Fast & Reliable Electrical Panel Upgrades in DC, MD & VA

Electrical Heavy Ups in Maryland, Washington, DC & Northern Virginia

Home offices, telecommuting, power-draining technology, and the like can put a strain on your electrical panel. Many homeowners find their current electrical circuit doesn’t provide enough “juice” to stay powered. Interruptions in service, tripped breakers, and flickering lights are all signs that you simply don’t have enough power coming to your home.

One way to correct your insufficient power is by investing in an electrical panel upgrade or a heavy-up. Electrical heavy-ups increase the power of your home’s electrical circuits. This increase in amperage (usually to 200 amps) allows you can safely power all of your appliances, electrical devices, and lighting, at the same time, without worrying about an interruption.

If you think it’s time for an upgrade, trust Michael Bonsby with your electrical heavy-up. Since 1992, businesses and homeowners alike have turned to us for all of their electrical needs. We offer a full range of services, and our certified electricians place customer satisfaction above all else. Contact us today for a free estimate!

When To Get an Electrical Panel Upgrade in the DC area

Electrical heavy-ups don’t just make your life easier by expanding your ability to power your central AC, hair dryer, and video games all at the same time. An upgrade to a system that isn’t supplying adequate amperage to your home is a safety measure you can’t afford to ignore. Overloaded circuitry can damage wires inside walls, which can easily spark and catch fire, especially in older homes where electrical heavy-ups are most needed.

You need an electrical panel upgrade if:

  • You are remodeling your home to include an addition, such as an in-law suite, rec room, or a media room.
  • You add heavy electrical equipment to your home (the addition of a larger chef’s oven in the kitchen, heavy power equipment in your workshop or garage, or a hot tub or spa can create a demand on your circuit panel that can’t be met).
  • Your home is more than 20 years old.

Don’t overlook the need to upgrade your amperage, or you could risk serious damage to your new devices and your home. Contact us today for a free estimate!

Heavy Ups in Maryland, DC & Virginia

One of the great things about living in such a historic area is the number of homes preserved in the style dating back a century or more. Restoring homes in and around Washington, DC, is very popular. Just remember, if your home is more than 20 years old, you should have your electrical panel inspected to make sure you have adequate amperage.

Most homes, midcentury and older, have electrical panels with fuses instead of circuit breakers. At the time these homes were built, 30 amps to 60 amps of power sufficiently operated most standard household appliances. Today’s homes operate at closer to 100 amps to 200 amps. If your home still has an old-school fuse box, it’s time for an electrical heavy-up.
