When it's time to upgrade your panel
Your electrical panel is the heart of the building. If breakers trip constantly, the panel is warm to the touch, you still have a fuse box, or you're adding serious load — an EV charger, a finished basement, new kitchen equipment, a tenant build-out — it's time. An undersized or failing panel isn't just inconvenient; it's the most common electrical fire risk we see in Chicago-area homes and businesses.
