Do you live in an older home that never seems to have enough power? Fifty years ago, homeowners didn’t need dozens of outlets in their homes. Most people had only a handful of major appliances and a single television, so a 100-amp system provided plenty of fuel to stay on top of daily activities. However, modern day families simply need more energy. At Mr. Electric of Dallas, we enjoy helping our residential and commercial clients find new ways to improve their electrical systems. If you’re still struggling with an outdated electrical service panel, then it may be time for an upgrade. 

Common Issues for Homeowners Using a 100 Amp Electrical Service Panel

In today’s modern world, we depend heavily on electronics for work, education and entertainment. A single person may have nearly a dozen devices including a television, radio, video game system, tablet, laptop, desktop, smart phone and more. Multiply these electronics for a normal sized family of four to eight people, and you’re going to need a lot more electricity to keep up. Running a high tech home on an outdated electrical system is not only frustrating, it could be dangerous. You might find yourself running to the breaker box after turning on a basic appliance. Short circuits could also occur more often, which makes your electronics vulnerable to both long term and short term damage. Also, if your home has an old fashioned service panel, it might also have old wiring and electrical components that are in need of repair or replacement. Neglecting your deteriorating electrical system could result in dangerous consequences including personal injury, fires and property damage. 

Benefits of Upgrading to a 200-Amp System

Upgrading Your Electric Meter and Panel to 200-Amp

Updating your service panel to 200 amps will provide a much greater electrical flow, which will make it easy to keep your favorite tools, appliances and equipment running at full capacity. You’ll also be able to enjoy more circuits and outlets, so you can have more places to plug in your electronics or charge your devices. Best of all, you’ll reduce your chances of having an overloaded system, which will be safer and more enjoyable for you and your loved ones.
