Common Mistakes in Electrical Service Upgrades

When homeowners attempt DIY electrical upgrades, several errors frequently occur:

Underestimating Load Requirements: Many forget future needs (EV chargers, HVAC, home theaters), leading to undersized panels.
Skipping Proper Permits: Without permits and inspections, installations may violate code and can’t be insured.
Unsuitable Panel Placement: Installing in damp or cramped spaces without proper spacing causes overheating or access issues.
Improper Grounding or Bonding: This exposes occupants to shock risks and safety hazards during outages.
Mixing Panel Brands/Broken Compatibility: Using mismatched breakers voids warranties and complicates future maintenance.

Avoiding these simple mistakes ensures your electric service upgrade is both safe and reliable for years to come.
