The Importance of Your Home Electrical System

Your home's electrical system is like the body's central nervous system - and the electrical service panel is the heart of your home. It's important that it's installed correctly, and for homes over 30 years old, you should seriously consider modernizing your electric panel to avoid dangerous connections that could result in fire.

A power provider, an electric or utility company, brings electricity to each home and installs a meter. Everything past that point, including the electrical panel, is the homeowner's responsibility. Upgrading and replacing an electrical panel is therefore up to the homeowner as well. This work requires a licensed electrician. Call Sylvia Electrical Contracting toll free at 978-535-6661 and we will answer all your questions.

Do your lights flicker? Are you still replacing fuses in an antiquated electrical panel? Or are your breakers tripping constantly? If so, your home is likely equipped with just a 60 amp electrical service, or a 100 amp electrical service, rather than the standard 200 amp electrical service that is installed in most homes today. You should upgrade or replace your electrical panel.
