Safety –

The main breaker panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system, providing essential protection against electrical shock and fire hazards. Because of this, the age and type of your panel and circuit breakers is important. Outdated and in some cases recalled panels are still prevalent in many older homes, and may not be providing adequate safety measures. Our electricians are experts at identifying and addressing safety concerns in electrical panels, whether it is a worn-out circuit breaker or a complete panel replacement. An updated panel will provide a higher level of safety for all your home’s wiring, including arc-fault and ground-fault protection where needed.

Functionality –

Many older electrical panels provide a very limited amount of circuit space. This can be a problem when projects around your home require new electrical installations. Hot tubs, saunas, EV chargers, air conditioning and other improvements may require additional circuit breakers to be installed. CAZ Electric can evaluate your system and find the correct solutions to meet your needs. These may include using half-size breakers or subpanels to create space for new circuits, replacement with a larger panel, or increasing the electrical capacity of your panel to handle more demand. As trends move away from gas fueled appliances and toward electrification, these updates can be vital to the realization of your energy goals.

Why upgrade your electrical panel?

  • Replace outdated or unsafe equipment
  • Create room for more circuits
  • Add arc-fault, ground-fault and surge protection for safety
  • Increased power for home electrical upgrades

 Has your electrical panel been recalled?

A surprisingly large number of older homes have electrical panels that have been recalled for safety reasons. If you have a Zinsco, GTE Sylvania, Magna-Trip, Challenger, Stab-Lok, or Federal Pacific panel there is a good chance it has been recalled and may present fire and electrocution risks. Our electricians are experts at replacing recalled panels with brand new safe and reliable products. Give yourself peace of mind by eliminating and replacing your recalled or damaged panel.
