The electrical service in your home not only keeps your home supplied with electricity. It is also responsible for protecting your home and occupants from electrical hazards.
Outdated electrical panels may malfunction, usually when the circuits are overloaded. You may notice lights start flickering or you can't run two appliances at the same time without tripping the breaker. And, in the case that the breaker fails to trip. It will be a major shock hazard, may case fire or melt wiring which could cause damage to property.
Also, with new appliances and technical devices we now have in our homes. Older homes just don’t have sufficient power available to handle the increased demand. Therefore, an “electrical service change” will be required to accommodate the need for the extra electrical demands.
