Not sure whether you can salvage your panel or need to replace it? We ensure that you receive reliable advice and expert suggestions from our knowledgeable electricians. Have peace of mind knowing that we are here to help you along every step of the project.

On average, you can expect your electrical panel to have a lifespan between 25 and 30 years. However, if you have a panel that's 25 years old or older—or it's showing signs of wear—it's highly recommended that you invest in a professional electrical panel replacement in Matthews, NC. Given that many homes in Matthews are well past the 25-year mark, you must schedule regular inspections with a licensed electrician to catch issues early.

For those with an older panel or looking to prevent costly repairs in the future, it's recommended that you schedule routine inspections every 3 to 5 years once your panel reaches 20 years in age. This helps catch problems before they escalate and mitigate the risk of electrical fires—especially if you're planning major renovations or upgrades.

Wondering if you need a new electrical panel? Some of the factors to consider include:

• You have less than 200-amp panels
• You experience flickering lights and sparking outlets
• Power surges and voltage spikes
• Visible damage on outlets and panels
• You have new electrical demands in your home
• Your circuit breaker frequently trips

Our expert electrical team is readily available to inspect and assess the condition of your current panel to see if it's time for an upgrade, replacement, or repair. Give us a call today to schedule service. Our electricians can assist with all your repair and installation needs.

While you can get by with a 100-amp panel for household electrical needs, it's best to opt for a 200-amp panel when considering an electrical upgrade. This ensures that your electrical demands can be managed by your panel for years to come, providing flexibility for all your electrical uses.
