Maximize Your Home's Electrical Capacity with Upgrades

Upgrading your electrical panel can provide your home with the capacity it needs to handle modern electrical demands. With the increasing use of electronic devices, appliances, and smart home technology, older electrical panels may struggle to keep up. Our team at We Power Electric LLC can assess your current electrical panel and recommend an upgrade to ensure your home has the power it needs.

Benefits of upgrading your electrical panel include:

• Increased electrical capacity
• Improved safety and reduced risk of electrical fires
• Ability to add new circuits and accommodate additional electrical loads
• Enhanced reliability of your electrical system
• Compliance with current electrical codes and regulations

Benefits of Installing Electrical Subpanels

Another way to upgrade your electrical system is with the installation of a subpanel. You can benefit from an electrical subpanel if you have high energy requirements in multiple areas of your home, or your main panel’s capacity is full. Areas of high usage that may need a subpanel include garages, sheds, and mother-in-law cottages. 

Advantages of subpanels include:

• Convenient: If you’re completing a project in a workshop or accessory dwelling unit (ADU), you don’t want to go through the main home to reset a circuit if it trips. Resetting them is much easier if the panel is near an area requiring high energy.
• Energy efficiency: Shortening the distance of circuitry— especially for high-energy areas like a workshop, EV charger, or secondary dwelling — can save money. Not only does this make your home more energy efficient to lower monthly costs, but it can also save money during installation. 
• ADUs: A subpanel can perfectly handle your electrical needs if you’re considering adding an accessory dwelling unit to your home or property. This lets you charge the renter for the energy they’re using instead of an estimate of cost if you’re on the same electrical system.
