Safe, Reliable, and Code-Compliant Electrical Panel Replacements
Your electrical panel is the backbone of your home or business’s electrical system. It distributes electricity from the utility company to different circuits throughout your property, powering everything from lights and appliances to heating and cooling systems. A properly functioning panel regulates electricity flow, prevents overloads, and ensures electrical safety.
Over time, electrical panels can become outdated, overloaded, or unsafe. If your home was built decades ago or you’ve recently added high-power appliances, your panel may no longer be sufficient. An electrical panel upgrade ensures your system can handle modern energy demands safely and efficiently. At TL Davis Electric & Design, we provide professional electrical panel upgrades for homeowners and businesses in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Claremore, Owasso, and surrounding areas. Whether your panel is outdated, damaged, or simply not powerful enough, our licensed electricians will install a modern, code-compliant system to meet your needs.
What Does an Electrical Panel Do?
Your electrical panel (also called a breaker box) is responsible for:
Receiving electricity from the utility company and distributing it to different circuits in your home or business.
Regulating power supply to prevent overloads and electrical fires.
Shutting off power automatically when a circuit is overloaded or short-circuited.
Allowing manual power shutoff in case of electrical repairs or emergencies.
Older panels were designed for homes with minimal electrical demands, often supporting just 60 or 100 amps. Today’s homes require at least 200 amps or more to power modern appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, and smart home technology. If your panel is outdated, you may experience frequent power issues, overloaded circuits, and potential fire hazards.
Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
If your electrical panel isn’t functioning properly, it can lead to power failures, safety hazards, and costly electrical damage. Here are some signs that indicate it’s time for an upgrade:
Frequent breaker trips: If your breakers trip often, your panel may not be able to handle your electrical load.
Flickering or dimming lights: This can indicate an overloaded panel or improper power distribution.
Burning smells or scorch marks: These are warning signs of overheating and a potential fire hazard.
Buzzing or crackling sounds: Your panel should operate silently—noises could mean faulty wiring or loose connections.
Outdated fuse box: If you still have a fuse box instead of a breaker panel, it’s time for an upgrade.
Not enough outlets: Constantly relying on power strips and extension cords? Your panel may not be supplying enough power.
Adding new appliances: High-power appliances like HVAC units, electric water heaters, and EV chargers require additional electrical capacity.
Home renovations or additions: Expanding your home or upgrading your kitchen? Your electrical system needs to keep up.
Ignoring these warning signs can lead to serious electrical hazards, including the risk of electrical fires.
Fuse Box to Breaker Panel Upgrades
If your home still has a fuse box, it’s time for an upgrade. Fuse boxes were common decades ago, but they aren’t designed for modern energy demands and pose fire and safety risks.
💡 Why upgrade from a fuse box to a breaker panel? ✔ Breakers are safer than fuses – No more replacing blown fuses! Breakers trip automatically in case of overload. ✔ Supports modern appliances – Fuse boxes can’t handle the power needs of today’s homes. ✔ Lowers insurance costs – Some home insurance companies charge higher rates for homes with fuse boxes.
