Residential Services
The electrical demands of a modern home are far greater than they were thirty years ago. Homes built decades ago may not be able to handle the high electrical loads today. This makes an electric panel upgrade necessary.
One of the numerous services we at Storm Electrical provide to the local community is electrical panel upgrades. Panels tend to become outdated and obsolete with time. The standard 100 amp panels in older homes are incapable of handling todays extensive loads. As a result, blackouts and nuisance trippings are common. Overloaded panels can raise the risk of a fire as well as the cost of a complete replacement. An electrical panel upgrade can be completed by a residential electrician such as Storm Electrical.
There are a variety of reasons why you might need an electrical panel upgrade. The panel separates the circuits that supply electricity to your home. Each one is safeguarded by a circuit breaker, which is prone to malfunction. The following are some of the reasons why a panel upgrade or modification may be required.
This is one of the most common causes of home fires that calls for an immediate panel upgrade. A burning odor, flickering lights, sparking power outlets, and a jolt when touching your appliances are all signs that something could be wrong with your wiring.
Higher amperage may be required if you are purchasing a new air conditioner, hot tub, or other energy-intensive devices. If your amps are insufficient, your circuit breakers may trip every time you turn on a new piece of equipment. For this, a 150 amp to 200 amp electrical panel is typically recommended.
If you've been plugging everything into one main power outlet with many power strips and extension cables, it's time for an electrical panel upgrade.

I had the pleasure of working with Storm Electrical after the purchase of my new home. The house needed some electrical updates identified during the home inspection. They were able to provide a quote, schedule the work, and complete the job within a week. The guys also came on Saturday and Sunday, which was very helpful for me since I work from home and need internet. Will definitely call Storm again next time I need an electrician.
I had an excellent experience with Storm Electrical! From start to finish, their professionalism and expertise were outstanding. I highly recommend them for any electrical work. I'll definitely be using them again in the future.
I want to thank them for the excellent work done at my property. Great service from competent, qualified electricians. I recommend this company to anyone. Thank you for your attention.
