s electrical systems.

 Electrical codes have changed significantly over the years, and older homes may no longer meet current safety standards. Upgrading your electrical service ensures your home complies with all modern codes and regulations, reducing liability and protecting your home from potential hazards.

An upgraded electrical system is an attractive feature for homebuyers, especially as more homeowners seek homes equipped with modern technology and energy-efficient systems. By upgrading your electrical service, you can increase the value of your home and make it more appealing to potential buyers.
